Quick Start Guide

Last updated 1 year ago

Getting Started with the Wizard

  1. Launch the Skip App software and you will be sent immediately to the Getting Started Wizard

  2. Connect your remote using the provided USB cable

  3. Name your Skip 1s remote

Your remote’s name should help you remember where you will use your remote. For example, you could name it Living Room Remote or Bedroom Remote. Of course, you could really name it anything you like, perhaps The Jolly Roger! It's up to you.

Setting Up an Activity

Your Skip 1s Remote can have three “activities.” You can change between them by pressing the A, B, and C buttons at the top of your remote.

It's noteworthy that when you change between activities by hitting these buttons, your remote does not send any signals. Hitting the B button simply changes what all of your remote buttons do, it does not send any commands to your media center devices.

Now we’ll go through the process of setting up your first activity.

Select one of the available activities.

  • Click Add Device and then select from the available categories.

If you aren’t sure which category your device falls under, just make your best guess. In many cases, devices can be found under multiple categories for easier searching.

  • Select your Brand and Model

If your exact model isn’t shown, don't worry! Most brands re-use codes between models or use code groups, like the one pictured above. Select the model that seems best. Now point your connected remote at the device and click the Test Device button shown above. If it turns the device on or off, your selection was correct! If not, try another model.

Once you’ve finished selecting all your devices, continue to the Map Your Devices page and answer the questions.
