Anyone knows how to send "long" ir commands from a macro? For instance I need to send "Play" for 2 seconds to bring up the channal list on my TV, or send "Play" for 2 seconds to bring up the content list on my HDR-2, or send "Red" for 1 second to turn off lights in my home control system.

If this possible to program to a buttom in BEO5?

Hi Ken

I have not HDR-2, but in my BV7, i can see the channels list using the center button for 2 seconds. Maybe is the same with HDR-2.

Hi Ken, 

The beo5 configuration tool software let you set "continuous" IR commands in macros for on-screen keys, no problem there.

But sometimes that's simply not necessary at all; in your example: to send "Play" for 2 seconds to bring up the channal list on my TV as Quim said, you can use the beo5 central hard key in the same way than beo4...pressing it for 2 seconds will active the on-screen tv channel list , same thing for the HDR2 example pressing quick twice central keys in beo4 or beo5 works exactly in the same way.

Santiago, Quim,

Thanks.

I'm aware of the "Continuos" setting in the config tool, but as I sse it it only send the key as long as i hold it down. What I want is to send "long" key strokes by a single shor press on the key or part of a macro sequense. It could be a single buttom that turns on a HDR-2 and bring up the content list This is just an example (I know this actually possible with-out sending a "long" key stroke.

My real problem is with my home automation system. That require long key strokes for some functions, and I want to group a number of functions together and assign these to a single buttom.
