TYM Smart Homes & Home Theaters Goodmorning, i have the Savant cru-0100-0011, i have a issue and i would need your help please. I have a iptv box (no brand) and is there any way to copy commands from iptv remote to savant? Thanks in advance
I have three Samsung digital signage displays(monitors) and I have no remote. I have RS232c ports and PC/laptops BUT I don't know how to control them using what I have. Is there any software people can recommend for controlling the displays?
Hi guys… I already have an Ip controled tv (Sharp) and i plan to replace it by a larger one; Sony, Samsung, Panasonic… I don't know yet. I'm a devolopper so I know about TCP/IP etc. But i always strugle to find the technotes with codes and protocols… Is there a special place on the net where I could find all of these technical info I need ? Thanks for your help. Roland, from Paris, France.
IF I have a harmony elite and my tv/projector is in one room and my equipment rack is in an adjacent room behind a sheetrock wall will it work? If I place one of the included two ir blasters through the wall will that help?Thanks. Love the channel!
I want to buy and find info (videos) of IR Control for my Atlota Matrix 6x6...but I cant find anything in google...please direct me to where I can find these IR Controls and videos of how they work. Thanks
Luis no videos yet that I'm aware of, imagine Atlona may have some on their site or TH-cam. We do have a Private Group we're launching soon, where we will help Clients with this very kind of thing. And I'll add it to the roadmap of videos for this channel
Thanks for the info. How would control over CAT5e/ CAT6 work with control and video distribution? I am building a new home and am wondering what I need for it.....
Michael Hendricks it depends a little bit on the specific solution you use for Video Distribution. But in general you’re able to send Video and Control over the Cat5e/6 with baluns. If you don’t know what system you’re using we recommend running 3 cat6 per TV.
Michael Hendricks when you use a system like Control4, Savant, or URC and you send a command to the TV, it will send the commands via the video distribution. Some instances we can send hook the Cat5/6 straight into the Control4/Savant and send commands that way, or over the network. Just kind of depends on the application as a whole - hope that helps
Thanks, it does. I am planning to use Control4 and am buying all new TVs (Probably Samsung) 3 cat6 (2 shielded). Builder won't let me go outside their low voltage vendor. Thanks for the info, again!
Michael Hendricks haha that’s alright. We can always help after the joke closes ;) and we recommend shielded in our book, but honestly you’ll be ok with Cat6.
Love your videos! Currently working with an Integrator in Dallas, TX for a Theater, Family Room, and Master Bedroom setup including Savant. My requirement has been that all devices are IP controllable. I already have two Samsung TV’s which we have confirmed are IP controllable. We’ve also selected AVR’s and a Projector which has been confirmed. Do you know if there is a list of devices published that are IP controllable with Savant? Or can you confirm if an AppleTV would be? Also, any recommendations for BluRay players and TV service that has IP controllable boxes (I believe my local options are Comcast, U-verse, or DirecTV)? Thanks!
Kyle Filley thx for the support and for watching. We really appreciate it. Apple TV is IR, some non supported work arounds but as a general rule it’s IT. Same with Comcast. Direct TV is IP. Not sure on Uverse- and we’re talking about putting together some lists people can reference but hasn’t happened yet.
Kyle Filley Roku supports IP control and works well. We use Apple TV inside of Savant systems all the time, and while it’s IR it still responds really well. Here’s what our CTO said on Direct TV, and your guys can verify it inside of Savants tool for drivers - DirecTV works very well via IP. The small genie client boxes don’t turn on via IP though. So some integrators choose to use IR instead which works well. We usually turn power savings off so the box doesn’t go to sleep. Then IP works very well, but you use a little more energy. Also if there is a power outage you may need to manually turn the DirecTV box back on, never had a client have an issue with it
hello Matt great video thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have a question regarding my remote for my Sky Q box. the remotes a Bluetooth remote. I'm just curious as to how you can control the Sky box in a media rack in amothernpart of the house when it is out of the range that Bluetooth is capable of? hope this question makes sense.
If I want to pre-wire for RS232 control, what kind of wire should I run (just an RS232 cable or is there some other cable that can be run and an adapter placed on the end). Also, is there a list or easy way to search for TVs that support RS232 or IP control?
Great Video, someone commented on using Logitech universal remotes. Although they do work most of the time they are not foolproof. If the state of the TV changes it will go out of sync and you would have to resync the remote and try again. That is why I replaced my Logitech remote in the HT with a control4 EA1 system. As long a IP is set as a static addresses I have not have any issue in several months. Good Luck. PM
Granted, IR doesn't offer two-way control like RS-232 and IP, but IR can work well IF the device supports discrete ON and OFF control commands. Your discussion, I think, glosses over this and gives the impression that all IR devices only support the toggle ON/OFF command and therefore are incapable of discrete ON and OFF commands. While this is true with some devices (usually very inexpensive ones), it's not true for most mid-tier and above devices. I know this video is not intended to be a master course in device control, and some details need to be abbreviated for time/clarity reasons.
Hello Tym great informative video concise and informative. Only question it left me with is, What do you use to control your TV through IP? i.e. are there software programs for your computer or??? Which I guess makes me think of another question but I'm sure it has to be a yes but does that mean I can control my TV from anywhere online? Thanks!
I actually already use it in all my rooms except for the main home theater - I just know there's a lot of confusion out there due to poor marketing and think people would be well served to understand it better.
Never experienced that issue with a Logitech Harmony IR remote... And I have alot of units to control.. That's why you buy a Logitech and not a cheap crappy universal remote
Thanks for watching our Video on TV Control, what is RS232, IR and IP. If you have any questions let us know.

It's asking for an IP profile number. I don't know it?

The Sony 1000 4K blu-ray supports IP control. Sure there are others but that’s usually our go to if a Client is planning on 4K.
what about Apple TV is it only IR? it has a data port, can this be used for control?

gruntman1985 run cat6 - not really a resource I’m aware of. We’re working on a tv list right now of ones we prefer, but couple weeks out still

...where we've COME from...
Thanks a lot for the video. Great tempo! A quick question. Can RS232 power on a TV?
Yes it can. Take a look at the commands at support.justaddpower.com/kb/article/245-samsung-rs232-control-rs232c/
How do I get IR number
I'm having same problem. Never came across this before. Won't let me move forward until I put an IR Profile number. Don't know it? Please help?
Ok no videos but does anybody know about any simple IR control?
Would love to see a similar video about HDMI-CEC someday!
metroidfan220 we’ll put it on the road map for sure. Any specific applications you’re looking to use it?
I actually already use it in all my rooms except for the main home theater - I just know there's a lot of confusion out there due to poor marketing and think people would be well served to understand it better.
Sanyo ir number??
You can't see IR light... The LED diode that is blinking on the Tv is just a indicator that signal is recived and have nothing to do with IR.
Never experienced that issue with a Logitech Harmony IR remote... And I have alot of units to control.. That's why you buy a Logitech and not a cheap crappy universal remote
You have great videos but the problem is talking a lot without any illustrations. Thanks for the info.
Holy shit, you just explained how a tv remote works. I guess I'm at the wrong location.
