Simulate button held down

My cable box (Foxtel iQ3/Pace) has a couple of functions that work by holding down the button on the remote (i.e. hold Play = Slow, hold FWD = jump to end).

Any idea how to imitate this on HR? I messed around with repeat intervals, but could not make it work. On a previous product I set the repeat interval to zero, but not having the same luck getting it to work on HR.

Appreciate any guidance.

Did you ever figure this out?

Did heard from anybody else and only played with repeat intervals briefly. I suspect the solution is to learn the long IR sequence (I connect via a Global Cache IP2IR) and add it to the code file.

You may have just inspired me to stop and spend some time on it again!

I was asking because I was running into something similar with my Apple TV commands. As you’re using a Global Cache, you can modify the IR string to repeat at source, vs having THR do it.

In the example:
sendir,1:1,123,40000,1,1,96,24,48,24,24,24,48,24,24,24,48,24,24,24,24,24,48,24,24,24,24,24,24,24,24,1035

…the value after 40000 is the repeat interval. So in my case, I changed it to 10:

sendir,1:1,123,40000,10,1,96,24,48,24,24,24,48,24,24,24,48,24,24,24,24,24,48,24,24,24,24,24,24,24,24,1035

(this is just a random string, btw)

Good luck finding a solution!

:grinning: Thanks. All the best with your project.
