Possible to add a code? For IPronto remote

[Grimmace]

I have an IPronto remote and it seems for the moment that I cannot make a long duration signal in a macro to turn the PS3 off automatically. I can press and hold the button to get to turning off the system. I am seeing if there is a way around this and trying different things. The question I have is based on the Sony 26.73 and 26.218 code set you are using, could the IR code for Discrete Off be added to the PS3IR-PRO that would then cause a sequence of BT codes to be submitted. So, the Discrete Off IR code is sent and the PS3IR-PRO sends a 2 second PS button command followed by a .5 sec pause, the X button, .5 sec pause and then X button again to shut down the PS3? The command code would be 47 I believe.

I got mine today and everything works great! Thanks.

Yes, that is planned for a future version of the firmware.

Great, and since we can ask, what about the sequence to just exit from games etc. With the two you could macro exit out of anything. Thanks.

There is a six step sequence (macro) that will shutdown from all states, game, movie, xbm.

I thought about that, but isn't really just a combination of the exit and shutdown macros? You could just put them together to get the end result. Or, is it a different series of codes?

It's not quite the same (you never actually exit the game to the XMB), but is a combination that works in all cases, regardless of the existing state of the PS3.

    PS, Down, Down, PS (3s), X, X

The initial PS, Down, Down gets to an exit system option when in a game, otherwise, it just moves down twice on whatever screen you are on.  But the exit game option is never chosen.  Next, the PS held down does nothing when coming from a game, but gets to the same exit system option otherwise.  Then the X, X shuts down in either case.

You could execute two steps, first exiting a game and then shutting down the system, but you'd have to manually know when you were in a game, otherwise the sequence after the initial PS to actually exit the game could trigger other actions (since it involves X) when not currently in a game.
