Homatics Box R 4K Plus

@vpeter nope,stays dead as a rock ,no response at all .
I also tested on LE11,same outcome .

I did saw an authentication error once ,in bluetoothctl ,but probably was just triggered by a failed pairing .

Another odd behavior is that it seems to re-connect automatically after pressing “disconnect” in the Bluetooth menu.

Then try to delete remote from CE settings, reboot CE, pair again. I’m sure it will work eventually :frowning:

Did that a few times already ,from CE BT menu and from bluetooth cmd,no dice,this remote is a ghost . :slight_smile:

Will have to try on my Linux laptop ,to see at least if it works there .

In terminal

bluetoothctl scan on

and check if it appears after pressing button.

Yeah ,it appears just fine and can be paired and removed just fine with bluetoothctl ,but still no input device is created .

Just tested and surprisingly ,this B25 it works with my LG G2 tv,only OK ,BACK and another few buttons aren’t working (just as it happens with B19 and B21 on CE).

I concur, I just got my Rocktek G2 and the remote is just totally SOL, it shows up as “Paired” but no luck after that. The latest nightly from 2 days ago totally broke it and Bluetooth was initially saying it was disabled. Now Bluetooth works, but the remote even if it is paired doesn’t control at all. Please let me know if any debug is needed.

@vpeter after the latest CE21 nightly ,the Homatics B25 started to work .
Of course ,it still needs the correct hwdb,because several buttons aren’t working .

Will try, but the audio passtrough reverts always to spdf not hdmi. And in hdmi only ac3 is available.
pretorian which is the correct hwdb?

If someone share the hwdb file it can be included in CE image itself.

is DV working in CE 21? I was under impression there are issues with DV, so I rather installed 20.3 nightly.

It was working till yesterday. Not tried yet after the last nightly update.

There were issues with Omega in general that were being solved upstream by TK so as it’s still in Alpha stage the team decided to backport DV to CE20.
You can use CE21 knowing that some probl Ms may emerge.

Scratch all this ,it automatically connect to my TV,so it was working via CEC,so false alarm ,sorry .

Hey @pretoriano80 what was your issue, and how did you get it sorted out? Can you point me to some debugging tips please(This is the issue of the Rocktek G2 Bluetooth Remote not working)

This doesn’t tell much. Is it paired and connected? Do you see events with evtest program? Maybe needs hwdb fixes? … Lot of possibilities.

It is paired & connected, but I am not able to navigate around with it. Can you please point me to a thread which gives me some debug information about the evtest please?

Something is indeed off after latest V21 auto update, the sound settings are not complete anymore.

Edit: went back to Omega_nightly_20230904-Generic and all is well again

For my G2, since I go back and fourth with Android, to avoid pairing issues I just use BT for Android, because I can use all the special keys, and I use an USB HID RF remote for CE.

Fully agrre. Meantime I am running CE20.3 from a different usb stick
