"inputs" key-value object - data #41

Closed duculete closed 4 years ago

duculete commented 4 years ago

for the inputs object we have 3 keys: name, type, data.

can I use for data key different value than a string? for example:

"inputs": [ { "name": "INPUT 1", "type": "hdmi", "data": [ { "data": "SOURCE_HEX_1...", "pause": 0.3 }, { "data": "DOWN_ARROW_HEX_2...", "sendCount": 2, "interval": 0.1, "pause": 0.3 } ] } ]

Absolutely. I've seen this used frequently for input selection when there isn't a hexcode for a device. I.e. you can send the hexcode for a known device followed by a sequence of hexcodes to cycle to the desired input.

Are you having issues getting this to work?

Hello,

I am out of the country. I will try when I'll be back!

Question: this plugin has the same name as the original (fork) so I need to uninstall homebridge-broadlink-rm (original one) and then install this one. does the old(already configured) accessories will work (the ones I have configured with the original homebridge-broadlink-rm)?

Hello,

I confirm it's working with composed data inputs.

Thanks for the update. Glad you got it working.
