I have an activity called “Watch TV.” I also have a macro called “Turn everything off.” When I start the macro, everything turns off, but the TV activity continues to run. Is there any other “programmable” way to stop an activity besides using the power button?
IMHO your issue is in the sequesnce, when you turn off or on an activity the UC remote send all commands at once, to avoid “missed” devices, add some delay between commands in the sequnce. eg as an example: tun off sequesnce: turn off reciever, delay 400ms , turn off TV. etc. try that.
Perhaps I asked the question incorrectly, or misunderstood the whole thing. As I understand it, when an activity starts, it ends when the next activity starts. However, I don’t want to start the next activity, I just want to turn everything off and end the activity that is still running.
No, an activity end when you choose to stop the activity by pressing the physical “power” button.
you can however define an activity group, add all activities there and then move between activities to keep certain devices running. example:
i have a watch TV activity and i have a watch PLEX activity. in both activities my TV will remain on. so when i move from watch TV to watch plex my TV will remain on while all other devices will turn off (as an example).
if i would want to just “turn off watch TV” and have everything Turn Off , i click the pysical power button on the remote and it will. (if i defined the activity power off sequence correctly).
I might not fully understanding your setup/thought but if you share some screenshots might be able to help better.
If you start an activity already running activities are only ended if both activities belong to the same activity group. If you have no activity groups you can have several activities running at the same time.
Add the activity Entity to your macro then in Sequence add the “Switch off” activity command.

Hello ur3
Thank you very much, that works. It’s so easy once you know how to do it 
This solution has worked like gangbusters for me! Thanks for sharing. I have both an Apple TV and Ziggo TV box activity, and I always had the issue of activities staying active even after switching. Adding these two activities to the same group fixed it completely. Now, when I switch between activities on the remote, it behaves just like my old Harmony remote. Excellent—thanks again!
