Official Logitech Harmony One thread - Page 83

i believe there's an option to completely reset the harmony. have you tried this? maybe it's choking on either an update or a command.

Have you tried adding the power command to the end of the activity?

That is the workaround that I am currently doing. It's just a lot of extra work. For each activity, I have to add "Power On", then multiple delays (trying to shorten it as much as I can) and then resend the correct input to the TV. I also changed the initial delay after the ineffective initial power up to "0 sec" since it's not powering up anyways.

Will it work? Yes. But I shouldn't have to do all this (especially since it worked before) so it's VERY frustrating...

Yes when you have several devices all with different power up delays and different delays for accepting more commands it sometimes takes a one-time tweaking to get it working and more tweaking if you want to optimize total time to execute them. It still beats using a whole array of remotes though.

I would start with basics. Create an activity that just turns on the TV and does nothing else see if that works. If that works consistently and then adding devices starts causing problems then I would say the delays are not properly set. If the TV is set to turn on first during an activity I would think that would eliminate any power up issues caused by inter-device delays.

Which one of my delays needs to be re-tweaked?

I can send a rapid command of 4-10 individual clicks of volume to my Denon 3808 and when I'm done sending the commands you can watch the 3808 still catching up with the commands.

Same happens when I scroll through the guide On my TWDVR, if I click say 4-8 times it keeps on executing the commands after I'm done.

This is not the hold down volume or channel change which goes into hyper speed but singular punch/clicks to fine tune the volume or when scrolling/changing channels etc.

On the factory remotes, I can click/punch as fast as I want and the 3808 or TWDVR keeps time with the speed of my commands....unlike the catching up of the H-1.

I've played with all the delays and repeats but I'm not sure which one address my annoying problem....

That was a good idea.

I set up a TV activity only. When you start that activity, the only thing that happens is that the TV is supposed to power on.

I start the activity. Nothing. I go through the help buttons, and the TV will power on. I power off without difficulty. I start the same activity immediately and it works like it should. I try the same thing later in the day, and nothing.

I also set the Power on command as the first command for all activity. Didn't help.

The remote knows the correct command since it does eventually turn on the TV and briefly remembers how. But the old problem keeps coming back.

I have now completed the work around. 6 activities now have TV Power On-6 second delay-TV input command at the end of the original power up sequence. It works, but it's all redundent info and I shouldn't have to do it.

Any other ideas as to what may be wrong?

Did you use the all off button prior to start Activity ever time? If not the remote thinks the TV is already on since it knows the state of all devices at all times.

I use the select activity button to start, and to change activities. I use the power off button to shut it all off. I never use other remotes or malually turn devices on/off.

This is a problem whether I just use 1 activity or a dozen before powering off...

Can't find one. The remote does get a reboot with every update.

hmm, you're right. i can't find one either. the only thing i see is the ability to force a firmware update, which it says to do only if you're having problems with the remote. if you have the latest fw, i'm not sure what good this would do...

I'm getting crazy frustrated with this - so I have my PS3IR-PRO and I tried mapping the harmony keys to the way I wanted it to run the ps3. When I update the remote, however, the buttons are not mapped the way I wanted them to be. The buttons on the harmony screen are completely different from what I set them to be. It doesn't make any sense. It saves them correctly in my settings but doesn't save them correctly to the remote! Am I stupid? Anybody experience this problem?

When I called CS yesterday, they did confirm that all software and firmware was the most up to date.

Oh well, I've completed the work-arounds. It was a lot more work then it should have been, but it is working fine, and nobody would know by using it that there was an issue.

This is the second glitch that CS was unable to explain (for awhile, the PS3 activity kept turning on my DVD as well (yes, both are sony). It has now fixed itself for no apparent reason. Any more glitches and I may exchange this thing...

I had one-time change to add a command to get one of my Ones working correctly too. Then I got over it.

The One is a very glitchy and tempermental unit. I finally got mine working, but with a lot of unnecessary workarounds and frustrating glitches.

This is something that should work much more smoothly...

Only other idea would be to increase the number of repeats for the TV commands.

How do I do that for the initial power up?

I had the same issue as you when I set mine up originally. I sync'd it multiple times...it was driving me crazy!

Then I realized I was customizing buttons under the "Device" tab in the software instead of the "Activities" tab. I felt like an idiot!

A quick way to see if that's what you were doing is to use your remote and go to devices. Find your PS3IR-PRO and see if the buttons are arranged the way you were setting them. If so, you were under "Devices" when you were customizing them.

Guys,

My Harmony One is working great so far. Thanks to this thread, I've been able to customize Icons, use discreet commands and all the good stuff.

One question remains..The activity called "Watch TV" has nice Icons "A", B" and "C" that uses SetTop box's A, B and C buttons.

I also have an activity "Watch TV on HT", where I Watch TV using my Home Theatre setup. I can setup new custom buttons but am unable to find how I can get the same colorful A, B and C Icons which are defined n "Watch TV" activity. Any ideas?

Plus, Anyone using a screenprotector for the touch screen? Where to find one?

Sorry if this has been asked a milion times already..BUT the harmony one software I only see favorite channel images for a bunch of Fox channels and nothing else. Am I doing something wrong? I'm sure there are sites to get these images. Any good ones out there?


Thanks.

Check here. They are free and fantastic...

Awsome, Thanks

I THINK THATS THE ANSWER!!!!

I had lowered it from 3 to 1 since the volume was jumping too quickly.

I just changed it from 1 to 2 and the TV came on properly! The volume still works fine.

Will try it out more tomorrow. If it works, I can kill the rest of my needless commands.

Thanks! I knew there had to be an answer!

Perhaps the unit is not so glitchy after all.

Please....

Check out post #4 in this thread. It explains what all of the delays do.

Also, depending on what devices you may have someone might have already posted the best delays for you.

Maybe not. Just frustrating when CS can't come up with an answer, pushes an answer that is clearly wrong, and then I have to come up with all kinds of work arounds when there was a straightforward solution.

BINGO
