[Q] Does the IR remote support "Activities"

---

Hi,
Does anyone know if the ir remote app supports macros(aka: Activities).
If you are aquainted with the Harmony remotes you know what I'm talking about.
E.g. Activity "Watch TV" would do:
1.Turn TV on
2.Turn Set Top Box on
3. Set correct TV input
4. etc. etc...

Another thing, and sorry if this has been answered already.. Can we also control PS3 with the remote app?

Hi,

I have a harmony remote too, but there's currently no option in the tablet remote software to set up events (switch on tv, switch on amp, turn tv channel to hd1, for example). It's a straight remote control app. Hopefully this might change in future updates?

The ps3 uses bluetooth, and this remote is infra-red, so this native app cant control it. Maybe through an iv-bluetooth decoder, but not straight from the box.

No. The remote software is the simplest remote function. It does not support activies.

I read somewhere though that you can have it learn the macro when you use the learning feature. It can learn the commands from your remote, and it was mentioned that macro can be learned as well. Will test it later on tonight....

Any luck with this?

I found this workaround on the US Sony Forum.

Still need to check it out myself.

Sorry can not post URL (just yet)

Grtz

I was also disappointed that it didn't recognise my Panasonic Air Conditioner Ir remote.

In this day and age it's also amazing that it doesn't have a link to an online library of remotes people have already taught it...

Any devs out there... that's my wish list... oh yeah maybe a night vision app that uses the IR as a night light

The remote can learn any sort of remote cntroller. I've used the tablet to learn my York Air-con and my fan. It works for both of them.It takes time to learn the remote function. You have to try several times.

Its the best tablet so far.
