I just got the remote and love it. It has been setup and everything works great.

I have one issue though. I want the remote to control my Digital Picture frame as well and I was able to add that to the activities. It controlled it great. The only problem is the power settings, Is there any way to setup the activity so that it wont toggle the power settings of any other devices? Currently on the Digital frame activity, the frame is the only device listed and none other, the remote automatically switches everything off when I push the frame activity button since the default setting is to turn off all the devices that are not on the device list. It will become a problem if we are watching TV and want to turn on the frame- It will turn off everything.

You dont use the POWER button to POWER ON. You use the relevent activity, which knows if the devices are already ON so will not send a Power command.

It will POWER OFF everything set to 'Off when not in use'. You could add all the other devices to the Frame Activity, no need to actually use them.

You can map the Frame POWER button as a command in the Activity using customise Buttons. Hard or Soft buttons can be used , use Additional Buttons for soft.

Actually, the answer is simple - set the frame activity option to "leave unused devices on". This way it won't turn off anything that's already on so you can switch to the frame activity, operate the frame, then switch back to the previous activity and nothing will be changed.

Yes, sorry, I always forget about that option as it seems to me to be in the wrong place!

Access is from Activities Tab, Settings, Change Options.
