Weatherman Posted October 17, 2023 Report Posted October 17, 2023 Hi, Am I able to select one of my devices whilst watching TV? I might wish to access settings on my Yamaha Amp or on my TV, for example to select a different audio decryption, Surround to Dolby+ or 7 channel stereo. Thanks Quote
Benjamin1971 Posted October 19, 2023 Report Posted October 19, 2023 You can add that device to your activity and then map a button to the settings. Quote
Uzi2 Posted October 20, 2023 Report Posted October 20, 2023 The buttons are mapped by activity not device, so you would need a separate activity with buttons mapped to the functions you would require. It would most likely be impossible to cover all controls of the amp, so you would need to choose a favourites subset. With only A,B and C, we don't have enough buttons to do this at present, but more are promised. Hopefully a double press and a long press to provide A1,A2 etc. giving 9. The fact that they are independent of the power button would be a great advantage for this use case and would provide a feature not possible with Harmony. Quote
Weatherman Posted October 23, 2023 Author Report Posted October 23, 2023 Maybe there needs to be buttons for each device. On my One For All smart Five there are 5 device buttons and 3 activity buttons, so you can switch between as you wish Quote

If not, I don't see a why to use this remote now, does't matter if in the future they add long press or double press to have more activity that is dumb to do every time. Quote
Benjamin1971 Posted November 4, 2023 Report Posted November 4, 2023 I appreciate the simplicity of this universal remote (which is incredibly close to my "dream remote"). It works well for me in managing primary activities such as "Watch TV" or "Play a Game." It handles the essential tasks like navigation, power, volume, and play/pause for these major activities, which typically make up 99% of my remote usage. This keeps things simple for me and my family. For the occasional 1% of unique situations, I resort to using the original remote. Ben 1 Quote
