Ramorous Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hi!Currently, I have the PS3 and IR2BT setup and Room Off works just fine. The problem is, I don't want to leave my PS3 on if I switch to another device (Boxee/Xbox/TV/etc...). I setup my red button to turn off the PS3, that works fine and set the PS3 Power State to False.So I hit the red button and the PS3 turns off just fine, switch over to another device and when I'm done with it hit "Room Off" but then it tries to go through the Power off sequence of the PS3 again. How can I stop the Power Off sequence from running the off script within the driver if I've already set the PS3 to Off and Set the Power State variable to False? (FYI I've tried True and Toggle, still no go) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramorous Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 Since 60~ of you don't know the answer, I figured I'd share what I ended up doing. I have a 4x2 HDMI matrix, so just repeat steps 5 to 7 for each room. I could have gone with a boolean variable in the end, but my logic starting out had 3 different power states (On/Room Off/Red Button Off) for the PS3 in my head so I at the time I needed a numeric variable. I might change it to boolean later on and test it out, but so far this works. Also, at that same time I'll add some checks so that if Room A has PS3 on, then Room B can't turn it off.1. I got my dealer to edit the IR2BT driver to get rid of the On/Off sequences.2. I created a variable named "PS3-Power"3. I created 2 macros, PS3PowerOn and PS3PowerOff3.1. PS3PowerOn Macro -> Send Number 0 (Any command sent over will turn it on, I chose 0 cause if it is already on, it won't do much)3.2. PS3PowerOff Macro -> Left 10 times, Up 12, X, X, Down X (Delays between each of about 300ms, the final sequence is like that in case something is downloading)Now onto the programming part.4. PS3-Power Variable -> When Changed---- if PS3-Power = 0 then run PS3PowerOff macro---- if PS3-Power = 1 then run PS3PowerOff macro---- if PS3-Power = 2 then run PS3PowerOn macro5. Room -> Power Off---- if (Room PS3 is selected) and (PS3-Power = 2) then PS3-Power=06. Room -> Red Button---- if (Room PS3 is selected) and (PS3-Power = 2) then PS3-Power=17. Room -> Video Selection Changed---- if (Room PS3 is selected) then PS3-Power=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henniae Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Do you realize that unless you physically remove power from the PS3 it is in standby mode and still on? It never really shuts off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never really shuts off.I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not. I'm fully aware of the actual power states the PS3 goes into. What I was trying to accomplish was being able to power down my PS3 so that it isn't left running while I switched to another media. Just like if I put my Boxee to standby, I can't get IR to wake it up as it's over external USB receiver and those power down as part of the standby process. Not many devices actually power off when you hit the power button, most only go to sleep/standby and keep consuming power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henniae Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 No sarcasm. Just wondering what the point of having it shut off/go into standby mode when you switch to a different source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't want to hit room off and then go back to Boxee after, just an extra step for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bk Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Not to mention the heat the PS3 generates and the fan noise if you have the model i have sounds like a jet taking off when warm!OH and the best product i found for this is the Schmartz PS3IR-1000, it requires either external power to operate or via USB, not from the PS3 as power shuts down when turned off (stand by) i use the usb from a HC300C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't pay as much as they are asking for it now. It can be powered by USB or batteries. I haven't had any issues, the only problem is no discrete "off" or "on"... but oh well...Oh, and yes, it is an original 80gb PS3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
