We have a lot of work to do on it, it is alpha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only about 10-15% of the buttons are working on my MECool KM2 Plus with the existing MECool model that you do have there. Lots of buttons are just missing as well ( channel up & channel down for example ) Edited November 21, 2023 by Turbine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Metzler Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Out of curiosity, which buttons are working and which are not? Side note, someone on the Flipper Zero IR DB has uploaded an Mecool IR file at: https://github.com/Lucaslhm/Flipper-IRDB/blob/main/Streaming_Devices/Mecool/Mecool_KM6.ir Not sure how difficult it is to convert to Skip 1s format though.

Well it's not. Only the mecool one from the database is there when I edit buttons Or maybe it's just added some more buttons to this one. But no channel up & channel down :/ Edited November 22, 2023 by Turbine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 Pretty tuff for me to figure out without a remote or device. But maybe I we can try and reverse engineer it. Let me look at the protocol or come up with a way for you to cycle through different commands until we find the one we need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your kind help VERY much appreciated The database is very lean.. But I do have my other devices remote so I can teach it. ( Onkyo TX-NR609 for exeample or TCL C645 ) This one - the remote is missing and I hope I can get it to work with this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Metzler Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 I used my Flipper Zero to capture some codes from the Skip 1s with the Mecool configuration. I have the sample code from here to generate a Flipper Zero IR file (attached) that increments through the possible codes, resulting in 255 codes. This won't work directly with the Skip 1s, but @jason might be able to build a Skip 1s json for testing. I don't have a Mecool unit so I can't test it to know if it will work or not, but it might be worth a try. demo.ir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I removed the entries already in the previous config since we already know their assignment. There is no quick way to test these other than assigning them in the gui.

Benjamin Metzler Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 I would have left the previous entries to ensure that the flipper generated actually worked with the Skip 1s. Based on my (limited) experience, if a code exists, it tends to be in the lower range of the numbers. It will be a lot of work though. @Turbine if you don't see things happening on the Mecool at the lower numbers, it could be my generated codes are wrong. The only way to find out is to test. You can copy the entry to a button and then use the test option in the button menu. Mines greyed out because I don't have the remote attached.

They are identical with different labels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
