• How to configure

To use that device you need to access your Home Center at your browser, and go to:

Settings > Devices > Click at the "+" blue icon, at the top right corner > Other Devices > Upload File

1. Configure the "ip" and "port" variables of this QuickApp, to do so click on "Close" in the lower right corner, and then click on the "Variables" tab of this QuickApp.
• Keep the "ip" name of the variable, change only its value, with the IP of your IR emitting device
• Also change the "port" variable, set the TCP port used in your sender to the value, most common products:
  • Blastbot: 9999
  • Global Caché: 4998 

2. Also configure the strings to be sent to your sender, you must learn the command and insert it between quotation marks " " in the code so that the entire string turns blue.

    Also note that depending on the IR device, the structure of the String may be different.

   Remembering that the number after the colon(:) is the Global Caché emmiter port (P2 female jack)

3. If you want to control through the slider, it is important to configure the open time, inserting the time in seconds into the "openTime" variable and the closing time into the "closeTime" variable
