Is IR not working anymore? Is it disabled?

in Devices
When trying to add a device, I don't get a list off devices, after waiting a while Homey gets "off line"? or I get a message with "Invalid_session".
Also copying from a remote is't working.

    exact same issue here.

    Hier ook problemen met IR leert geen IR code
  • jjtbsomhorstjjtbsomhorst Member
    I have to agree on this. Better not to use IR unless you place your homey in front of all your devices. Better use any other option (if any) to control your tv, receiver etc.
  • Martijn27Martijn27 Member
    Exactly the same issue here. I guess that if you had some IR functionality programmed in some time ago it would still work, but Lord help you if you didn't because you won't get it to work at all!

    I think there's a database-server down, the circle keeps turning:

    ir learning worked for me today added my Samsung UE40ES6530 by learning via the remote firmware version 1.0.2

    only thing if found is the distance is very poor it must be right in front the tv.

    this is strange because the homey uses 6 ir leds????

  • Martijn27Martijn27 Member
    Well, IR learning isn't working for me. Doesn't matter which remote I use (tried 5), doesn't matter from which angle of from up close or far away. Doesn't matter how many times I reboot. Late on Friday I got some response (the drawing of a button depressed when I pressed a button), but after that nothing has happened any more.

    Searching for your exact string returns nothing at all, but then nothing returns anything in my admittedly limited experience of a few days.

    are u using the app or just the web page?

    for me the page keeps crashing app the works fine

    need to press the button 15 times did you see that?

    for me the webpage crashes after a couple of buttons the app is more stable

    i used a samsung remote prox 2 mtrs from homey to learn homey no probs

    I have no IR functionalities anymore. I can't even teach Homey a new remote at this time. Hopefully it will be running again soon.
  • RocodamelsheRocodamelshe Member
    No problems at all over here. Just added an IR remote button to test and it's working.

    since last week i have a new homey.      (send back whit purple ring)
    that homey ir worked fine  (at least; last time)
    the new homey will not recognize my tv, so i think there is really something chanced/wrong

    edit.     i am now not on experimental now.

    Yes, I see that message. Neither the app nor the web page works at all, no button press events are detected at all any more (not since late last Friday at any rate). Tried distances from about 2 cm to about 1 m with 5 different remotes, nothing registers any more.

    Although today the DB didn't work,
    Both my Homeys on 1.0.2 and Dev Preview Learned a remote and the one in  the living could reproduce the signal to the TV. 
    So it is al least not complete disabled.
  • AnnemarieAnnemarie Member
    Hi Guys, 

    We indeed found an issue with IR and we just manage to solve it.

  • wingiewingie Member
    Hi @Annemarie good news but what kind of issue did you find: beter receiving, sending or learning or? 
  • phbphb Member
    Still not working  here 
  • Martijn27Martijn27 Member
    Can't check for functionality at the moment but searching the DB seems to work now :)

    That didn't work yesterday, so I'm happy to see a sign of improvement!
  • JohnotteJohnotte Member
    I'm afraid the isue isn't solved yet since I can't send IR signals to my TV.
  • Martijn27Martijn27 Member
    Haven't been able to test it yet, but I've managed to get all my remotes learned by now. Only one had an entry in the DB that worked though. Neither Toshiba nor the Motorola IPTV ones worked, and the others were apparently too obscure to feature in the DB.

    Hi guys
     i have edit a remote to homey and homey learned the codes (learn functie),however it seems of homey transmit nothing.
    is this a know problem or .....



  • bvdbosbvdbos Member
    You can see if it sends an IR-code with you mobile as a videocamera. It gives a bright spot. Try turning Homey a bit. It works for me...
  • ErikBErikB Member
    Thx for the respons  BasVanDenBosch   i try it thx.



  • JohnotteJohnotte Member
    Yesterday I succeded in transmitting an IRF signal to my TV. Distance 30 cm. Today I transmitted the signals 3 meter owith direct lin of sight. No results.
    To me it seems that the software update is not bringing the WOW-factor.
    Also my learned infrared transmitters look like a bit clumsy as a device. No way to operate it as a remote.

    I'll follow the forum and I hope Homey will grow to his cappability's.
    Bye

    @Johnotte : some IR-enhancement requests and issues:

  • Martijn27Martijn27 Member
    Just an update from my end here: I can use IR pretty effectively now, so I'm a happy camper in that regard. Only thing that doesn't work is the IR for KPN iTV, but that's a known issue. Weird thing is that neither the IR remote that's in the DB works (and also doesn't respond to key presses on the actual remote), nor the learned remote.

    If I try to switch the set top box on, homey complains about the signal it should send with the learned codes (can't recall, something about too short code needing to be odd or something, can reproduce upon request). Nor does the homey send any IR signal to the iTV at all (no light is shown through a camera).

    IR sucks here,  but then looking at the alignment of my unit, it's no wonder. Whiskyworkers?
