I have been working on this for days!!! I have got so
many tv's dvd players, karaoke machines and sat. receivers
that are not listed codes that I had to manually program
them into the Nevo. (probably becuase most of these just
came out). Everything works fine when I have it set to
turn on my tv... cable box turn on, receiver turns on,
tv turns on BUT when I wanna switch to watch a dvd...rather
than keeping the tv on and receiver on...it turns it all
off! I know this is because I have the remote set to turn
it on and since there is no separate "code" to turn these
things of... the remote thinks that it is turning it off!
If there are devces like mine that seems to have only
one button for power on/off (nothing about it on the mfr.
sites) how do I set it for nevo to leave certain things
on when needed to or to turn them off? Please... any help
will be GREATL appreciated!
I have the same issue but have accepted that there is no solution with my current audio equipment. All future purchases will have discrete on/off codes so that you can confidently include an 'on' command in a macro and know that you are not turning the item off. I know it's possible to present questions on the Nevo i.e. "Is the amp already on"? and then take appropriate action - but it's just too many button presses to execute what could be a simple macro.
NB The new NC-50 has a voltage sensor available and supports 'if, then' programming. This may be able to tell if an item is on standby or switched on and then act accordingly.
