New User: Sky Stream (UK) IR Issues

General
22

I wonder if that means I ever want to change the ir output I will have to redo the codes?

23

No, just change the IR output. So for instance have a Sky Lounge IR entity with output to dock lounge. Then copy the Sky Lounge IR entity to create a Sky bedroom IR entity with output to bedroom dock

24

Think Iā€™m beginning to understand this. It doesnā€™t like hex commands, which are what it learns. You then have to press the button twice for it to work, odd. Pronto commands work fine. I donā€™t suppose you have pronto commands for channel up and down and menu home?

25

I have Menu Home in Pronto:

MENU HOME 0000 0073 0000 001D 0060 0020 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0020 0010 0020 0020 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0020 0020 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0020 0020 0020 0010 0010 0020 0020 0010 0010 0020 0010 0010 0020 0010 0010 0020 0010 0010 0010 0E10

I had to learn Channel Up and Down so donā€™t have those in Pronto. Make sure that the format in the drop down in the IR Code box is set to Hex for Hex codes. Hex Codes should work fine. Iā€™ll have a look to see if I can find Channel Up and Down in Pronto.

26

You might be right there as initially all the Sky codes were HEX after I had to ā€œlearnā€ them all. Had to press each key twice to get it to work. Once I used the Pronto codes everything worked normally.

I think my Channel Up and Channel down commands might actually be mapped onto Direction Up and Direction Down as the Sky Stream remote doesnā€™t actually have any Channel Up Channel Down buttons

28

Yeah Iā€™ve done the same. All working

did anybody figure out a easy way to start apps like for example the BBC iPlayer on the remote 3 using the sky stream ?

30

yup that is what I also did

31

Hi, is it possible to copy an entity and rename it? Trying to add the sky stream from other rooms. Thanks

32

No but if it is IR you can simply add a new IR entity with the same codes and rename them according to the room. Remember to select the correct IR output device/port.

Thatā€™s a pain, so I need to rebuild the interface etc?

34

Didnā€™t take too long, thanks for the help. 2 more bedrooms to go!

Hey - thanks for this. Iā€™ve just copied the lot into my Remote 3 web configurator as you described. I tested the power on/off when I first entered it and it seemed to work from the web config. But now that Iā€™ve entered all the rest nothing seems to work. I press ā€œTest codeā€ and it says ā€œcode testing okā€. But nothing happens to the Sky box itself. And nothing works from the remote. Itā€™s a shame the IR learning function doesnā€™t appear to work for Sky.

I have a similar problem with my Arcam AVR30. The Remote 3 learnt the IR codes for that. They all function perfectly in test mode from the web config. But they donā€™t work at all from the remote itself. Very frustrating!

36

Hi @sammyh25 . How did you learn the IR codes? I tried with my Sky stream puck remote, but nothing happened. Iā€™ve since been told that the Sky Stream remote works over bluetooth (and you canā€™t - as far as I can tell - pair Remote 3 with the Sky box). That and trying to get my Arcam AVR to work are driving me mad!

I donā€™t have Sky Stream, but hope these links help.

38

On the remote press and hold the ā€˜4ā€™ and ā€˜6ā€™ buttons together for three seconds to switch the remote to use IR. Press and hold the ā€˜1ā€™ and ā€˜3ā€™ buttons together for three seconds to switch the remote to use Bluetooth

39

Ah - handy, thanks!

Even after I learnt all the commands thewy wouldnā€™t work properly as you had to press them twice to get them to work. I eventually copied and pasted the codes in that fbutler kindly provided ion post 3 of this thread.

The only issue I have now is the Home button isnā€™t correct as it seems to work as a back button and I havenā€™t been able to find the correct code that immediately takes you back to the Home Menu of Sky Stream in one go.

This pronto code works for home for me:

0000 0073 0000 001D 0060 0020 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0020 0010 0020 0020 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0020 0020 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0010 0020 0010 0010 0020 0020 0020 0020 0010 0010 0020 0010 0010 0020 0010 0010 0020 0010 0010 0010 0E10
