Make sure you are truly using the latest Smartremote-sample downloaded template.
Which means, download it, and then back up your custom (if you modified it) smartremote template. Then rename smartremote-sample to smartremote.
Try this.
If that works, then cautiously add back your custom web pages into the smartremote folder until it breaks. Then you know what broke it.

I am on the very latest template (downloaded it again just to be sure, even though per Dashboard it was already latest version).  Same behaviour:

Repeat button presses: As before.  Just to add, the consequence varies from device to device (and app on device).  Cable box native OS - arrow keys work as expected.  Cable box netflix app - every arrow press results in a double action.  Pi running Kodi - variable, usually just one action but the audible 'click' to confirm a button press sounds three times (once, short pause, two in quick succession).  This does not happen when using Harmony native app on tablet, for example.

Volume - identical behaviour.  Long press caches repeated volume commands which continue to be sent after button released.

Re Harmony Commands - where do I find full list?  Is it 'press' + name of command lifted from the list on the Harmony standard overlay?  Or should I be looking elsewhere?

Thanks

Downloading it is not good enough...You have to manually rename it to "smartremote" from the downloaded name "smartremote-sample".
Double check and advise if this is what you are actually doing.
MANY have forgotten this step.

Unfortunately the command builder does not have full knowledge of the Harmony commands until the device or activity gets activated.

If you want to see the command being sent watch the myServer event log as you press the various Harmony buttons. You'll then see the exact command that is being sent to the Harmony.

Thanks.  I've been looking at the live logs and will try to incorporate the commands I find there into my bespoke mydesigner pages and will let you know what happens.

Incidentally,  having looked lookhe logs I can see very regular errors being thrown up - unclear if repeat disconnects or an issue with authenticating with logitech. I will copy the error message in here later.
