pyrodex Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 I had my Flirc 1S working fine but noticed now my AppleTV doesn’t power on with the same setup after upgrading to tvOS 17. Nothing changed and it worked fine prior to that but now the tv powers up like normal but not the AppleTV. If I hit the home button it wakes up but the Power On/Off IR commands don’t work anymore. I checked this morning and confirmed I’m on the latest everything for the remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the work around for powering on but what about powering off? These IR commands worked prior to tvOS 17 so is Flirc going to relearn them or just ignore it?

But just turn of the TV, appletv detects this via HDMI and turns itself off. If not, by default after a few minutes of inactivity it goes to sleep anyways.

Benjamin Metzler Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) I just realized there isn't an option to press and hold in a macro, so this won't work. I got it in my head that the "delay" option for buttons was "hold". My mistake. This should be an option for cases like this though :-). That said, with tvOS 17.1, I am able to power off with the discrete code offered in the skip 1s Apple TV code set. You can "force" a power off by creating a macro for the Apple TV that: Press TV button for 2 seconds Wait a second to give it time to come up fully Press select (Power Off should be selected by default) The basic idea is to open the Control Center on the Apple TV (image below) and select the power off tile.
