I love Yatse, but maybe I have a “problem” that more users have: I still need to switch on the TV and/ or amplifier with another remote (or worse: walk to the device and switch it on manually!)…
The problem is not the IR function it’s the code database
90% of Android devices with IR blaster only works one way so can’t be used to learn codes. Meaning without a full proper IR code database it’s quite complicated to propose something end user ready.
Ok. Clear. I thought it would be less complicated and more standardised. …
Pffff. Then I will continue to walk to the amplifier to switch it on. I refuse to install an ugly app next to Yatse just to power it up! Is that what you call a power walk?
What device and android version do you have? And is your device you want to control somewhere on that site: http://www.remotecentral.com/ with pronto codes ?
alternative route: work back from the sony remotes (they have their own product codes):
I found that the remote RM-ADU078 (ean 8006023442805) is compatible with RM-ADU138 (ean 7091231774344), so maybe that will give me some other sony DVD /theatre devices that have listed IR codes…
@msxbas your devices does not support CEC?
I had the same issue. After some hours of thinking and configuration (trial and error) I found the perfect setup with CEC (via amp, TV set, Kodi on Odroid) and Yatse.
Imagine, my TV set and amp are off. When my boy opens Yatse, found a TV show and hits the play button → all the devices and the movie are starting directly and the boy enjoys the show.
Thanks for the reply eusi, I will investigate the CEC standards, although there is no direct HDMI connection between Kodi and the home Cinema (DAC audio comes through a mini-jack line-in connection).
Both kodi and home Cinema are connected with HDMI to the TV, but I am not sure if my current Libreelec supports audio on both HDMI AND DAC simultaneously…
