Newbie Assistance

Finally got around to checking this out. I was able to successfully upload to code to R2, but as far as I can tell, the Bluesound Node does not respond. I’ll reach out to them for a code set, but IR is challenging given the way I mounted the device in my media cabinet. I needed an excuse to play with Home Assistant, this might be it. Thx!

Hey Markk…

IR formats are new (and a mystery) to me. Do I just copy and paste into an Excel spread sheet and save as a .csv file? Is the header ‘manufacturer… … … code’ included? When uploading is the ‘delimiter’ field left blank or populated with a " , " as with Pronto codes?

Thx

“,” doesn´t do it for me. I have to use “;” as a delimiter in web-configurator for some reason.

Your excel should look like this and be saved as .csv There are maybe several ways to do this but I use to copy all text from for example Globalcache into Notes and save. Import data as “from text/csv”, get rid of unnecessary columns and rows with “transform data”. When you´re happy save as .csv

Hey greggo,

I’m not a professional either, when it comes to these IR formats. But I can let you see what the cvs-file I got from the remote 2 looks like when opened in a text-editor:

Thanks, I’m running Excel on a Mac and my “Data” layout looks doesn’t have the same ribbon header as yours (ie no reference for Text/CSV or Transform Data button). I’ll need to spend some time, but I should be able to figure it out…

Thank goodness for ‘copy-and-paste’. Should be able to get either your learned or Lurifuxx’s GlobalCache codes in somehow. Not urgent and again gives me the excuse to spend some time learning IR technology :slight_smile:

Thanks Markk… Codes work perfectly, just had a hard time creating the .csv file without introducing errors… Would love it if BlueOS would create an AppleTV app for navigation. My new crusade :slight_smile:

glad to hear :wink:

from what I know best is not to use excel or similar programs… as these sometimes add additional code
