A few days ago I setup a USB keypad to use as a smart remote after following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV0DFPBQbWQ
Everything worked amazingly well.
Now I want to add a second keypad, but since it’s the exact same keypad, I think it’s complicating things, and not only is the 2nd keypad not working, adding the 2nd prevents the 1st keypad from working.
As soon as I unplug the USB for the 2nd keypad, everything works well again.
Without getting too long winded in this post, I was just wondering if anyone has any insight into what my problem could possible be?
I’m running VirtualBox on a windows machine, and correctly passing over the Keypad device via the USB settings in VirtualBox.
The config YAML that works when having 1 device is:
keyboard_remote:
device_descriptor: '/dev/input/event6'
type: "key_down"
emulate_key_hold: true
emulate_key_hold_delay: 0.25
emulate_key_hold_repeat: 2.0
I used the following code when adding the second device:
keyboard_remote:
- device_descriptor: '/dev/input/event6'
type: "key_down"
emulate_key_hold: true
emulate_key_hold_delay: 0.25
emulate_key_hold_repeat: 2.0
- device_descriptor: '/dev/input/event12'
type: "key_down"
emulate_key_hold: true
emulate_key_hold_delay: 0.25
emulate_key_hold_repeat: 2.0
So any ideas, or directions I can be pointed in?
