Tivo Binding

Add-ons Bindings
1

I am new to Openhab. I have been setting up the Tivo binding, I have a 6 tuner Tivo Roamio and 3 Tivo mini’s.

I have one of the mini’s working pretty well with the Tivo binding with a few exceptions that I’ll describe below.

My first question is Can I control four different Tivos? If so, how do I do this?

The Tivo binding documentation says that it was developed on an older unit, that uses the older v1.0 protocol. My Tivo uses the newer v1.1 protocol.

Most of the commands that I have tried work. But I can’t get these to work: Live TV, Thumbs Up, and Thumbs Down.

Also, the following commands need to be added: Up, Down, Left, Right, Select, Orange, Blue, Red, Green, Exit. I believe the commands are coded into the jar file.

The documentation from the manufacturer is:
