Hi.
How does this plugin work? over serial port or throu lan?

[jang430]

Hello Kalia,

I just noticed that the plugin works when the PC is turned on, or has been recently turned off (you can still control it within 5 seconds from turning off). Once it's been off for a while, you can't turn it back on. You'll have to do it manually via remote, then, you can once again control it via serial plugin.

I use serial cable since my TV doesn't support lan yet.

I will look into it when I get a chance but I am pretty sure it has something to do with the TV serial port going to sleep (low power mode).

Hello Kalia, I thought the same as well. Though how do you address that? Is there. Setting in the tv to change that?

I could not find a setting but what I can suggest is sending the "Power On" command twice (assuming you are trying to turn TV on after the PC starts up again).

Also, if that does not work, try sending the command:

Code: Select all

RSPW1

before shutting down the PC (only once - not every time you shut down). Then try sending the "Power On" command twice after startup.

Let us know what works for you!

Thanks,

Kalia

Hi !

I think i have the same issue as hanspetersson in the comment above.

Ive tried to setup this plugin.
In EG everything works fine I find the plugin and i can choose my COM-port in the plugin-setup and i can send the commands.
Then to the problem, i dont get any response from the TV and for example if i send a Volume command the TV dont react to it either.
I have a USB-serial cable. and im running windows 8.1

anyone got any tips ?

Thanks hanspettersson for the feedback. I don't use this plugin anymore, but this is what I can suggest:

Try this action after the Volume and Power Status actions:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="1669">
    <Action>
        EventGhost.PythonCommand(u'print eg.result')
    </Action>
</EventGhost>
