I am new to the web configurator so maybe there is a setting I’m overlooking. I have created activities (like “Watch AppleTV”) with entities and action sequences, but I can’t find a way to add an activity to the remote screen. When I try to add something to a page on the remote, the only options are “add entities” or “Add groups”.
How do I add a “watch Apple TV” activity button that turns on everything as I have them sequenced?
On your main screen on the Web configurator, you see an section called “Customise your remote”. Onthe right side of that title you find a button to maximize the section.
Do that, and you will find where to add your activity to the main screen of the remote.
Your activities are considered entities, i.e. when you click on “add entities“ your activities are included in the list of available entities.
Ok, thank you. I see them at the bottom of the entities list. I think it’s confusing that you create “activities“ and then they are included with the “entities“. There needs to be “add activities“ button on the edit contents tab.
Were you able to create your “actions”.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I have been struggling with this for weeks

Hope this helps Ralf
Thanks. I have basically tried that. Will do so again
When I tried clicking it nothing turned on. If they were on, nothing turned off
So I configured the on/off sequences. The web page says to go to user interface, but the U3 web configurator page for user interface appears totally different
Trying the remote and clicking watch ATV gives error:”Invalid remote-entity options: ir output missing”
So checking the devices the LG has options for Infrared.
The Denon does not.
Did you really create a start and end sequence?
Perhaps start easy only with a TV activity only with a TV added to that activity.
Start sequence
Switch on TV
End sequence
Switch off TV
Start simple to understand the logic.
Hope that helps Ralf
Yes. Absolutely. Is there a way to post a screenshot??
Yes. When you reply in the dialog box there is a ‘picture’ upload icon at the top. Select this and attach your screenshot.
I have a similar setup to you. You have a number of issues with this on / off sequence. Looks like 2 different LG entities (is one IR?), you need to configure ON/OFF commands separately even if they use the same IR code. If possible I would suggest using the IP integrations for all of your devices instead of IR. You have no command to turn on or off the ATV. So you can see what I mean here is my ATV Activity Sequence.
The first entry (Lounge) is my for my ATV.
So instead of “Toggle on or off” I should use the Switch ON option
The sequences I have shown in my screenshot work for me and are reliable.
Thank you.
Do you know if it is possible to add an activity/macro or another way to select any of the streaming services on an Apple TV (Netflix; Disney+; Paramount, etc)
Yes I do that too. On the UI screen for your ATV activity add a button and in the Command Box select Input Souce (for your ATV) and then select the Source e.g. Netflix.
