#Ehome infrared receiver tv#
I was able to find excellent codes for my samsung lcd tv at remote central. You are more likely to get exactly the right code, and won't need to move the transceiver away from ir interference for learning. If at all possible try to get the pronto codes and paste them in, instead of learning. Maybe your hp transceiver is somehow not compatible with this plugin, or your emiter is broken etc, but remember the strength of the signal from the emitter is much weaker than on a remote since it is designed to be attached to the receiver on the device. If you are not seeing anything from the emitter with your camera then I guess that could mean a lot of things. If you have an lcd tv this may throw off a lot of infrared interference so ideally turn the tv off or get as far from it as possible. When you are learning codes make sure you are holding the remote about 2 inches from the transceiver window.
I think it should work for your hp as well. Yes sending and receiving work fine for me with my ehome receiver that I got from newegg a few years ago. This is where the power of EG really comes in handy. There's nothing stopping you from making the "Input" button on a different remote trigger the "Menu" function on your STB. If the problem is the STB IR codes, you could use almost ANY IR remote including the universal remotes and just remap the buttons. The other thing you need to be aware of is that you aren't required to use your STB remote to get all of the functions. I have to ask, if you're only using EG to extend your original STB remote, why not just use a remote control extender? It would be much simpler. Eventually you should be able to narrow the entries down to a reliable one that you can use as the Event. If the problem is getting the macro to trigger (Event), try sending your remote keys over and over. If you have the Pronto codes for your remote from another source, you might be able to use those. That is probably the one you want to use. Paste the Pronto codes into Notepad and compare them to find the most consistent code. Learn your remote key over and over again.

I have one device that I had to learn keys a dozen times until I could tell which code was the best. Some devices are very picky about the IR signal. Obviously, make sure that your emitter is aligned properly. When the STB doesn't respond, does the log show that the macro triggered? If the macro ran but the STB didn't respond, then it is a problem with the IR blaster (Action).
You should be able to tell what part is failing by watching the Log pane. Sounds like you have the process down, now it's just a reliability issue. Now, whenever EG receives that IR command you just captured, it will blast the STB IR command you learned. Drag this Event to the top of the macro of the learned IR command.
In the Log pane of EG, you'll see something like "1" (if you use an MCE remote control) or "MceRemote.Unknown.1234ABCD" if you use any random remote.
This remote doesn't even need to be the same. Now point the remote that you want to use to control the STB at the MCE receiver and press the button that you want to use to trigger the command it just learned. Then execute that command with the emitter connected to your STB and see if it works. Create a macro with the MCE plug-in and learn one of your remote's IR commands. To make sure the IR blaster part of the configuration is working correctly, learn one of the device (STB) remote buttons first. It's fairly straightforward to do this, just takes time to learn all of the commands. 1) Use the Eventghost to map the MCEremote.Unknown****** to MCEremote.Num1
