Centro C / CM Commands
To send project commands to a Centro-C / CM, first add the Centro device to your project. The communication port for the Centro (7500) will be entered automatically, though you will still need to enter the IP address of the Centro:
Next, access the pre-defined commands section. You will notice that Centro devices already have folders set up within the pre-defined command section:
Relays
You cannot rename the Relays
folder. This folder contains the standard commands for opening and closing the Centro relays, which you can test with the Test Command
feature.
Infra-Red
These folders are named IR Port 01
up to the number of IR output ports on the Centro. Whilst you cannot completely change the name of these folders, you can add to their names to make it easier to locate
commands throughout the solution. For example, you may wish to rename a folder: IR Port 01 - Lounge TV
which is permitted.
Infra-red commands, in either Pronto Raw (starting 0000
) or Global Cache (starting sendir
) may be added or imported to these folders. If importing, be sure to select the folder by left-clicking the folder
first, before clicking Import from File
, to ensure that they are imported into the correct place.
It is strongly recommended to use the Name Prefix
option to precede imported commands with a unique identifier, both to aid in the use of the commands throughout the software, but also to prevent commands in other
folders being overridden.
- Note - the IR folder within pre-defined commands determines which IR output port the commands will be emitted from. There is no need to alter the
sendir,x:x
portion of any Global Cache commands (which, if sending to a global cache device, determines which port the code is emitted from). If you import IR codes into theIR Port 03
folder for example, then they will always come out of port 3.
