Enabling IR Satellite mode?

Developers
1

OK. I’m doing something obvious wrong here - I must be.

  • I have created a simple IR app to control a device
  • I’ve added the Prontohex commands, IR capability
  • Code compiles and runs fine
  • I’ve sent some initial commands after adding my device to my Homey

However, the “satellite mode” option in advanced settings never appears. I’ve added a manual IR device to test, and that’ll let me set satellite mode for it no problem.

What am I doing wrong?..

Did you also enable satellite mode in the driver config? Infrared | Homey Apps SDK

I believe so… I added:

"infrared": {
    "satelliteMode": true
  },

…to driver.compose.json?

Yes, that’s what the documentation suggests.

Are you running your app in Docker, or directly on Homey?

I’ve tried both…

OK - I think I solved this, for anyone else finding this in the future!

I was using the “light” class - which this is. However, changing to the “other” class seemed to work.

Doesn’t really make sense, but glad to see it’s solved :+1:t2:

I have the same issue. class = ‘other’ did not resolve it for me. Re-added the driver after changing class. Using Bridge as antenna, it still sends signals from Homey Pro 2023. Someone got it working? Using homey-rfdriver.
