IR Implementation Delay

Plugins & Plugin Development General Plugin Discussion

Hi All,

I’m attempting to create an IR plugin for activating my roomba when I’m away, the pronto code I have is correct, but no amount of repeating the code within I_Roomba.xml will power on the Roomba, it seems the Roomba expects a slight delay between codes to accept them (hitting the power button in raid succession from SQ Remote is enough to power it on)

Is it possible to set a delay between sending codes in an IR implementation file? Failing that, is it possible to send the GC-100 a null code, so I could send power, null, power, null, power?

Obviously, I could just repeat the control via luup code when launching a scene, but would prefer to do this the right way.

Thanks,
Hackworth

I had a similar issue with changing my TV channel. I just sent the codes one by one in a scene. The first key code is sent immediately, the second after a 1s delay and the third after a 2s delay and so on. (All the delays are counted from scene start.) This works perfectly. :slight_smile:
