ok thanks, so it sounds like I just have to get the new IR codes into the Control4 controller with the Z12 remote? Is that correct?

Hello,

I have a Z8 box I am replacing with a Z12 Ultra. My Z8 box is located in a central server room that allows me to pipe the output from it to several different TV’s (via a HDMI splitter) in my house at the same time, eg Living Room and Back Porch. There is a Control4 system that has an IR eye connected to the Z8 box. I want to continue to use the Control4 system as I have several of these remotes and they are all programmed to control the Z8. Problem is no matter what I do I cannot get the Z12 box to respond to the Z8 IR remote, or when I put the BT Universal remote that came with the Z12ultra box in IR mode the Z12 ultra box wont respond to it either. I placed the Z12 on a table with a monitor and have direct line of sight to it from the remote, still doesn’t respond to IR.

I’ve read on line you can control the Z12 Ultra with a formuler IR remoter but I cannot get this to work

Is there a setting or a key sequence I need to perform to get the Z12 to fully respond to IR commands, I do not want to use Bluetooth, as goal is to use the Control4 IR eye to control it. I have put the Z12 Ultra remote in IR mode by pressing and holding top left button (TV/STB) for two seconds it flashes red when buttons are pressed so this is telling me its in IR mode.

Any help really appreciated.

Thanks,

Gowan.
