I have a weird problem with the power button on the Skip 1s. I've tried to sync various different device-types and all has the problem: When I have assigned a device and test it using Flirc USB, power button does not work. All other buttons transmit something but the power button stays quiet. However I can see the remote light up so it senses that I've pressed the button.

If I test the button from within the Skip app, everything is OK, the receiver get's a code. However not when I press the power button.

Anybody got a clue?

Everything is brand new, got it 2 days ago.

Remote model: Skip.1s.Release.06, firmware: 4.13.9-0-g114437a, app: skip-app_0.9.995+10457, linux

Can you attach your support file? Hold down space bar, click the three dots, and click leave feedback (all while holding spacebar)

I'll take a look.

 

Thanks for returning. I've done it right now but there was no feedback from the program while I did it, thus I'm not sure whether it has send anything?

Does the program anything anywhere? I can't find anything?

Hi again. As I wrote earlier, I used the Linux app to setup everything. (I've been using Linux professionally and as a hobby for almost 35 years, since it came on about a 100 floppies :-) Thus it was the natural choice) I've since tried using the Windows app which came up with a firmware update for the Skip. After the firmware update, the power button started to work, both when programming it from Windows and Linux. The firmware is now 4.14.1-0-gdea1347.

I can't remember whether the Linux app came up with an update or is it possible to manually do an update? I think I did an update at some point. But I may be wrong. Anyway it is working now and yes, the Linux app is experimental :-)  I'm closing this on my part.
