Doing More than Only Turn on and OFF TV

[rajdpandey]

Hi,

I want to do more than just turning ON or OFF the TV. After turning ON TV when I say "Alexa Increase the TV volume" or "Alexa, mute the tv" etc it should also work for that.

So how can I implement these?

You need to record the specific IR code emitted from your remote for volume up or down and then configure that code to fire through your NodeMCU when you ask alexa to do so..

Hi,

Can you please say if this is correct for the Increasing and decreasing volume and for mute?
lightOne = new Switch("TV", 3611, lightOneOn, lightOneOff);
lightTwo = new Switch("HDMI", 3612, lightTwoOn, lightTwoOff);
lightThree = newSwitch("VOLUME",3613,IncreaseVol,DecreaseVol)
lightFour = newSwitch("MUTE",3614,MuteVol,UnmuteVol)

Is this right for Increase Volume of TV, Decreasing Volume and making it Mute?
Please provide your insights...
If above is right then I can do rest of sending code function and all.

Yes correct, doesnt matter what u call it. Just initialize callbacks etc., same as other switches.

If possible can you try it so you will also have some insight and you will know better how to tweak if it goes south?

It's a simple piece of code, just experiment! I might do a youtube video, don't be so scared of failing lol
