hello
I’ve been trying to create a remote control on vera which allows me to control all my av gear via usb uirt.
I can create scenes in vera and emit pronto code for controlling my tv etc, so i know its working.
Now when i create a new scene to use as a remote control it lets me choose the picture i want to use as the remote and lets me map the buttons, i then save it and go back to create remote using the save setup i did above. when i click on the send a command box it won’t show the usb uirt so i can map pronto codes to the remote control buttons ??? does anybody know how to do this??
please help i’m still very new to vera (about three weeks now) and controlling my av gear from the smartphone app is one of the things i was hoping vera was going to be able to deal with.
many thanks for any help.
I haven’t done this in a while so I don’t know if it works any more, but if you have either an iPod touch, iPhone or iPad then I recommend SQremote as it gives a far superior experience!
That said, can you get to the remote from your smartphone? I seem to remember it used to be done from the mobile interface by typing [yourveraIP]/mobile. This was however prior to UI4 though and now I think you’d have to go through cp.mios,com/mobile instead.
Hi strangely
thanks for the advice.
if i go to the mobile site and try and run the scene that contains the remote it just keeps reloading on the screen and doesn’t show any remote control.
i here very good things about SQ Remote but there is no chance i would purchase any apple products (android all the way) so SQ remote isn’t an option really.
It seems that a universal remote should be a simple thing to create with vera but obviously not.
i’m a bit dissapointed in vera to be honest, no “and”/ “if” logic without coding/scripting is poor, universal remote controls just not working… :-\
I think i made a mistake in purchasing this and will now be considering just getting rid of vera and just using homeseer.
many thanks for your time strangely.
