My Roku (Purple) is plugged into the HDMI and it gets its power through the TV, IOW, the wall wart is not used
The driver install went pretty well and now I do see all the apps
I turned the Roku on via the remote and it turns on the TV which is ideal
From HE, I can use the "Key Press" options and by selecting different thing such as up, down, select... and they work, however nothing else works from the driver, not even on/off.
We mostly use YoutubeTV and go to one channel at bedtime, Ideally I would like to use this driver to automate just this... however until I can get the rest of the driver to work, I'm stuck
Thanks. I merged your fix. I am working on the roku integration app, and I discovered annex to add the timeouts but apparently I did not see this issue yet in my testing.
It will use wake on lan to wake up the tv if your are setup using Ethernet. Otherwise you need to change the setting for your tv. Go to settings, power, fast tv start — turn this on. That should clear it up (assuming you are using this in a roku Tv)
I am not aware of any single device. In my early days, I created a Dashboard for TV Remote. In that dashboard, I created a bunch of switches for what I wanted to control. Keep in mind that the Roku API does not have a set volume level and no way to get the volume level information, so the volume control template will not work. So, I used a switch for TV Power, and two Buttons for Volume + and Volume -.
Yeah, I thought so too. I don't write this stuff for myself. I have three Roku devices, but I only use them for on/off controls via Alexa. I write this stuff in hopes that people like you will enjoy it, and can sole your unique use cases. The app is not done yet, but I felt it was time to release what I had since I too felt it made managing the system substantially better too.
Very cool! Thanks for all the work you have put into this. It's mind blowing to a guy like me. I do CyberSecurity professionally, and as such, I rarely, but sometime do a little programming from time to time. I am skilled enough to hurt myself is about it. You guys that can crank out this level of work are true artist.
Thanks for making my life better, man!
The ON/OFF capability is perfect for what I need. I just need to make sure the kids don't leave the thing on all the time. Also want to put it on a timer which should be no problem with the on/off switch.
