How do I prevent equipment powering off when I move between

This discussion is 13 years old. It predates today's Roomie Remote X, and the app names, menus, features, pricing, and device details below have changed substantially since 2013. Treat it as historical reference — see Support and current compatibility for how things work today.

In short

It sounds like something in your configuration is marked "Power Device" in a particular Activity when it actually applie — Staff replied: “Yes, devices that have discrete power commands are not eligible for Power Tracking. Learning the codes for your model would be a way to accomplish that.”

It sounds like something in your configuration is marked "Power Device" in a particular Activity when it actually applies to multiple Activities. Just unset that if you have a multi-activity device.

Roomie <strong>remembers</strong> whenever it sends a Power Toggle and tracks any device as to whether it is on or off. If you start the System Off Activity, Roomie knows not to send a Power Toggle to a device that is already off. It just ignores the command and doesn't send it (unless you disable power tracking for a given device).

Thank you.

Thanks for the reply, I noticed the Track Toggled Power does not appear on one of my devices a Velodyne Sub, is this because it does offer a Discrete On and Off button as well as a Power Toggle? Unfortunately the Power Toggle only works with my Sub. The Velodyne model I chose from the DB was not an exact model match but still controlled all of the options I needed via IR, do I need to create a custom device to get the Power Toggle tracking working?

Thank you.
