Add unsupported Device
Ok, it’s fine but my new Plasma 3D Tv is not supported and the code doesn’t exist is the memory L Don’t panic! I’s possible to add as many new code device as we want (or replace existing code).
First of all, go to the following page and check if for your device model a RM or KM file exists: h__p://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=category&cat_id=4
If there is no, take another similar model from the same manufacturer (if it doesn’t fit, it will be necessary to test another one, and so on …)
We will use Remote Master (RM) which can read as well KM or RM files. Execute RM (it is possible to configure RM path in IR tool in order to launch RM from the IR icon toolbar)
Open the KM or RM file downloaded (if the file is a KM type, change the filter type if the file selection dialog box). If you see a warning message box, don’t care about it.
In the Remote menu list select your Dreambox controller model. For a dm800, select Dreambox V4. If you have some warning message, don’t care about it.
If the device has not the type SAT, TV, VCR or DVD, change it ofr one of these one (anyone, it doesn’t really matter, it must just be an existing one in the Dreambox remote eeprom).
The Setup Code is the code number which will be added in the remote eeprom. If this code is already existing, it will be replaced by the new definition. You can modify it and specify any code number you want.
In the Buttons and Layout tabs, check that the affectation of the buttons is consistent with the layout of our Dreambox remote and also with what we would like to obtain.
It is possible to customize all the buttons. You can assign or remove a function to a button using the mouse contextual menu. You can assign a function by drag&drop (from the right section to the left one). All buttons could be used twice by using the Shift function. Codes in red correspond to function not already assigned (each time you will assign a function it will become black).
The Functions tab allow us to add new codes if they are not all available. In this case, you must know the EFC (or Hexa) code (you can check or ask on the JP1 forum, or check in another KM or RM file of a similar device).
Ie. it was useful for me in order to implement discrete code found in another RM files (discrete codes are distinct codes for power-on and power-off).
When everything is ready go to Output tab.
Click on the copy icon on the left side of the Device Upgrade Code panel. Then return in IR tool, and in the Devices tab, click on Add. In the new windows, paste the copied code in the upper section (other sections are automatically filled). Then validate.
The code of the new device is added and is displayed in the left list.
