I’ve set up Sky Q in the Living Room and it works great. I’m trying to set it up in the Bedroom but I can’t get it quite right. The Living Room Sky Q I set up as an IR device and I’m sure I read that you can’t have 2 devices that are the same but I tried and sure enough it didn’t work. So I set it up using Home Assistant and whilst it works to a point there is a lot of functionality missing.
Anyone got any solutions?
I’m not sure, but I assume it wouldn’t be a problem controlling the other Sky Q box since it would have the same IR codes. Where are you sending the IR codes from?
Are you sending IR codes direct from the remote? Or is is configured to send all IR codes from dock?
If you’re using SkyQ integration in HA, you’ll need to create some scripts to trigger the controls from the integration. Then you can add the scripts to the remote and assign to buttons as required.
You must upload the IR codes for the Sky Q twice and configure for instance 1 to send via Dock and the other one send via Remote if you activate this feature in settings preview features. Last year I controlled several Samsung TV via IR.
Rename each of the IR remote you uploaded so that you know which you configured for which room.

Thanks to both of you. It is now working beautifully
