Remote

The Remote interface module represents the logical state of a physical remote such as a Crestron HR-150.

Summary

Exactly one Remote interface module is associated to exactly one physical remote. A Remote interface modules is intended to be used by an single room (rather than by multiple rooms as in the case of iPads which "float"), so by default they are scoped to a room through the "Default Rooms" parameter. Since the Remote module was built to resemble the actual HR-150 module, their signal slots directly correlate. Since the Remote module is scoped to a single room, its button presses control one of the sources in that room -- the source currently selected.

Lighting can also be easily added to this module if a lighting scene has been created for the room to which the physical remote belongs. This is possible because, again, the Remote module is scoped to a logical room, so it is to pair it with a lighting scene also belonging to that room.

Tutorial

Configure the ID and Default Room parameters. Both should use a two-digit, zero-padded number between 1 and 99 (01 or 99) with the latter being the ID of the logical room representing the physical room to which the physical remote associated with the Remote logic module will belong. That is, physical room has a physical remote; logical room representing the former has a logical remote representing the latter.

Parameters Source 01 through Source 08 should also use a two-digit, zero-padded number between 1 and 99, or FF for unused source slots, with the numbers representing the IDs of the Source models available to that room (recall that a Room model has a parameter that tells it the Source models to which it can connect).

Then simply link the required signals to their obvious counterparts on the HR-150 equipment module.

Notes

By default, source selection is placed on the 8 "Custom" buttons that sit at the top of the HR-150. Top left is 1, top right is 2, second row left is 3, second row right is 4, and so on.
