Topic: Feature request: Discrete Power On IR code
Thank you for publishing the Infrared remote codes (https://forum.rme-audio.de/viewtopic.php?id=28980). Much appriciated!
One request: Please create a additional code for power on
Right now there seem to be two IR commands regarding power:
Power toggle
Discrete power off
Remote keys hexadecimal binary Full name
Power On 20 00100000 Power Toggle
Power Off 14 00010100 Additional Power Off command
Use case for a discrete "power on" is robustness in scripting and automation. One should be able to send "power on" regardless of current state of device:
If the device is off -> it will turn on
if the device already turned on -> it will stay turned on.
There is no easy way to determine if the device is on or off. And right now one would have to use the "power toggle" command. It will work if the device is turned off. But unfortunately this will occasionally accidentally power off the device if it is already on.
Note that the "power off" command already works like this. It works flawless in simple automations.
Thanks for creating a great product!
