Power up macro's

I received my remote yesterday and I have been fidling around a bit, but I don't seem able to make macro's work. It will only start the first configured device and do no more after pressing the power button.

For example:

Activity A is "watch TV". First I added the setup box and secondly the TV. This will only start the setup box, no matter the order of the macro. The macro also should change the input selection on the TV, this isn't working either.

Activity B is "streaming". This has only the TV and it will start the TV, but not switch to the home screen as added into the macro.

Activity C is "Watch movie". This has the TV as primary device, and the blu-ray player as the second device. This will start the TV and not the blu-ray. If I remove the TV all together from the power up button macro only then it will start the blu-ray player. Changing the TV input isn't working on this macro either.

If I add all power up buttons or the HDMI selections on a separate button all functions are working fine. So something with the macro setup is the culprit, but I have no clue what it could be. I also tried it with the .10 beta firmware, but this didn't change anything for me.

 

Anybody got any clue how to make the macro's work?

drBunhead, I believe it is the same issue I have been experiencing, too.  Did you happen to try the Test Actions option in the pancake menu on the right side of the Actions modal where you add your Power Up actions?  If the remote is connected that allows you to test running your Power Up and that seems to work for me but when I unplug and push the button it doesn't.

Switching input and turning on devices by activity button is not working! The one thing this thing should do, it can not do.

Hi John, while I appreciate your enthusiasm in posting, please don't push your requests onto unrelated threads. This thread is about a bug when hitting the power button and the second action in the macro doesn't happen. It's not related to your feature request.

@drBunhead yep, it's a known bug with the current beta. We're working on tracking down the problem and posting a fix. In the meantime some users have said changing repeat to 3 fixes the issue.
