How to get IR button press to fire a program?

Featured Replies

Posted

OK - I have this set up and going and I see my Harmony remote button presses get picked up by the Polyglot plugin and I have the eISY event viewer picking them up as well.  It created my nodes in my devices (eiSY IR Controller/n002_irbutton_104, etc.).  All good so far.

What I'm not understanding is the next step:  how do I get one of those events to fire my program?  I've tried "if Control > eISY IR Controller / IR Button K is pressed"  (which shows up as "is switched pressed") which doesn't work.  I've also tried "Status > State is Pressed" as well.

What do I need to use as an If condition for this to work?  Missing something obvious?

I guess I'll keep answering my questions here (I need to learn patience before I post).

It looks like "Released" is a good event to subscribe to instead of "Pressed".  That seems to work better...  Thanks for this solution...  should be a good replacement for the old 944 IR (although I am also getting some keypresses not registering like noted in that other thread).

Control should work. I know I've tested that in the past. Possibly need to increase threshold a bit in order for program to catch it. You can play around with it, if you want. If you can't get it working, let me know. I'll try it when I get a chance.

It seems to be working with "Released" instead of "Pressed" - Control works now.  I'm still seeing a few key drops here and there, but nothing too bad.  My all-time favorite home automation thing I did:  pause button on my Harmony sends a pause command to the player and sets the accent lights to 25% with an IR command to the (now eISY).  That's working again now...
