Am I missing something? I'm relatively new to RTI remotes and I'm having trouble with playing sounds in macros. I have a remote that needs to control multiple TV's in one room that are connected to cable boxes in a closet. Using flags, I have programmed a single button (i.e. the guide button) to control the functions on 3 different boxes. What I would like to have happen is when the button controls Cable box A, have it play one sound, when it's controlling cable box B, have it play another sound and so on. I had planned on putting the sound with the command in the macro (embedded amongst a bunch of check and set flag commands). The trouble is that unless the button is in standalone mode, I cannot embed a sound in the macro. If the button is in standalone mode will the remote emit only IR or will it emit the RF and just not the trigger code? Thanks for any help!!!

two things.why dont you make 3 pages, one for each cable box then you dont have to deal with the flags. or you can create system macros on the RP6 for each button then set your remote button to standalone and include a system macro trigger.
A quick heads up though flags are device specific IE the rp6 has a flag 1 and so does the remote

Any commands you want to trigger (RF) on the processor while the remote is in standalone must be contained in a system macro on the processor. Even a single command... just create a system macro for each command, and select it in your macro on the remote.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. |
