Back to the original problem. I think you would be better
served by creating macros on the power page that would
use the power code from the actual device. When you do
a power on macro or power off macro, reference the power
commands from the actual devices instead of from the power
page. Power pages are most useful for human interaction,
if you want one place to access all power commands.
Let us know how you do!
That's basically what I've already done. I just thought it was odd that the command didn't work when copied. But now I see why. It worked before because I was using strictly IR. I've since changed over to RF and I'm sure I lost the IR routing settings you mentioned in your post.
I thought about all this when I did my original configuration and concluded that I should indeed have the power codes for each device on that device's page. But I see now that I also did a little "mixing and matching" and had one or two macros pointing to my power page (which were copied and not macros from the original devices) and some which were macros pointing to the original devices page.
All is well now. Thanks for the explanation Eric. It made me see the error of my ways.
