Wetek Hub IR Extender

jamm · July 12, 2017 at 3:25 PM

I am convinced that there is a bug relating to the IR extender for the wetek hub on all LE 8.X.X versions where the range is limited to 1ft or 30cm.. The IR extender works fine in all versions LE 7.X.X and Android that I have tried. I have never been happy with the wetek IR remote so I am going to move on to either bluetooth or RF.

If anybody else has this problem I would be glad to provide any information about my hub to help.

codesnake The IR extender that is included with the hub. I have two of them and tried them both.

I have the Wetek Play 2 and bought my parent the Wetek Hub. (now both running LE8.0.2)

No problems with range or use with the Wetek Play 2's remote

The Wetek Hub, while setting the system up I noticed poor range and a couple times that it stopped working; same (unresponsive) reported by my parents (reported a couple times over a month or so).

I haven't performed any further testing.

With a little more testing the problem does not exist in 7.9.008 alpha but does exist in 7.9.010 alpha and all versions of 8 that I have tried. Looks like lirc was implemented in 7.9.009. Coincidence?

jamm Yes, most likely the problem appeared after the switch to lirc. I will check.
