Working but some strange things happening.

Hi Mark, I am amazed at how you managed to accomplish this... being disabled makes things a little easier for me. Well I have managed to get it to work just a couple of things I cant figure out. If I want to close the Tv Guide on my sky q box as on power on it defaults to on and highlighting Home so if I say Alexa, turn off Tv Guide it jumps to recordings and highlights Most Recents. If I manualy close it and say Alexa, turn on Tv guide it opens it but if I ask it to turn off jumps to recordings and highlights Most Recents again. Turning on and off, play, pause, ffwind, rewind change channel by name or by number all works fine. If I ask it to turn on info that works displays at the bottom of the screen with current playing programe but when I tell it to turn off info it goes to Tv Guide showing what is currently being played in the previous info picture screen. I did a test event I wonder if you are in a position to have a look at this for me if you are not able to or do not do this stuff anymore then I appologise for bothering you regards Ricky

Hello, I'm happy to have a look at this. The only problem is I don't have Sky Q so I can't test anything!

Turning off the TV Guide is set as if you are pressing the "Sky" button itself. That works fine on a SkyHD box, but obviously goes to recordings on SkyQ. Is there a button (or series of buttons) to press that would just close the TV guide? I'm guessing the "Dismiss" button?

In which case, you just need to change line 404 of lambda_function.py from:

                commands.append('sky')

to

                commands.append('dismiss')

Make sure not to change the indentation.

Let me know how you get on!

You'll need to do a couple of changes. Instead of this:

        elif endpointId == "skybox-info":
            if request_name == "Activate":
                name = "ActivationStarted"
            if request_name == "Deactivate":
                name = "DeactivationStarted"       
            commands.append('i')

You need:

        elif endpointId == "skybox-info":
            if request_name == "Activate":
                name = "ActivationStarted"
                commands.append('i')
            if request_name == "Deactivate":
                name = "DeactivationStarted"       
                commands.append('dismiss')

Hi I would like to thank you for your help with both fixes it works fine, certainly made things easier for me trying to find the correct buttons with poor eyesight it can be difficult especially as I have two different controllers in the bedroom a new style one and in the lounge and older style one which I prefer but the buttons are not in the same places. I can see that you have put a lot of time and effort in this in the past.. The controls I can confirm that work with Sky q the latest box.

Turn on and off Turn on and off TV guide Turn on and off info Turn on youtube Turn on spotify Turn on netflix Play back control Change channel by number Change channel by name Up and down channels

Once again thank you for your time its much appreciated.. regards Ricky
