Creating Activities (Macros): Multi-step actions in one press
The Zentral AV Remote gives you the power to simplify common multi-step routines,
like getting your home entertainment devices ready to watch a movie, to a single
button press, called an Activity or Macro. The Zentral AV Remote can RECORD all the
steps and turn the whole process into a single command.
Getting ready
Before you start, go through the steps of the activity you want to record. Make sure all
the steps work, and that you can go through them without mistakes.
Recording the activity
Note:
For best results both recording and using your activities, use the same “base” state as a
starting point. For example, you could have all your devices on and have the TV on a certain input
before you start recording or executing any activity.
