This is maybe a better description of the difference between pressing and holding a button on the original remote and the BEO5.

When the device is powered-on, it shows a continues blue light.

When I press and hold a button on the original remote, this light starts flashing until I release the button. Then it will show a continues blue light again.

When I press and hold a button on the BEO5, this light flashes for a short intance, and then stays OFF for the duration that I press the key. When I release the buttton, it show a continues blue light.

Peter,

When it comes to "Repeat" using NEC protocol, there are the ones which following the standard specification to the letter which is as followings:-

by doing 1 one bit repeat signal rather than the whole signal which is what you have in the XML file, but it sounds like they repeat the whole signal again.

Hi Keith,

this sounds like the remote and device do not adhere to the standards. The only reason why it acts this way is to give the device time to respond.

To tell you the truth, the RECORD button is the only button this exposes a problem currently. As there any chance for you to upload a XML with the navigation buttons:

Up, 0X43
Down, 0x0a
Left, 0x06
Right, 0x0E
Enter, 0x02

This way, maybe I can test if RECORD is the only function that exposes a problem. If the navigation buttons operate fine, then maybe this is some flaw in the device ?

Thanks, Peter.

Hi Keith,

I just tested some more, based on your last update. This time I didn't observe the light but the screen ( 😁 ) and found that keeping the button pressed on the BEO5 does appear to function identical to the original .

By that I mean an example like this:

If I press the TIMER button on the original and hold it, it comes up with the list on the device where I can put in the schedule. If I hold it long enough, it exits the schedule list and returns to the previous page on the device.

The BEO5 timer button behaves exactly like this , so the flashing light is no factor.

BUT, for some reason, this doesn't happen with the RECORD button. That seems to function ( sometimes) different between the BEO5 and the original remote.

Very strange.

Forgot one in the request for nav key :

Up, 0X43
Down, 0x0a
Left, 0x06
Right, 0x0E
Enter, 0x02

And

Return 0x04f

Thanks, Peter.
