Infrared Codes (Learning and Sending) / Voxcommando with Broadlink RM Pro+

« on: November 01, 2018, 05:44:19 PM »

I would like to share with everyone my success with how I got the inexpensive $40 smart home solution from Broadlink called the RM Pro+ to work with voxcommando. I see there was some talk about this on the forum and on the net but this is a topic which seems to be lacking documentation. I remember having trouble trying to find information about this online. So I really hope it will be helpful to some of you viewers.

Since I don't have much time to invest in to this tutorial. I will write what I did or what I remember and with your comments and/or questions, ill hopefully get around to making modifications to this post. A small windows software called Broadlink Manager needs to be downloaded. I'll put a link below. Once installed, you can use the oneclick command line tool which is very useful for running IR commands which your RM Pro device learned. After downloading and installing, connect to your RM+ through the app and add your IR codes. Then, create batch scripts for voxcommando to run your IR script. Since my tv has the same IR code for tv off and tv on, I created one script which triggers the power button followed by a TTS response from voxcommando saying "tv off" and another one for "tv on".
here is my script

Code: [Select]

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Broadlink Manager"
Broadlink.OneClick.exe tv-onoff
Ive attached a download link for the software.


Enjoy

Command Builder Reference / logic commands for existing data in payloads

« on: November 01, 2018, 05:13:22 PM »

excuse me if this is not the right category.
what would be a simple example for checking if a value or phrase exists first within a xml payload.
if it does exist don't add to payload
if it does NOT exist, add to xml payload.
im breaking my head with this for a few days already.

any assistance is appreciated

true, does this mean you don't use android because there is no task bar? you have the button next to the start menu search for seeing background apps just like the button on android devices for seeing running bg apps. remember, this is a media box which should not to be used as desktop pc.

Thanks for the response. the esc key is a great idea.. I believe tablet mode is an amazing choice which promotes the simplicity of my media box. I'm not sure why you recommend both options disabled in the tablet mode settings of win 10. My settings have hide taskbar icons enabled. Are you recommending it disabled in order to keep an eye on the orange flashing of the icon in the taskbar when vc focuses on that windows?

hey James,

thanks for the response and apologize for the delay in my response and not explaining myself any better.

I have a command which uses the action Window.Focus {1} followed by another TTS action which says "Window Focused". I am performing this action the exact same way as when I AM in tablet mode. I make sure any other window is set other then voxcommando and I say "focus" on voxcommando. it focuses when not in tablet mode only. when in tablet mode, I only hear my TTS confirmation response "Window Focused" but nothing gets focused on. I've attached some media for troubleshooting purposes. I've also noticed that in either modes, I am unable to focus on a window if the windows 10 tile menu is displayed. When tablet mode is off though and I say "Focus Voxcommando", ill notice voxcommando flashing in orange in the task bar on the bottom of the screen.
TIA

Windows 8 / 10 / focus in tablet mode on windows 10

« on: October 27, 2018, 09:11:45 AM »

hi all,

My media box is running windows 10 Pro in tablet mode, however I am unable to focus on a specific window when using tablet mode. All works fine when tablet mode is disabled. Is there any workaround for this?

TIA
