Martin, you are close. You have the macro's set correctly but you have to set the variable now. To do that, you will have to do this in each macro:

Click the variable tab


Click on the variable we wish to set, and in this case select True


It will look like this in your macro window


Notice that we were on the False tab, and that we were in the TV is On variable that you set up. We will now do the same exact thing under the True tab.


What this does is tell the remote after either the false macro or true macro is run, that we want to set that variable to True. Now if you press a button which has a TV is ON variable macro, it will know to run the macro in the True tab.

Now in order to ensure this works, make sure you set the variable properly on any macro you wish to track the variable. On you System OFF macros, you want to add a set variable command to false, like this


Once this button is pressed, it will set the TV is ON variable to False so that the next time you press a button with a TV is ON variable, it will run the macro in the False tab.

I noticed you have copied your System Off macro into the off button within each device. This works fine but since you are sending the same commands, it would be easier for you to use the punch through to set your system off in all those different devices/activities. This way you only have to edit it once.

Hope this helps.
