Turn on/off not working #46

Closed jtbarber closed 7 years ago

jtbarber commented 7 years ago

I have a genie setup and everything is working great except I can't turn the DTV box on or off. I try "power" and that doesn't work, I just get a beep on the box. I tried "turn on" and that doesn't work. I have noticed that "turn on" and "turn off" are in the custom slot values but I don't see it in the index. How can I add this?

If I remember right, I removed it because once the receiver turned off, it shuts down its lan connection so the power on command wouldn't work. I know this Doesn't make sense to have the commands in she.f protocol when the hardware Doesn't keep it working when powered down. But that was my experience,

well i did some checking and i did leave the "power" in the custom slot case "power": path = '/remote/processKey?key=power&hold=keyPress'; break;

if you wanted to see if the "turn on/ turn off" works for you. you can alter your index to look like this: case "power": case "turn on": case "turn off": path = '/remote/processKey?key=power&hold=keyPress'; break;
