Bug994 Posted October 3, 2024 Posted October 3, 2024 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?
Bug994 Posted October 3, 2024 Author Posted October 3, 2024 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).
firstone Posted October 3, 2024 Posted October 3, 2024 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.
Bug994 Posted October 3, 2024 Author Posted October 3, 2024 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...
firstone Posted October 6, 2024 Posted October 6, 2024 @Bug994PM me and we can troubleshoot it. I don't think it's working correctly for you.
