Script Result Question and the DIY Interface is Cool

[Sean Lavigne]

When we built our house a few years ago I wanted all of the TV components (mostly the satellite and TiVo boxes) out of view.  We ended up running HDMI from the main bedroom and living room (which share a common wall) down to the basement study/tornado shelter (right below that wall) where we put the media cabinet.  I found a 4x4 HDMI Matrix on Amazon and programmed the Harmony remotes to change the input, as needed.  With the new Apple Remote, we’ve stopped using the Harmony and I thought about finding a new HDMI Matrix which would accept commands over IP.  It turns out the unit I have does have an ethernet port and can already accept hex commands over IP.  A huge thank you to James for building the DIY interface into XTension!  Now I have a couple buttons of each room’s X10 PalmPad remote dedicated to swapping inputs.

While it all appears to work correctly, I did have a question about this error message (in red) in the log after each script execution.  The name of the DIY Interface is 4x4 HDMI Matrix.

2022-12-22 08:30:10  Received ON for Remote - Study Desk TV 2
2022-12-22 08:30:10  I was passed data D3
2022-12-22 08:30:10  4x4 HDMI Matrix: received data but has no script to handle it

This is the on Script for X10 PalmPad Remote Button

set param1 to "D1"
execute script "HDMI Matrix" handler "doSomethingClever" parameters {param1}



This is the Global Script: HDMI Matrix
