What dongle are you talking about ? All i have is my ps3 remote..

This ps3remotesleep program doesn't seem to work with the new generation of ps3 remotes... mine seems to reconnect automatically right after it is disconnected...

and how do you get the commands to repeat? like when scrolling up and down, pushing down only does one instance of down, not multiple...

I'm sorry I don't have one of the newer remotes to test with. How did you realize that the remote reconnects by itself?

in eventghost, when the ps3remote program runs it says hid device disconnected, then about 2 seconds after it says hid device reconnected. not sure if this is normal or not, but I do have a delay in the first button press after this happens.

any ideas on the repeat option?

You're in luck. Thats the normal behaviour. The device re-appearing is just the bluetooth service starting up again.

ok, good, so any way to get it to do repeats?

Place a "Autorepeat current macro" action in the macro:
Start first repetition after 0.60 seconds
with one repetition every 0.30 seconds

Would it be possible for someone to post their complete EventGhost xml file (with xbmc/ps3 remote keymappings) and the included code for the remote sleep? A simple step by step setup would be nice too Wink

. I just think it would tiddy up the thread a bit.

Thanks everyone for their hard work.

worked awesome, thanks... next question.. does it work for windows 7 x64?

Does this remote work for actual windows function. Can I launch xbmc from the window screen? What about range I'm a out 40ft from my htpc.
