Antony Criddle Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 I have had the skip1s remote for a couple of days now.I bought it because I’m a long time user of harmony, but am increasingly worried about the server being shut down, so I looked at different options and decided to try skip1s. So far things I like, the remote itself, feels good in the hand, looks good and the app is good.I can’t wait for the A,B & C buttons to actually power up and change activities, something like harmony does, hopefully this update isn’t too far away.Keep up the good work, it’s and excellent product and it has great possibilities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can select the devices when setting up of the A, B or C buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Zaparti Posted Saturday at 09:46 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 09:46 PM I'd love an explanation of how Power on and Power off are supposed to work. I set them up the way I would think they would work: I have power on power on my TV and receiver, but it does nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.Verbrugge Posted Sunday at 03:51 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 03:51 PM (edited) Did you press one of the A, B or C buttons and the the power on? The power on/off depends on what you setup under A, B or C. Edited Sunday at 03:51 PM by P.Verbrugge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homehandyman Posted Sunday at 04:22 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 04:22 PM Nice physical device that does not do much unfortunately. Cant change channels on dish. Does not change inputs. Hoping for improvement over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The power on/off depends on what you setup under A, B or C. I did, yeah. I have 3 activities, and each one involves the TV and receiver. By default, the power button for each device is "Power toggle", but I'm concerned the devices can become out of sync, like if one of them goes to sleep. Don't want to get in a state of toggling them to have one be on and the other off. So then I tried putting each device's "Power on" button in the Power on action, and likewise for off. But like I said, these actions don't do anything. Could be my device mappings? I have an LG C1 tv and I picked the first LG TV button set. /shrug Edited Sunday at 05:27 PM by Pete Zaparti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't forget. Is the TV going to sleep in power saving mode or something to get it out of sync? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I configured the power on/off macros with "TV Power On" instead of toggle for that specific reason, so that even if the remote fell out of sync with the state of the devices it shouldn't screw it up by powering off something I'm trying to power on. Unfortunately, the remote seems to have a terrible memory for states. Powering on an activity works fine but then if I try to power off the same activity an hour later (without switching activities at all), it still tries to power on instead of powering off. I have to press the power button a second time to get the power off sequence. I have no idea why the remote forgets it powered on the activity so quickly and I'm really disappointed in that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m experiencing the same issue, if I’m on an activity, ie watching bt vision, under button a, everything powers on, but if I want to power off the devices, the tv remains on and throws things out of sync Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should not be the case. @jason seems we have a firmware issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
