Smart Activity Switching help

Featured Replies

Hello,

First of all, I really like the remote. It has replaced (for the most part) my dying Harmony One. I do have one issue I'd appreciate some help with. The Smart Activity Switching is not working very well with my (older) Sony receiver (STRDG-920).

For whatever reason, I needed to make all of the receiver commands repeat at least 3 times, or they would not be recognized. This works fine when I initially turn an activity on (the receiver turns on, and the proper input is selected). However, when I switch to a different activity, most of the time, the input switch does not work (it only worked a handful of times in the last 6+ months). Is it because the Smart Activity Switching does not take the command repeat into account (I tried looking at the JSON file but could not find anything related in it)? If that's not the case, any ideas on how to fix it? Thank you.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I tried changing the device order of the power on/off sequences, as well as different delay values.

Mike,

Thank you for the kind words, means a lot.

It should actually honor the delays and repeats in your button as if it were not doing the switch at all. So if you were to turn off the smart activity switch, and then power down the first activity, power up the second activity, does it work?

Attach your config, I'll load it on my remote and play with it.

Thanks for your reply (and I apologize for the delay in mine).

The remote works as intended (the input on the receiver changes properly) when powering down one activity and then powering up a different one. It's only when the Smart Activity Switching is on and I try to switch to a different activity without powering down the first one, then the receiver does nothing. The other components behave as expected, but they do not require their commands to be repeated to function properly.

I'm attaching the exported config. I'd appreciate your hep with this. Thank you.
