Custom Feedback

This thread is a feature request from 2013, preserved from the original Roomie Remote forum. It reflects what users were asking for at the time — many requests from this era have since shipped in Roomie Remote X. See current compatibility for today's device support.

In short

The feature I'd like to request is some way to process feedback/status from a device; Even if it's just some sort of pat — A member replied: “+1 for custom feedback!”

The feature I'd like to request is some way to process feedback/status from a device; Even if it's just some sort of pattern matching

EX: If the query for volume was ?1VO+ and the answer was !1VO15+

Maybe my plist could be:

<key>.Volume .QUERY</key><string>?1VO+</string>

<key>.Volume .Status</key><string>?1VO##+</string>

&nbsp;

Basically anything with the ## is returned to rommie for a value...

I would add there needs to be an additional layer of capability on this. I'd like to be able to map that ## to another table of text that could be the feedback Roomie shows. In the case of a projector I have, it has something like four different power states. If you query the power status, you get a number from 1-4 returned. Those numbers map to things like On, Warming Up, Cooling Down, Off. (That's not it exactly, but you get the idea.)

So I'd like to map that number to a status message that could be displayed in Roomie. Just showing a power state of "2" isn't terribly useful.

Just downloaded 3.0...I think it looks great... Was a custom feedback feature added?

Thanks

Sadly - it looks like this is still not possible. :frowning:

+1 I wrote an enhancement request but I think this falls right in line with that. Programming logic based on feedback is what the big boys do! I know Roomie will get there as it's blowing everything out of the water.

+1 please. I'd like to make my Christie outdoor TV RS-232c interface fully functional with Roomie.

The TV shows a range of 0-100. However, the hex range is 00-64 where 00 = 0 (no volume) and 64 = 100 (max volume).

The serial interface responds with 07 01 00 56 4F 4C ## 08 where ## is the current value of volume setting (00-64).

+1 for custom feedback so I can add it to <a title="CEC-Roomie" href="https://github.com/robbiet480/CEC-Roomie">CEC-Roomie</a>.

@Roomie: Can we still contact support to have you add custom feedback? I think you said that was doable in another thread. Looking to add a generic JSON and/or HTTP response code custom feedback option. Alternatively, just a string returned from HTTP. For power feedback it could be as simple as checking for "on" or "off" in the return. Volume could be the decibel level, etc.
