Can IRSS capture the response to a serial command? (1 Viewer)

[doug]

Hi,
First off, IRSS is awesome. I use it to capture IR (via WinLIRC) from 3 remotes...one to control MediaPortal exclusively and two that control both my TV via RS-232 and MediaPortal.

Sending RS-232 to the TV works great. But I can't see a way to capture the response from the TV via serial commands. Is it possible? I'd like to do this because a few of the features (e.g., audio mute) have discreet commands to turn them on and off rather than one command that toggles on/off. In some cases, I need to determine the status of the feature (via RS-232) so I can issue the appropriate command to turn it on or off. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks!
Doug

I guess with no one responding, the answer is no...so I'll look for a different solution...

Has anyone successfully used IRSS to launch another application that can send and receive via a serial port and allow me to import the data back to IRSS to use in a macro?

Thanks again?

Have you considered something other than IRSS, for example EventGhost ?

This program also has a plugin to manage the serial port, maybe it could be for you.

cool! Thanks. EventGhost looks very functional. I think I can use it to do so other things too that I hadn't planned to.
