  4. Click "Save Preferences"

Capabilities

  • Turn on and off projector
  • Get status

  • Epson 5050UB Home Cinema

How do you use this? It installs a driver but i don't see any way to utilize it?

3

Create a new virtual device with the driver and set the IP address

I can confirm that this driver also works with the Home Cinema 4010. Thanks @amosyuen !

Good to know! Added it to the list of tested devices

So I wanted to mention something I've noticed after using this driver for a while - it seems to time out and go offline at some point. Here's the scenario: I have this device connected to Alexa, because that is how I want to turn it on and off. But when I run the Alexa routine the first time, it doesn't come on. If I wait 20-30 seconds and run it again, it works. So it seems after some time has elapsed, it stops listening for the on command. The first try on the routine wakes it up, and then the second one actually turns it on. Here's the log (if it helps):

Is it possible to send a notification to the projector like if LG tvs? I’d love to be able to notify on screen when kids are out of their bedrooms. Lol.

I’m running remux files through Plex on a nvidia shield pro.
