Hi,

I just need help creating a custom menu to turn on/off each 1 of all ports on my 2 boxes in case I lose wireless connectivity.

Thanks,

As far as I know there is no easy way to do this... maybe someone has tackled it.

There's no real easy/simple solution for this. There could be a function that turns off the ports and each time you select the entry, it shuts off the port and automatically jumps to the next one. So you would have to cycle through shutting off each port in sequence. Then have one function created to turn them on in sequence.

The other alternative would be to create a custom function where you would use the joystick to cycle through the ports and then choose ON/OFF for the port. This one would be more memory intense though and take up space like with the standard menu. It could be done, but it would take up memory space and most likely not leave room for a lot of extra stuff unless you are running the Plus.

so how can you control the port(s) without wireless then?

USB connection and use the PC client.

There is also work on the touchscreen interface which should make this type of control much easier.

It would be worthwhile to build a standard me u interface that showed all the relays and let you scroll through with the joystick and toggle on button press...

Its not impossible, just not done yet..

Great - I will do that in an event that I lose wireless connectivity. Thank you!!!

Yes, not done yet. It would definitely add complexity to the code, but like you said...not impossible.
