What version of VC are you using Pegleg?

normally noise should be set lower (maybe 5) and increasing the "Equal +/-" to about 10 is going to help your compressed codes.  You see your values of 38, 41, 40, 42.  Those are probably all the same duration and the Equal +/- will allow VC to see that they are all the same and change them all to the average of their values.  So they will all be set to something like 40, and then replaced with a letter.

You may only need up to the first larger number, possibly also setting n>1

eg:

Code: [Select]

{M:IP.Beam 2.0}/sendRFraw?code=102,134,32,128,36,124,40,122,41,121,42,40,121,42,121,42,120,122,41,41,121,122,42,41,121,121,42,121,43,40,122,41,121,41,121,42,120,42,120,122,41,41,121,42,120,42,1201

VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / Re: Voxcommando to control Android using ADB?

« on: December 06, 2022, 03:06:24 PM »

I don't know much about sending ADB commands or the protocols involved but I  doubt it is something that you cando  directly from VC unless there is a python script that works in IronPython.

But if you are able to send commands using a command prompt then I woud try to initiate them from VC the way we do other command prompt actions.

I did not know those chips could go bad but they are pretty cheap so trying a new one is probably the easiest place to start.

You should also try to remove the chip, check that the contacts are clean and that the antenna is secure and put it back in.

Make sure when learning codes to avoid other RF signals if possible and put your remote close to the receiving chip. There can also be some technique involved in holding down the remote button for long enough. Varies by remote.

Good luck and let us know what happens.

Thank you very much Jonathan.  I'm really happy to hear that.

We use VC a bit less than we used to but it is still very much in action in our home too!

I do miss the once active community on this forum but such is life!

Here is my command xml.  Note that I'm using the GTTS actions here for speech.  If VoxCommando replied with some sort of text it usually gets passed back to Alexa and you hear it both on VC and on the echo.  But for this to work you may need to use my lastest lambda code posted above.

Maybe you can use the two words Jar and Viss ?

I upgraded to node.js 12 and it still seems to be working.
