Activity switching

General

Hello,

Finally got a few activities programmed in today and I noticed when switching activities the remote gets confused and the power of devices do not stay on if needed to be on.

Any tips?

  1. All activities must be in the same activity group if in the same room.
  2. If an IR device only has power_toggle create copies named power_on an power_off and use these in the activity start/end sequences.

Thank you, will give that a try!

Hi - did this work? I have the same issue I think. I have activities for Sky, Apple TV and BluRay. Each has a sequence to switch on TV (and set to correct input - HDMI 2 coming from the amp), switch on amp and set to correct channel, and switch on the device. All work fine from a starting point of everything off. But if I’ve been watching Sky and want to switch to watching Apple TV for example, going directly to that activity ends up switching off the TV and amp. Did you find a workaround?

Hi, like Ralf said: you have to use avtivity groups. See for example this doc.

Thanks both. I’ll take a look this weekend.

And be sure to write the POWER_ON and POWER_OFF commands with IR devices in capitals, otherwise it will not have any effect in regards to switching between activities
