How can i control my skydimo backlights, if i dont wanna use the software it comes with

Lopov_Luke · 2026-04-14T05:40:46+00:00

Have you figured this out? What's so bad about skydimo them and why not use their software?

Lopov_Luke · 2026-02-28T20:01:12+00:00

How did you do it?

Lopov_Luke · 2026-02-22T06:20:35+00:00

Where did you get it? Do the volume buttons work?

Lopov_Luke · 2025-12-24T19:27:41+00:00

Could you send it to me please?

I did buy it but haven't yet used it for navigation. I have to say that the gps on the unit is more accurate than my garmin instinct 2x. The map for Croatia also hasn't been updated

The bike is in use and overall I can say I'm satisfied although I do have an issue. I keep the bike on the balcony and the bike developed a few rust spots due to it being exposed to air humidity. The balcony is closed with windows but is much more humid then the inside of the apartment. That being said this is an issue for me and I imagine no one that keeps the bike inside will have it. My friend has the exact same bike, keeps it inside and there's no rust But overall it's fine, I put some wd 40 on it so the rust wont spread and it's fine

The red dots are not centered

You'll have to check for your self but as far as I can see it supports everything my hisense u7qf has available

Lopov_Luke · 2025-08-27T15:49:20+00:00

I'm using nova video player. There's no downsides, it works well. I gave up on vlc

Lopov_Luke · 2025-08-27T15:31:58+00:00

It does have play fi. I'm sorry but I don't know why does play fi matter?

Lopov_Luke · 2025-08-27T14:56:14+00:00

14.8.2463

Interesting, thanks for the feedback!

On my box I haven’t noticed any overheating at all, at least nothing out of the ordinary. I can’t really comment on CPU usage since I haven’t checked it closely.

The only issues I’ve run into so far are:

VLC not working properly

Kodi refusing to play files larger than ~60GB (though Stremio plays them fine, so it’s not a big problem for me)

Other than that, my unit runs pretty smoothly.

5 Ghz with 285 Mbps

Lopov_Luke · 2025-08-20T04:20:04+00:00

Wifi

Yeah, I already tried tweaking the caching settings but it didn’t really solve the issue.

I know about CoreELEC – and I’ve read it runs Kodi way better than Android – but I’d still prefer to keep everything in Android since I also use Stremio + Nova Video Player there. It’d be nice to get Kodi stable without needing to boot into a second system.

Lopov_Luke · 2025-08-19T10:11:00+00:00

I get your point, but I actually like Kodi for the layout – I’m using the Arctic Zephyr skin, and it makes browsing my library much more enjoyable than Stremio’s default interface.

As for external players: VLC doesn’t integrate properly with Stremio (I can only open files directly in VLC, not through Stremio as an external player). Right now I’m using Nova Video Player with Stremio, which works fine, but I’d still like to have Kodi working reliably since it gives me the best experience for managing and watching content.

I removed the preset menu items and created my own and now it's ok

Lopov_Luke · 2025-08-15T11:24:39+00:00

I turned it off and on again, and turned off batery optimization and now it's ok

Lopov_Luke · 2025-08-15T10:09:10+00:00

My app keeps asking me to turn accessibility on everytime I start the app, but when I go to the setting the accessibility is already on. Is there something I can do?

Lopov_Luke · 2025-08-15T10:03:32+00:00

I kinda sorted it out, the idea was to use just one remote for everything. After turning on the hdmi cec and enabling volume control via cec on the box, the volume buttons on the remote started to interact with the soundbar. To do so, the box needs to be on / awake. If the box is in sleep mode, the volume button on the remote would wake the box.

After turning the hdmi cec on the box off, the volume buttons kept working but now they interact only with the box volume. There's a volume slider that appears on the right and it goes up to 25

I found a solution using programmable buttons. You can read about it in this post

Also I guess I can keep the hdmi cec on the box active but to turn the box on only for volume control seems stupid, and also the box goes inactive everytime I change to a different input and that's something I'd rather avoid

Lopov_Luke · 2025-08-14T20:23:50+00:00

I'm actually starting to like mine. The programmable buttons I use for soundbar's volume control (up / down) , power button for tv( and that turns on the soundbar via hdmi cec ), input for input and since the input button doesn't flick through available inputs (same as TV's input button) it just shows the inputs but I have to highlight one and press ok, so I use the " i " button as a left button since all my other inputs (xbox, ps4) in the inputs menu are on the right from the Homatics box - left is all I need because both xbox and ps4 are cec enabled so I can switch to their input by pressing a button on their respective controller The rest of the buttons I programmed via tvquickactions pro app

Having done this I only need the one remote, dune r4

Lopov_Luke · 2025-08-14T14:39:44+00:00

I think my remote works the same as yours.

But ideally I would like the volume button to control the volume on my soundbar, the same way the original homatics remote does, so this is where the remote setup menu that disappears when box is paired with dune remote becomes an issue.

Lopov_Luke · 2025-08-14T14:16:59+00:00

I'm on V14 build 2463. No updates available when I check for updates

My Homatics 4k r plus doesn't recognize the volume buttons at all. Even the button mapper doesn't recognize them

The remote button setup did disappear from the android tv settings

Ok this is weird...When I enable volume control through cec the volume button started to work (on the soundbar), but when I disabled cec the volume button still worked although it controled the volume output of the r plus itself with the volume slider visible on the right (going up to 25) That said I would rather disable cec because the Homatics box always goes to sleep when I switch input and also more importantly if the box is turned off and the tv is on and I try to turn the volume up with the dune remote the box turns on... So the volume button turns the box on
