How can I change the power OFF code ? (+ how to reset meson-ir ?)

[SaladCesar]

Hi,

I succeeded, using this guide, to setup a power on code on my Odroid N2+:

How to configure IR wakeup code

This HowTo applies to following devices: Odroid N2 Odroid C4 Odroid HC4 Amlogic devices with bl301 injection About bl301 injection: CoreELEC BL301 Wake-Up feature [inject_bl301] Use predefined IR wake up code There is a list of predefined IR power codes available in CoreELEC settings. Settings CoreELEC Hardware IR Remote Power Code [IR-power-code] Obtain IR wake up code by command line Sometimes there is no matching IR power code predefined. Use this option to find your unique IR power …

I am using a Logitech Harmony 650.

The problem with this method is that it’s only a power toggle that will both power on and off, and it’s not comfortable as it can power off if people press the button 2 times. So I’m looking to get 2 codes in my remote for power on and off.

I correctly succeeded to create a new power on code on the remote, and I’ve set it in config.ini. Everything works great for the power on code.

But now for the power off code, I didn’t find anything on the forum about that. The only guide I found is this one:

How to configure IR remote control

IR remote controls can be configured in 1 of 2 ways in CoreELEC, both are detailed in this guide below. meson-ir meson-ir allows you to use almost any IR remote controller to control your device. CoreELEC uses meson-ir by default and our builds come with a limited selection of IR remote configurations for devices built in. If your remote does not work then you will need to follow the below instructions to create a config and get it working. Firstly you must SSH into your device and then Kod…

I followed it, and created the following .toml file:

[[protocols]]
name = "stopcode"
protocol = "RC6A"
[protocols.scancodes]
0x800f042a = "KEY_POWER2"

The code I scanned is this one:
Received IRMP code: remotewakeup=‘0x800f042a’, decode_type=‘0x5’, remotewakeupmask=‘0xffff7fff’

But it didn’t work. Worse, now all my IR controls are messed and nothing works. Not a single key. The guide doesn’t explain how to reset it. So my questions are:

1. How can I reset the modifications I made using this guide ?
2. How can I change only the power off code ?

I would really need help as I’m currently stuck on a broken coreelec setup right now. Any answer is welcome, have a great day !

To reset just remove .toml file. And this file must have all the codes defined not just one.
I’m not familiar with two different codes for power. I assume your steps are ok but you have to use complete .toml file. Which remote config file you were using before that?

Thank you for your answer. I correctly managed to reset my controls by deleting the .toml file. I now have everything back to normal.

I noticed that the “PowerON” command that I’ve set doesn’t power off the N2. So what I did is that I used the “PowerON” from my remote as wakeup command, and the “PowerToggle” as the power off command. It was the command I was using before and that works with the base command controls. I simply renamed it “PowerOFF” on all strings of my remote using harmony software.

It’s more like a workaround but it works as expected.

Thanks again for your help ! Have a great day
