Using Variables for Devices that have Power Toggle
The key to using this technique is reliable IP communication between the MX-iOS and the MRX Base Station.
This is typically used to track Power ON devices that do not have discrete power commands (i.e. toggle-only).
Fundamentally, you are going to program the MX-iOS device to track whether the component (a Cable Box in
this example) is On or Off, and only issue the toggle type Power command when needed.
Note:
The system
can easily get out of sync if the client turns on the TV with another remote control or manually.
