Hello, I’ve just bought Homatics Dune HD edition box, set up CE and all is working really nice. I can see that it should be possible to use Homatics IR module. After the initial boot under Android, it started to work automatically I believe with IR on my Panasonic TV. So when I used Volume +/- it was adjusting TV volume, rather than Android volume (which I like more). Then I set up CoreElec and wanted to achieve the same so I took remote.conf and placed it into /storage/.config and rebooted the box. I have used aszi’s config shared on this forum (Homatics Box R 4K Plus - #620), but after reboot, it doesn’t seem to work. At least it no longer adjusts TV volume, but rather Kodi’s volume.
I thought the config might work with different Dune HD remote as I have Revision 2 box (with bigger remote control - new boxes being sold since May 2023). Do I need to adjust factory_code or any value within the config? Or is my understanding wrong and this only works with Dune HD box IR, rather than TV’s IR? It’s interesting that when I reboot into Android now, volume +/- on Homatics remote no longer adjusts TV, but it is now changing Android OS volume (I don’t mind as I plan to use CE over Android anyway, but it would be nice to make IR working in CE).
Try use mine, from here and disable the bluetooth connection to the remote under coreelec settings. You will see, when ir mode, then the red light flashing instead of green.But you can see again, your cec settings, under CE
Ah, right, I see now. I haven’t originally noticed the led color on the remote. So it probably worked even with the very first config and it is also working with yours. Thank you. I can see red led when pressing buttons and I can also notice the need of pointing remote towards the box, comparing to BT. But I still like it more as there is no need to use pairing mode after each restart. And I think it also stopped working when I took a remote outside of the BT coverage.
Anyway, what confused me is the fact, that it “somehow” worked, on the very first boot under Android, when Vol +/- on Dune’s remote was changing TV volume, rather than Kodi. Meaning Volume +/- graphics was displaying Panasonic icons, over Kodi or Android icons, which is doing now (keeping Panasonic TV volume level unchanged).
Surely about I would say 95% of TV’s sold in the last 2 or 3 years must be ‘Smart’ TV’s right, that’s how I used to use Netflix till they got a little too greedy with there subscriptions so binned them. I do have a Homatics Coreelec Box which is used exclusively with ‘Local’ Content.
Yesterday I updated my omega CE 21 ne nightly. A message appears “migration of add-ons” or something like this. After finishing 2 add-ons are disabled. FFMpeg and rtpm.
So have I to wait till new compatible versions come out ? Or is something broken in my system ?
