We MUST be able to disable the Touch Slider (Almost blew out my Speakers)

Feature requests

I’ve seen people mention it, but I must re-iterate. IT is a MUST that we can disable the touch Slider.

The idea of adding such a feature to a remote is completely Asinine!
What could possibly go wrong with adding a strip that if touch sets the Volume to 100%

I suspect my touch Strip is defective, as it has NEVER worked. Touching it simply freaks it. If set to control media, it simply skips where ever and forget about using it as volume.

The Integration for Eversolo uses it to control Volume… :person_facepalming:

As you can suspect, I picked up the remove and touched it… Blasting the volume at 1 in the morning.

Luckily, I had set Volume Protection on the Eversolo to limit the Maximum Volume. Had I not, I would have blown out my Speakers. VERY EXPENSIVE Speakers…

This “Feature” is nightmare and we MUST be able to turn it off.

Have you looked in the button assignment for the touch slider? I can select none as function this should mean disabled.

That is only possible if I create an activity.

But when using the device itself, you can’t set anything.
You are stuck with how the device was setup.

Hence why we must be able to have a general disable option.

For now, I did make an activity for it, with only that device, but that introduces another issue. The remote turns off every device regardless if you had set nothing in the off sequence.

So Ideally, I want to only use the device directly.

Take a look at the use of Activity Groups to control if/which devices to be switched off for an activity

I had set this to never turn off, but was still turning off.
I’ve tried “Run modified off-sequence”, same bug.

This in itself would be another request…
Copy basic Harmony features..
Pressing off, should not ask me what device, it should simply execute all turn off sequence. Devices should have options to never be turned off, like we had in Harmony.

But as I said, this is a separate discussion :sweat_smile:

For now, I simply don’t want to wake up my neighbors or blow up my speakers. :rofl:

Indeed we want to keep your speakers in good shape :speaker_medium_volume::speaker_medium_volume:

What if you put the eversolo in its own Activity Group (just create an extra one) and keep the other devices in the group they are in now?

This is not a Harmony and it’s a mistake to think of it in those terms (and to try and emulate a Harmony setup). Infinitely more powerful, flexible, and programmable. It is designed to let you decide how you want it to work, not be limited by the way that Harmony’s devs want you to make it work.

This is a DIY version of a CI remote (URC, Control4, etc). That means you have a steeper learning curve, but get a much better product at the end of the day.
