    I have had some similar experiences. I have macros on three of the color buttons that shut off a box and switch to another HDMI, then I would press the new activity key, then do the same color button to power on the box for the new activity. I think I went a little too quick pressing the activity button before the macro had finished and the remote locked up. If I make sure to wait until the LEDs stop before continuing my sequence, it seems okay.

    That seems to be my issue as well. I don't think it was a problem until I updated my config a few weeks back, and at that point the firmware and app were several versions behind.

  2. My remote seems to be locking up when the power button is pressed multiple times within a short period of time. I then have to remove the batteries, wait a few seconds, and then put them back in.

    I think that this may be due to the macros. I have a macro to send a power on command to the device and change the input on the receiver and one that sends the power off command and also changes the receiver input.

    I have attached my configuration.

    Remote Model SKIP.1S.RELEASE.A06

    Firmware 4.12.13-0-g1393fac

    Skip App 0.9.965.7346 [Nightly]

    Couch Commander 6000.skip

  3. It would be nice to be able to export a PDF or something that details the remote's button layout.

    I feel that certain levels of configuration would be a must, as certain buttons might not need much or any explanation. For example, if the number buttons are mapped to numbers, maybe only a label is needed rather than a separate description for each button.

     

    I think this would help if my layout gets too complex.

  4. What I've seen work on this works pretty well, but I will be honest: I'm paying the early adopter tax. If all goes well I will replace at least three remotes with this, and hopefully four. Currently, I haven't replaced a single one. I need to get my receiver working with it!

  5. I just got my remote today! The software has been a bit buggy but definitely usable.

     

    Some things I have discovered that I would like to share:

    • I'm using an Onkyo TX-SR393 receiver (remote RC-970R). It currently is not supported in Skip App 0.9.4, which isn't a big deal except for input switching.
    • My Blu-Ray Disc player is a Sony BDP-S185 (remote RMT-B118A). The default profile is pretty good, but one issue I discovered is that just having play be the option on the play/pause button removes the ability to pause. Setting the button to send the pause command resolves the issue and the play/pause button acts as expected.
    • I can turn my Xbox One S console on, but am unable to turn it off, at least with the default mapping.

     

    Some day one thoughts:

    • I really think we need the ability to add custom codes. I get that this can cause some complexity, but I'd rather be able to add a custom code and be able to at least use some device functions rather than having to use a separate remote until the device gets added.
    • I'd like to have long-press and double-press commands. For example, pressing the stop button could stop disc playback, but then pressing and holding it could eject the disc.
    • Keep it up! My end goal is to replace at least four remotes with this! My config is well on its way to replacing the TV, Blu-Ray, and Xbox media remotes. The receiver will (obviously) have to come later and once I can have more than three profiles I'll set up one for PC use (likely Jellyfin and/or Kodi) and maybe even see if I can get it working with a VCR.
