It might be that your normal TV-Remote sends multiple/different signals per on/off button press that have to be captured. What TV-Set do you have?

So, im having some trouble with my kymera wand. When i do a motion my tv-set recieves the signal and does the command, however, it wont repeat. Fx. I can turn the tv on, but i cant turn it off before doing another motion first. Please help. Peter Hi. So, im having some trouble with my kymera wand.

The small buzzes just count the gesture number. I assume that indadvertedly the wrong code was programmed to the gesture. If I read your comment correctly you tried the twist and the tap commands for channel changing? A few devices have problems with the pulses coming from the wand, as they work on alternating signals. For those it has been helpful to use the "secret" multi-command feature of the wand. You can put more than one command on one gesture if you press the buttons in quick succession while programming. That can be used to put the channel changing and one other (doing nothing) button on a single wand gesture. (see here <a href="http://www.kymera-wand.com/2009/12/the-wandmaker-on-virgin-cable-box-remotes/" rel="nofollow">http://www.kymera-wand.com/2009/12/the-wandmaker-on-virgin-cable-box-remotes/</a>) Hope that helps Michael Tom,

So, the only channel changing i can do is to gesture up and it goes down. ive carefully confirmed that i am performing the correct gesture during programming AND when in use. Can you please advise? thanks, tom Hello,

You can reset it easily by going into learning mode, then doing one gesture and when it starts pulsing rapidly just do a big swish, then there should be a big pulse and all programmed codes should be gone. Hope that helps, if not drop me an email Michael How do you tell?

I too have opened my wand this xmas morn and all gestures apart from rotation seem to be working?! Could the 'clever but senstive switch/gyro thingy' have been damaged in transit all the way to Australia? Is there a way to do a global reset, recalibration? Please help.

So its meant to be used before starting to teach the wand. There is a <a href="http://www.wand-control.com/blog/2009/10/important-online-manual-update-from-wandmaker-chris-barnardo/" rel="nofollow">means to get rid of all commands as mentioned in the manual</a> (do a big swish instead of teaching an IR command) - never tried that myself.

As Richard describes it in this <a href="http://www.wand-control.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6" rel="nofollow">forum post</a> it takes about 90 degrees and no other actions to recognize the rotation.

I'm running across two issues: 1. I'm having a rough time getting the rotations (1 and 2) right. Once I get one, I can repeat it or can go the other direction with ease, but I'm having a hard time with them. The one thing I've noted is that you need to rotate it only a very short distance, but it takes me a lot of messing around to get it to work the first time. My wife is having the same problem. We can both get all the other commands pretty reliably at this point. 2. When you pick the wand up, it starts sending commands as you move it into position. Is there a workaround for this?
