Hi, sure!

Yes I apologize as I didnt include all the "issues" as my post was more centered around tailoring a workaround for my own use...

I have 2 different Tizen TVs. One is a newer series (lets say TV1) , and one is a bit older (TV2).

What I have noticed:
Volume & Tizen Driver - Works correctly for both of my TVs.
Power & TIZEN Driver: TV1 (newer) OK! / TV2 (older) Discreet ON command toggles the power. OFF command is correct.
Samsung Driver - Power discreet commands work OK for TV2, Volume doesnt work at all.

In summary my "issue" is only with 1 TV, with the Power... Thats why I thought about using the alternate driver for that one only... Maybe I can alter the macros for the Living room only (where the older TV2 is), as was suggested... I'm thinking what path is easiest and wont give more headache in the future... It seems to be only 1 TV giving me issues, so I also dont want you to waste time as I'm unsure there is a fix on the driver side... (at risk of breaking other TVs which now work on the same driver)... Let me know your thoughts if you dont mind

Could you just replace the power on command in the activation macro(and anywhere else you use the discrete power on command, like the power button) with a macro(ex: tv.poweron). Then in the tv.poweron macro you have an If check that issues the Samsung Driver power on command if the active room is your living room and otherwise uses the standard {{{{activeroom_{{clientname}}}}_display_id}} power on? That way everything uses the normal Tizen driver except the discrete power on command.

Hi David! I ended up selling the unfolded and staying with the Smart Remote instead... I am traveling for the past months but will return to the US where I have the remote at home in October... I'd say I'm about 80% there integrating everything I need... will update when i'm back
