Hi Everyone
I have a silly problem. I’m using the wifi2ir iTach to switch my Sony tv and amp and everything works as described and expected except for one thing…
I have to press my discrete power on scene button 3 or 4 times in close succession for my devices to switch on.
So I know it is the repeat count for this specific IR command that needs to be incremented but I have no idea where this should happen. I found this which seems to be related: http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,7812.msg95765.html#msg95765
but it is not changing anything. I cant build the repeats into the scene as the delay is too long (1 second)
I am quite new to this so any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Ben
That is the reverse. The changes made there were a result of the implementation file was designed to send ir twice which applies to everything and there 1 became 11 etc.
How have you added the code manually or using the Vera embedded functions. Sony normally send 3 times for on/off as far as I could previously establish. One way is to modify the implementation file and copy the code and repeat in the same command (add it to the end of the current string) for the command.

Thanks Brientim
I got that and tried changing numbers to 3 and 4 but still, no luck. Anyway - I reverted to the old xml as the other buttons stopped working so I don?t want to go down that path.
Your second question: I used the Vera embedded functions to add the devices and that got me half-way. I have a newer TV and Amp so I’ve had to learn the codes and change the implementation codeset.xml for some of the buttons. Your suggestion to copy and paste the command over and over was my first idea. I tried it but it still looked like the command was sent only once. The devices did not turn on. I think that there has to be a little delay for it to be interpreted as different commands. I’ll try again
My next idea is to try and learn that code specifically again and use the full code in stead of simplifying or shortening it in the code learner. I’ll report back. Any other ideas?
Yes, it was but looking at the first set, it appears to be already recorded twice…, look for 03EC as the end of the ir set.
What happens if your run this through a test through GC program ilearn/Ihelp whichever it is. It allows you to capture the raw code and then test send utilising repeats in it. Therefore, you should be able to get both the or code and how many repeats are actual required.
When you added the Sony IR did you test the whole IR sets to see if one of them worked. If I remember correctly there was 8 sets for Sony TV. I have Sony TV newer and older models and was able to get them to work when doing the testing as part of the other threads. I can’t do this now because I am only on my mobile and not readily available and the phone is about to die until charged.
The testing was recorded here. Note the initial error is now rectified as you have already established by you.
