Startup Logic/Macro?

Here is the use case...is it possible?

When the Smartremote is picked up, it displays one screen if the Home Theater is off and one when it is on.  I would like a very simple power on/off screen when the system is off, and when the system is on, it shows the active "Player" screen.  

Right now I have the on/off screen activate when the power button is tapped...if held down  it runs a startup/shutdown toggle macro.

Over Thanksgiving I had multiple people who didn't know how to turn on the system because they didn't know the power button was a power button (I know.....but it is what it is)

I've spent the last week buttoning down the remote and making it idiot proof.

For me, Power On is always a side-effect of selecting a device.  System Power Off is a long-press of the power button on the home screen.  On a device screen, long-press of the power button takes you back to the home screen, in addition to doing the system Power Off.  I completely disabled short-press of the power button.

That's funny... I have exactly the opposite issue. Long Press causes headaches and I only use it for "admin" stuff. I got tired of hearing...I pressed it and nothing happened.

I also have an "Activities" screen that works very similar to what you have. The flexibility I'm looking for is to have the opening screen on the remote based off the current state of the devices. Right now the remote defaults to the "TV" (Tivo) screen, because that is used 99% of the time. The Logic I'm looking for is...upon remote wakeup, if TV is off, display the "turn on" screen, if TV is on, display the active_player screen.

The problem I see with this logic is how would the Remote know if you just picked it up after laying it down for 30 seconds, vs being on the shelf or charger. A "screen on" event would not know the difference.

I solve this by having the remote switch to a specific "welcome" screen when the remote is placed on the charger. So when it is picked up again, the screen is already on my initial screen.

You trigger the above with an automation, using the "{{smartremote_charging_remote4}}" server variable when it becomes true.

I could not find any server variables that indicate the screen being on or off.

Not a bad idea...  That would cover most of the  use case.  Once the remote is off the charger, the system is usually in use.  

Thanks!

I'm missing something.... Here is the syntax on what I'm trying to execute on the server (using with main screen wizard).

webcmd|w192.168.1.109~LoadScene~sample

Google AI is telling me it's correct, but it doesn't kick off the scene on the remote

-Update-

Never trust Google.... Fixed it and it's working perfectly.

I also modified the simple power page so it only loads if the system is off... and it only shows the button to turn on the system.  Less choices mean less mistakes!
