I’ve got hassio setup so I can send a remote code to my TV through the web GUI. It’s a Panasonic TV and requires a long remote press to turn on, I can see the red light blink once but it’s not a long enough signal. Is there any way of configuring it to send a long remote press?

Open the Python shell and… >>> from base64 import b64decode, b64encode >>> b = bytearray(b64decode('JgAYANZSajkZHRs3Nh0ZORocGzc3Gzc4NwANBQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA')) >>> b[1] 0 # Your code repeats 0 times. >>> b[1] = 50 # Assign 50 repetitions. >>> b = b64encode(b) >>> b b'JjIYANZSajkZHRs3Nh0ZORocGzc3G…

Many thanks for your answer @felipediel ! I did it, but apparentlz it doesn’t work. I did change the number from 50 to 200, but the result is the same.

I tested it locally and it works. Make sure to b64decode before and b64encode after. This is your code with 255 repetitions: Jv8YANZSajkZHRs3Nh0ZORocGzc3Gzc4NwANBQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Apologies if it wasn’t clear from my side. In effect I can generate the code, but when I add it to my configuration.yaml it doesn’t work seems the code is not correct…

config - name: pellets_on_off command_on: "Jv8YANZSajkZHRs3Nh0ZORocGzc3Gzc4NwANBQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" command_off: "Jv8YANZSajkZHRs3Nh0ZORocGzc3Gzc4NwANBQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

The config looks ok, but I see that you are using the same code to turn it on and off. This can be problematic. Most devices use a toggle bit in the code. You need to learn two codes, one for each command.

Thanks, basically it’s exactly the same code. In effect I use then the on integrated into a script and only use the on. Looking to the older answers and the Panasonic example the code should be much longer, I searched for a while without any success. Broadlink told me as well they currently don’t su…

The problem is not related to the number of repetitions. You are sending the wrong code. I extracted the codes for you. I hope it works.

Hi Felipe i have a similar issue turning on my pellet stove, and have nearly given up. i can control the temp and fan but cant figure out the 2sec power press to start and stop it. Do you mind sharing how you got the codes? Everytime i try the long press a different sequence appears. thanks Fred

If your stove uses an Evo board, you could use an ESP? Still very rudimental, but basics work
