Using Flags with Power Toggle

Using Flags with Power Toggle

  • Purpose: Explains using flags to simulate discrete Power On/Off commands when only a Toggle Power IR command is available.
  • Naming Flags: Flags are named under the Macro Tab (e.g., "Cable Power" and "TV Power").
  • Flag Operations:
    • Flags turn memory bits on/off locally for testing their state within the system file.
    • Operations include Test Flag, Set Flag, Clear Flag, and Toggle Flag.
  • Accessing Flag Operations:
    • Go to the Macro Tab, select Add, and expand Flag Operations in the Add Macro Step window.
  • Test Flag Command:
    • Used to check flag conditions before sending commands.
    • Functions as an If-Then-Else statement to execute different commands based on flag state.
  • Changing Flags:
    • Flags can be selected or modified using Set, Clear, or Toggle Flag commands in the Properties and Values columns.
  • Power Commands:
    • Use specific series of commands for Power On and Power Off actions.
    • Always check and use flags for power commands.
