PopcornHour A100 off with Harmony

[soccerdad]

Forgive me for not posting this on the PCH board. I figured that Martin or others here might know this answer.

OK, I just moved my PCH to a different TV. I use Harmony remotes for my systems to help the WAF. Typically, after watching on the PCH, I exit npvr and it dumps me back to the PCH start screens. At that time, I hit the off button on the PCH remote, or the Harmony off button. The green light on the PCH then turns orange and that is the way I leave it.

I set up the Harmony like normal for the new TV so the PCH will work. I used the Harmony Sybus setup for an a-100. Everything works fine, but when I hit Off, the PCH actually shuts OFF and goes completely black on the front, like I pulled the power. No button on the PCH remote (that I have found) will wake it up. Is there an "ON" button that will wake it from this state" Using the PCH remote, it just turns orange, the Harmony turns it off. Is this some function that I should know about or should I just teach my Harmony the correct "standby" mode from the a-100 remote "off"????

There is a Power + Delete option on the A100 that does the full power off, requiring you to power on by the plug. For the A100 I think you are on the right track in reprogramming this to just Power for the standby/Orange mode. Newer NMT's do allow power on from the "full" power off.

Thanks Martin. I guess the Harmony database does not know the diff between and 100 and 110. They must have just updated their DB since I used the same programming on a different TV just a couple months ago.

I use a harmony remote with my A-100 and it correctly mapped the power button without any problems like you describe. It may have been the device profile that you picked. I just checked what I I used. It says the device is "Popcorn Hour A-100".

Thanks, I picked the A-100 but I think they updated their codes. No worries though. I can just teach it with the PCH remote.
