Turn on receiver with IT-blaster when changing output to optical?

[wressens]

Trying to make the universal remote function work a bit better. I have the IR extension so that I can turn on my receiver in the cabinet. I press the 3 dots menu and can turn it on and off there.

But it would be awesome to make a button that turns the receiver on and changes to optical output. Would be nice to get the tv to turn of the receiver as well. But I guess I have to use a smart outlet for that.

Hi, i guess what you should try is to use the remoteSequenceButtons, that allows you to create a switch with which you can then do a sequence of button presses, so you should be able to replicate the same as you do with the remote.

Just cant seem to find that 3 dot menu "more actions" in the list of remote buttons. Do you know whats its called?

I unfortunately also do not know, you should try a couple of those and see if it is the correct one. I listed all the remote control action which i could find, it might be that i did not found the name of the one which you look or it does not exists. Sometimes they have descriptive names, so it might also be worth to do try and error...
