Startup Logic/Macro?

Is that IP address the server IP address, or the remote's IP address?

Here is the Automation Macro I use:

The Where Clause:

WHEN:
{{smartremote_charging_remote4}} = true

Note that "remote4" is the identifier name for my remote, other systems may use a different name-number. The Macro itself is:

Macro|
If|IsEqual##{{av_4_power}}##0##WebCmd|remote4~LoadScene|startup!
AV|8~SendKey~SLEEP!

av_4_power is the identifier tag for my AV system, and AV|8 is the identifier tag for the remote. I included that "av_4_power" test so that I could place the remote on the charger without it changing screens, if I am still watching TV.

Someone created this macro a long time ago due to a problem back then that caused the remote screen not to always shut off when on the charger. I just co-opted it for my use.

If someone trying this does not want to use the remote charger as the trigger, you could always use the TV Power or AV Power turning off as the trigger.

Nice!

I created another Automation where if the Remote is placed back in the charger and the HT is OFF, it loads a blank scene. When you lift the Remote off the charger, and the HT is off, it loads the user friendly, big green Power on button.

If you hit the Remote Power hard button, it brings up the user friendly screen, but it shows a big RED button that says Power OFF

If you long press the power button, it executes the Power Off script.

I'm trying to figure out how to do a hybrid Device and Activity based system. The Activity based approach gets cumbersome and adds unnecessary button presses/screens. But...it is easier for the total novice. I have one of the Function buttons set to bring up a "Activity" page... The downside is you need to know to press F2 to bring it up....

These are all first world problems.... Damn Allonis for making this system so flexible

Pretty slick! I might have to "steal" some of those design ideas...
