How do I add a multi digit channel on a Channel widget

I’m trying to create a page on my watch TV activity with my most used channels icons. How do I set up an IR sequence with multiple digit channel numbers. I learnt buttons for the numbers with names 1,2,3,.. etc. I thought I read that I could build a sequence with the button commands separated, by commas and specify a delay between each button press.

You need to select the IR sequence command for your device and then separate the IR commands you want to combine with a comma. E.g. on my Sky Q receiver the IR sequence for channel 15 would be: DIGIT_1,DIGIT_5

Thanks for the response @heimspielvier. That’s what I had read, but as I type the comma, the field went red, which I incorrectly assumed meant an error. As soon as i put in the second number button the command field was happy. Thank you very much for taking the time to help.

I’ve found that creating a macro for each channel (with delays between each number press) is more reliable.

Thanks @harvey28. I did try that, but how then would you associate the macro with channel icon?

@harvey28, apologies for my ignorance, but I don’t see a ‘Run’ Command in my dropdown

Macros are entities and must be added to the activity, then you can select a macro as a button on the display. Macro has another advantage not all integrations have the option with command sequence, like Android TV, and then you must use a macro.
