Find the remote #65

Closed JeroenVdb closed 2 years ago

JeroenVdb commented 2 years ago

With four people in the house where often searching for the remote. The Telenet tv-box (BE) has a "find the remote" function that when you press the "+" button on the tv-box itself for 10 seconds, then the remote begins to make a beeping sound.

It would be awesome if I could trigger this search function from my phone. For example by creating a shortcut that triggers this behaviour.

I check the homebridge-eosstb and the "key strokes" when I push this + and - button on the tv-box are not logged. So I don't know if it is possible to catch and simulate them?

Interesting. Can you activate the function from the web app / web interface?

If so, we could find out how it is activated....

I have searched around in the app and in the documentation/website of the provider. It only seems possible via the tv-box itself.

In that case it's not possible. It sounds like an hardware-initiated function, which I cannot emulate or reproduce using the capabilities of the plugin. So I'll close this issue.
