Need help with SQ blaster set-up

Apps & Remote Access Unmaintained
1

I can’t get my IR devices appear in the Vera UI. I have tried the following:

  1. Make sure SQ blaster works.
  2. Install the SQ blaster plugin on Vera, I see the plugin and 4 aux devices.
  3. Get the configuration zipfile from SQ blaster and extract required XML file for my TV.
  4. I modified this XML file (with the help of this forum) to an i_dev.xml and an d_dev.xml file.
  5. I have uploaded both files to my vera.
  6. Create a new device, filled out the name, and both XML files.
  7. The device appears in the Vera UI now. I then set “SQ Blaster Plugin” as the parent of this newly created device.
  8. Reload the UI and the device is gone… cleaning browser cache, retry, same problem.

How to solve this problem?

Hi Kariem,

I never tried to use the blaster with vera, instead I use the vera with SQRemote. But this requires iOS devices to install the SQRemote on.
So what I do is to trigger Scenes and IR from by iPad/iPhone not start a scene on Vera which involves IR on the Blaster.
I hope you understand what I mean.
If you need any more help, I will try to.
Cheers

What you want to do is possible, i have done it, but it is very long winded and complicated (at least for me it was). I am not sure i would be able to do it again, or would want to. I think the instructions of how to are here on this part of the forum. If i find them i will add a link to my post

There is some information here:

I dont think SQ blaster works with AC units due to the AC’s IR codes being a different format i think. I think you might have to use something like a Remotec ZXT120, which specifically for AC ir control

Thanks Mike…

But I thought when I can learn a code, I can lear any code…

Do you know if global cache flex ip like this:

I have the old redeye and that one learns my ir codes of my air cond…

I am worry with this because I have 9 sqblasters to work with air cond…
