I am using a IP2IR from itach. where i can program several buttons within a VD. So also the Power on/off from my TV. (standby and on) the disadvantage of IR is no feedback. So eventually the IR doesn't know if the TV is on or off.
And i am using the qubino Flush 1D Relay to switch on/off my AV equipment, including TV, apple TV, cable decoder, etc..
I programmed a couple of scene's like : "Watch TV" ,and "Watch a Movie"
By both scene's with lua blocks I turned on the TV and set the lights, and the input of the Amplifier, etc...
When i swap over to "Watch a movie" it will switch off my TV again. as it sents a IR code to turn on the TV, which is also the same code for turning off the TV.
Now i was thinking, what if i make a scene where the Flush 1D relay module can measure what power consumption it has to be able to set the state of the TV i= on or standby...
But within the parameters of the Flush 1D relay module there you can only add a "declared power consumption" which in my case isn't set, because i switch on the TV or the apple TV and my power consumption will go up or down.
Is there another way to measure if my TV is on or standby. so that my scene knows when the TV is on ? Or do I have to use another fibaro module to measure the power consumption ?
Using a HC2 from Fibaro
Hope to hear from you
