Neter66 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I have an A/V switch that uses IR for control. I used the driver wizard, and taught the system all of the IR commands. I then created macros to change inputs/outputs. When in the driver wizard, to test, I click the 'Emit' button. Everything works as expected.However, when I then try to run the macro to execute a change of input from within the system, nothing happens. It works in driver wizard. Won't work within Composer directly, or as an action from a 250. (I set the blue button to run a macro, nothing happened)Any ideas what might be the problem?ThanksD.

Why not just set the bindings up correctly and have the system do the macro itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Question on the MACRO agent, is this suppose to be a feature in lieu of bindings? Why would I use this as opposed to programming under a particular device action, scheduler, etc. Seems redundant to tools already within CHE.

Neter66 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 I'm curious, why use a macro? Why not just set the bindings up correctly and have the system do the macro itself.The bindings are setup correctly, but it was not working, so I tried assigning the macro directly to a button so I could fire it to test if it was bindings, the macro, or something else.ThanksD.

neil12011 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 The way I did mine (4x1 component switch) was just make a generic video switch driver, as long as the bindings are correct it will work, I don't use macros. Let me know if I can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neter66 Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 Huge kudos and thanks to Neil. Issue was a related to the driver being configured as a direct connect, and not an IR blaster. A quick walk thru the driver wizard to change the output type, and rebinding the inputs/outputs to the new driver, and all is good.Much appreciated.ThanksD.

neil12011 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 No, 5 minute phone call. He already has a dealer, I just had a feeling it was something simple, turns out I was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
