Hello everybody

When you are assigning the IR codes to a property value, just keep assigning more codes to the value. It will chain the IR codes together and send them as a stream.

And to save you a ton of clicking, if you have property values that are numeric (like channel numbers) and you have assigned IR codes with just numbers (1,2,3, etc.), you can hit the "Assign all Numeric Codes" button and it will auto-assign all of the numeric sequences for you.



Sometimes on a remote you can press an 'enter' button (or something like that) to jump to the channel before it times out and changes after a delay. If you name the IR code 'Enter' it will get appended to the string of IR codes that are assigned with the "Assign all Numeric Codes" button.

If the IR commands are being sent too slowly, you will need to tweak some things to get it right. I think some of the hardware interface plugins have a property that you can set to adjust.



Also using a lower repeat count will increase the speed.



If the IR code was learned poorly, it may be really long making it take longer to send. Try relearning the ones that seem bad. Make sure you hold the remote close to the IR receiver when learning and just press the button once quickly.
