Current Device List and Manual Importing


Recommended Posts

Current Device List

SkipApp - Device List.csv is a consolidated device list of SkipApp our supported devices. One thing to note, there are more categories here than in our current app. We consolodate these, and overlap some devices. So some might show up in A/V and Audio. To distinguish, we have added the category in parenthesis to our device list:

In the SkipApp, the Misc. Category contains everything.

Manually Importing a device

For now, the only way to import a device is to enable our Admin Mode. Do so with the following:

Mac Instructions:

In a terminal: echo  -e "{\n \"showAdminPanel\": true\n}" > ~/.config/SkipApp/config.json

Windows Instructions:

Copy the config.json to the following location: %localappdata%\Packages\SkipApp_sddpyax1dmvqm\LocalState\

If done properly, you will see the admin tab:

File Format

The next thing you'll need is a comma delimited text file and the pronto codes.

The text file name gives us the Device, and Category. You can put a device in multiple categories:

File Name: Brand-Model-Type1#Type2#...#TypeN.txt, where Type must be one of these values:

TV, SetTopBox, Audio, AV, Games, PC, Home, Misc

Example: Samsung-SN112024-AV#PC.txt

The content is a comma delimited file where we give the name, and the pronto code. For example;

CURSOR UP, 0000 006D 0014 0000 00BC ....
CURSOR DOWN, 0000 006D 0014 0000 00BC ....

Add this to the app Admin/Brands Tab with the Add button. Once done, you're device will show up in the app's wizard for you to assign buttons. Please share devices here and I will include them in the software for the community.

Further Information

There is an additional file format that I will document later that supports other types of code formats. Including a raw encoding, NEC, etc.

You can find Pronto codes across the internet.  This will get much easier over time. We will support learning in the software, and a direct way to share with the community.

I have a Yamaha RX V-1000 AV receiver, which is not in the database, and I followed the directions above but when I went to import, I get an error saying the format is invalid.  I noticed in the Admin panel that the expected format is a json file. I believe I have a properly formatted file and when I found a relevant forum post I believe my format is correct.

What am I missing with my file? I have attached what I found and here is where I got the codes.

This is a fantastic product and I cannot wait to start using it with my devices. Thank you and the team for all the hard work.

Well this is silly, looks like it needs to be upper case hex codes. Here is a vim expression that should work: %s/"0000,\(.*\)"/"0000,\U\1"/g  

Here is a fixed json attached. 

Let me know if this works with your device. I'll add it to the database. I will also make it so import converts to uppercase automatically. And thank you for the positive feedback, really means a lot.

I was able to successfully test power on, power off, mute, volume up, and volume down. I made a couple of changes to the json file to properly label the power functions and added a devices.av type.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback, I'll include this in the next release.

If I am equipped with a Harmony IR remote, a FLIRC USB IR receiver and a Skip 1s, is there any way for me to either export pronto codes from harmony or its software, or use the FLIRC IR receiver to capture and give me the pronto codes for a button press?

Hi
Just ordered a Skip as a hopeful replacement for my Harmony Elite.
Installed the app to get ready.

First hurdle - 2 of my devices are not in the list

Yamaha HTR-2071 a/v amp
Manhattan TR-3 Freeview Play recorder

help appreciated and looking forward to testing when I get the Skip
