Hi can anyone help with this I cannot get volume working apart from single steps with each twist.

I know it's the piece for multiple volume steps up.

Cheers all

I've tried this too.

I couldn't make it work without continual turns as you're describing.

This is not directly an answer to your specific goal, but it's the answer that I got from Henrik, the creator of the MLGW/BLGW when I asked him about creating macros to control volume with continuous button presses using Lutron RadioRa 2 keypads. Henrik pointed out a very good point cautioning of the danger of creating macros for continuous volume increase in that there is a possibility that the "button release" macro might not get detected for whatever reason. In such a scenario, the volume increase could go out of control!

Here is the solution Henrik provided for me:

"Keeping the above in mind you could potentially implement it using the Scheduler in the old MLGW  

Macro 1
Lutron press = Vol+ and start SchedulerA (a continuous scheduler)

Macro 2
SchedulerA = Vol+

Macro 3 
Lutron release = Stop SchedulerA "

Hi chaps. I may have missed this in a more recent thread - but did anyone solve this or is it a variant of @beojeff's solution (although I guess the Essence Remote doesn't send a RELEASE command when you stop turning it)? Cheers, Chris

Has anyone cracked a decent macro yet for the Essence remote controlling volume in IR mode(as smoothly as it does in BT mode)?

I have not

This is unfortunately a hard solve.

Darn it, as it would be great to use the other buttons for home control as well as music but the ring still makes most sense for volume.

I'm curious how how others have set this up the work best possible way? Unsure

4 separate macros with Vol up + Vol down + Vol up-repeat + vol down-repeat?

Do you tick [Match CONTINUE..] in repeat-macro?

Any other tricks? Confused

Hello

From the Beta testing of the BLGW I understand that IR volume up by using a IR remote is not possible

The reason for this is that it's not reliable enough and the Essence remote will not provide a constant signal like the beofemotr one or beo4 does.

I had this same problem years ago when I used Lintronic it seems volume long presses have always been an issue

Has anyone come up with anything for this yet? I might have a play this weekend as might be more possible with the more complex LUA coding available.

Beware. You could inadvertently discover just how loud your BeoLabs can get!
