November 5, 20232 yr comment_31592 Hi, I really want to love this remote, but there seems to be some fundamental issues with even a simple configuration: Samsung TV Apple TV on HDMI1 Kodi Odroid Box on HDMI2 Activity A: Samsung TV + Kodi Box Activity B: Samsung TV + Apple TV I've tried everything, but I can find no way to simply switch between Kodi and Apple TV without the TV having to go through a power cycle to pass between activities. I have tried removing the TV Power on / off / Power toggle from Activity B and sure, that allows me to send an HDMI2 command when I press the off button (But I'm not really turning off), then I have to press Activity A, to switch back to the Kodi activity commands. Power Off can then only be done from Activity A. Am I missing something? What I expect is that Power On / Off turns on / off the whole 'set' of equipment, irrespective of what activity I want to use. The Activity Buttons in my mind ought to also be programmable to Turn on devices and select the right inputs, it shouldn't be a two step [Activity A] >> [Power On] Looking forward to some advice / maybe software updates - as it stands, "Wife Acceptance Factor" is standing at ZERO and this remains a weekend hobby.

November 5, 20232 yr comment_31593 The simplest way is to use a redundant button ( say 1 or 2) and program it to switch the HDMI and power off the unwanted device and power on the other. then you need to press A or B to get the right control functions. If you do this for both activities then you can simply switch between the 2 . Power on/off will only turn on/off the devices assigned to A or B, so by turning off the un wanted source, you will keep everything in sync. It takes a while to unlearn the way your previous device works, but I like the way selection of A/B/C is independent of the power button, but does control what the power button will do. Report

I’m absolutely confident you have a winner with this hardware if you can just smooth the user (wife) experience. Remember, this product is all about the daily / hourly use not the 4 - 6 hours of time spent in the config app. Report
