I added a new IR entity for my TV and the default interface and button layout are perfect. When I add that entity to the customise remote screen, it works great. However when I add the entity to an activity to add delays and input changes , the interface is blank. The default layout is not there. Do I have to rebuild it in the activity or is there a way to copy the layout to be used in the activity as well?
You need to add the IR remote entity to your activity.
Then you can map the buttons within the activity. They won’t automatically populate to match the remote mapping.
that’s too bad because it works great if I don’t want it to be part of a sequenced activity - the plain old remote layout is great on the entity screen and it seems odd that I would have to replicate it
You can copy/paste ui pages. But I’m not sure if this works between remote entities and activities.
The remote toolkit from albaintor might offer more possibilities:

Sounds like you need to build your On and Off Sequences first.
This is where you can add delays and define inputs.
You can then define buttons in the Activity so you can change inputs on the fly or whatever.
