Sony Bravia trough an iTach WF2IR

This discussion is 14 years old. It predates today's Roomie Remote X, and the app names, menus, features, pricing, and device details below have changed substantially since 2012. Treat it as historical reference — see Support and current compatibility for how things work today.

In short

Hoi,\r \r I'm trying to add my Sony Bravia TV through the iTach-controller, but when I add a device, select the iTach and channel, the screens shows: Type "Sony TV" (All Models All Types) but the Remote shows a Samsung-remote!?\r \r The TV is not responding to any command (probably due to Samsung-commands). The iTach is receiving the commands because the light flashes on the iTach and emitter.\r \r How can I fix this?

The Original Remote image simply provides a pleasing image. We default that to off, but if you choose the Samsung image remote when adding the device, that's what you will see. This is explained in the FAQ:\r \r roomieremote.com/faq/#originalRemotes\r \r The Sony TV issue is almost certainly the issue that happens with all Sony TVs that we discuss in the FAQ with solution here:\r \r roomieremote.com/faq/#diagnoseIR

Hoi,

The TV is not responding to any command (probably due to Samsung-commands). The iTach is receiving the commands because the light flashes on the iTach and emitter.

How can I fix this?
