I'm not sure what you mean. You're saying that the programming tool that no one will part with, is basically a notepad that you program directly with HEX and Serial code and other low level programming. I'm sure there's more to it, but the answer gives me this picture. In case you can only program in this rather low level programming code, I understand that you need help to program them. I think it's pretty weird that you can't use more commonly used high level programming languages and other helpful tools in the program.
If much low level code is indeed needed, this leaves this option pretty much dead in my case. I programmed a simple CPU with binary and hex 12 years ago. And that's it. I know some VB.net, C++ and powershell. I guess this will not help me much.
I can not understand that nobody have created a remote with IR/Wifi/RF, touch and hard buttons and macro abilities, without the need for an intricate setup with control boxes. With a simple and intuitive program activity and button setup, and custom programming options for the needy.
I guess I just have to continue dreaming, and hope for better products in the next few years.
Why not create your own remote, own software, own processor? The truth is that Total Control was never the right solution for you. It is NOT available to end users, period. In fact, it is not even available to dealers that purchase through distribution. So unless you are a direct dealer that attended training, you do not have access to the hardware or software. Researching it to program on your own is just wasted time on your part. I am not saying this to be mean, but pointing out that your efforts will be better served searching for a different system if you wish to program on your own.
