Re: RemoteBuddy Active from Sleep

Thanks Felix. I will verify tonight if I have the driver installed. I did have a weird issue when upgrading were it stated it needed to install a seperate driver but then locked up. Maybe it never actually got that installed.

I was able to work around this by making my activators global. I never needed to do this before but it's working now without issue so I'm happy.

On a side note, I'm planning on rebuilding my entire mappings in the near future. I'm have a bunch of unused buttons on my Harmony that I want to add functionality to. But I also have a lot of unused buttons on my virtual remotes which I can't map in the harmony software because the remote ID has incremented (and as far as I know there is no way to decrement the apple remote ID so I can teach the commands to the harmony). So rather than making a confusing mess that requires mutliple spreadsheets to maintain. My plan is to take the total number of buttons on my harmony (plus the soft keys) and divide that by 6 to find the number of virtual remotes required to map each button. (I don't use the press and hold functionality. I make a button press and press and hold the same assignement. Just keeps it simpler.) That way when I want to expand functionality I already have the remote ID and buttons learned by the Harmony software, and I only have to assign them in remote buddy. Is this a good plan? I'm worried that I'm oversimplifying or missing something?

Thanks.
