Just wondered if one of you kind souls could cast your eye over my macro and tell me where I'm going wrong. I have tried loading it at the project level, I have tried it on html files but it just doesn't work. When I look at the logs there is nothing being recorded
macro|AV|{{active_tv_{{clientname}}}}~Remote~INPUT HDMI 2!Control|1~SendIR~4K Diva~INPUTSEL0!activate-source.cabletv-bedroomskyq
Thanks
Full Macro below

I assume your referring to my description of how to read a macro with an explanation of the curly brackets. You don't need to do anything. This statement is already a part of your activation macro. I was just pointing out an example from your activation macro to show how to see what the commands actually do. I wouldn't strip away the curly brackets. They allow the code to be used in multiple rooms and remotes.
Here's how I would proceed. First I would fix the misspelling in your activation macro line and put in the correct source:
- SetVariable|{{actom_{{clientname}}}}_display_input~HDMI2!"
- should be: "SetVariable|{{activeroom_{{clientname}}}}_display_input~INPUT HDMI 2!
- Note the space between "HDMI" and "2"
Next I would do as bowlingbeeg suggests and take commands from the macro on the function key that set the input on your TV and VRRoom and move them to your activation macro. Before you do this, I would make sure your TV command works. Since you have a Panasonic TV, I assume you're using IR to control it. If so, the command to change the input will need to change, as I mentioned earlier. It will look something like:
- Control|1~SendIR~Panasonic-Most Models~INPUT HDMI 2!
I would add just this command to a button on your SmartRemote for testing until you get it working. Once it's working, it will need to be added to the activation macro. It will change in the activation macro to use the variable I mentioned above, and will looking something like:
- Control|1~SendIR~Panasonic-Most Models~{{activeroom_{{clientname}}}}_display_input!
Once the TV Input and VRRoom commands are working, add them to the macro like I show below in red and change the command on your function key to simply "activate-source.cabletv-bedroomskyq"
