Status Requests

When an Indigo sends a Status Request to an Ex-Link device, the plugin is able to query several settings directly from a supported TV. Unfortunately Ex-Link devices do not provide unsolicited notification of setting changes. If you expect any of these settings to be changed via other mechanisms, the only way to keep Indigo informed is to periodically poll the device for its current status.

Power

The on/off power state of the TV is reflected in the standard Indigo device power state

Selected Input

The currently active input (TV / HDMI1 / SmartHub / etc) is stored in the device variable input. You can find details of input naming on the select input action page.

Current Volume

The current volume is stored in the device variable volume with range 0-100

Current Channel

If the active input is TV, the current tuned channel is stored in device variable channel
