Feature requests

1- Two new triggers as discussed here:

  • Touchpad Ring Movement to Left
  • Touchpad Ring Movement to Right

2- Two new actions:

  • Disable Siri Remote
  • Enable Siri Remote

Suggestions

Change the main labels of the actions menu to see clearly the different versions of Siri Remote:

  • Siri Remote 1st gen Buttons
  • Siri Remote 1st gen Touchpad
  • Siri Remote 2nd & 3rd gen Buttons
  • Siri Remote 2nd & 3rd gen Touchpad

Bugs

1- All triggers that I am using from ”Siri Remote 2nd & 3rd gen Buttons” and ”Siri Remote 2nd & 3rd gen Touchpad” are labelled ”In use” in the 2nd & 3rd gen menu but also in the 1st gen menu. I wonder if it’s by design or an issue:

2- The following triggers are only in the ”Siri Remote 1st gen Touchpad” menu. They are missing in the ”Siri Remote 2nd & 3rd gen Touchpad” menu:

  • 1 Finger Click
  • 1 Finger Click Left
  • 1 Finger Click Right
  • 1 Finger Click Top
  • 1 Finger Click Bottom
  • 1 Finger Click&hold
  • 1 Finger Click&hold Left
  • 1 Finger Click&hold Right
  • 1 Finger Click&hold Top
  • 1 Finger Click&hold Bottom

3- I can select the triggers ”1 Finger Click” or ”1 Finger Click&hold” from the ”Siri Remote 1st gen Touchpad” menu and they work perfectly with my Siri Remote 3rd gen. But the following triggers from ”Siri Remote 1st gen Touchpad” are not working with my Siri Remote 3rd gen:

  • 1 Finger Click Left
  • 1 Finger Click Right
  • 1 Finger Click Top
  • 1 Finger Click Bottom
  • 1 Finger Click&hold Left
  • 1 Finger Click&hold Right
  • 1 Finger Click&hold Top
  • 1 Finger Click&hold Bottom

4- The ”Repeat Assigned Action” option is not available in the following triggers:

  • Button TV Screen
  • Button TV Screen &hold
  • Button Menu/Back
  • Button Menu/Back &hold
  • Button Microphone
  • Button Microphone &hold
  • Button Play/pause
  • Button Play/pause &hold
  • Button VolumeUp
  • Button VolumeUp &hold
  • Button VolumeDown
  • Button VolumeDown &hold
  • 1 Finger Click

5- ”Mute” and ”Mute & hold” triggers are not showing the icon when ”Show HUD overlay with icon when triggered” is checked in the ”Basic Config” tab.

ah if the touch based triggers are not working, maybe I haven’t added the correct identifiers for your model. Could you go to Help -> Export Diagnostic Debug Information and send the logs to me? (andreas@folivora.ai). Then I can extract the ID and add it to support these as well

  • 1 Finger Click Left
  • 1 Finger Click Right
  • 1 Finger Click Top
  • 1 Finger Click Bottom
  • 1 Finger Click&hold Left
  • 1 Finger Click&hold Right
  • 1 Finger Click&hold Top
  • 1 Finger Click&hold Bottom

I will restructure the menu soon. There is a lot of overlap of the gestures and / or buttons. Most are exactly the same but have different names or icons

Thank you! I'll have a look soon.
However it seems it's the Siri Remote 2 identifier, so it should already work, but maybe something is missing.

Just to be sure:

  • 1 Finger Click Left
  • 1 Finger Click Right
  • 1 Finger Click Top
  • 1 Finger Click Bottom

These will only work if no standard 1 Finger Click is configured. Otherwise the 1 Finger Click will always be executed instead. Same for the hold one.

Yes, confirmed that if I don't configure "1 Finger Click" and I don't configure "1 Finger Click and Hold", the following ones are not working for my Siri Remote 3rd gen:

  • 1 Finger Click Left
  • 1 Finger Click Right
  • 1 Finger Click Top
  • 1 Finger Click Bottom
  • 1 Finger Click&hold Left
  • 1 Finger Click&hold Right
  • 1 Finger Click&hold Top
  • 1 Finger Click&hold Bottom

I am experiencing another issue that I think it's critical.

Set this config for the Touchpad:

  • Button Up: execute action "A" enabling action repetition while the Touchpad is touched

  • Button Down: execute action "B" enabling action repetition while the Touchpad is touched

Then I press Touchpad Up keeping my finger there. Action "A" is repeated.

Then I move my finger until Touchpad Down, always touching the Touchpad so action "A" is repeating. Then I press Touchpad Down.

Action "B" is executed once, and action "A" keeps executing the repetition.

In this case, I think action "A" should stop the repetition and action "B" should start the repetition.

I finally found my Siri Remotes again (put them in some box and forgot where I put that box)

The thing with these is that the Siri Remote 2 and 3 have this round trackpad with the buttons overlayed over the trackpad. Because of this these gestures are located in the "Buttons" category for these new models.

I.e. 1 Finger Click Left is "Button: Left" for the newer Siri Remotes. 1 Finger Click&hold Left would be "Button: Left (Press & Hold)
(Sorry about the incorrect info earlier, I forgot about the trackpad overlaying buttons)

Well noted, thanks

The repeat option should now be available for all buttons in v4.907

:thinking: I tried it with the volume up/down buttons (which call up 1:1 the predefined BTT-actions) and could not detect any effect.
What values should I set for the repetition rate and the delay in this case?

11

which siri remote model do you use?
Any value > 0.01 should work

12

Ah does it maybe only work with the "hold" versions of these buttons?

13

Siri Remote 3. Generation

I have only tested the up/down buttons (click) and if I set values > 0.01, the trigger is executed endlessly, even if I release the buttons.

14

wait, up down or volume up down?

weird, for that one I currently can't think of a reason why it would not stop. Will try with my other remote later!

Great! Can you also take to output a BTT variable for the current Siri Remote mouse movement state (e.g for If-statements)?

18

you can query BTTSiriRemoteMouseModeActive

Ok, thanks!
Unfortunately, BTT currently crashes when configuring the If condition.

that crash might already be resolved in the latest alpha! 🐛 Configuring "Advanced Trigger Conditions" crashes BTT - #10 by fortred2
