My remote has hardly been working for the past 1–2 weeks.
“It says: ‘There is an error in the sequence.’”
I always use “TV on” and “TV off” to start or shut down all devices.
The setup includes a projector screen controlled via infrared, a Denon receiver, an Apple TV, and an Epson projector. Philips Hue lights are turned off at the end.
Up until about two weeks ago, there were occasional issues. Then mostly only “TV off” stopped working (with the same devices), and for the past 2–3 days, “TV on” has also failed in 8 out of 10 cases.
When starting an activity you should see step x of y and x might give you a hint. If you configure the activity are all added entities ok or has one an error?
In the past, I occasionally had the issue that a specific step wouldn’t be executed, for example with the Hue lights. I then removed them and instead integrated a lighting scene via Home Assistant. That worked afterwards.
I also assigned a static IP address to all involved devices, which has solved many problems in the past, when the scene stopped on a step.
However, right now the error message appears immediately, without referencing any specific step.
When turning things on, the first command sent is an IR signal for the projector screen. When turning things off, other commands are executed first. That’s why yesterday I also moved the IR command to the first position for turning off (it works when turning on). But that didn’t improve anything.
You should create a ticket on GitHub and include the core and hue integration logs right after the error appears. Are you maybe using the old round v1 hue bridge? This is not supported anymore with the updated hue integration.
He just got stuck on the IR command. “TV on” worked fine—everything responded. After the movie, “TV off” doesn’t work. Step 1, the screen, doesn’t respond.
