It would be really great if you could add some points to the documentation (help).
E.g. what are the exact differences of the commands "H press", "H hold" and "H release" to "H Command"?
How do "H Press", "H hold" and "H release" work together.
What is the meaning and effect of the parameters "Timestamp" etc.?
The help so far describes more or less what is on the screen anyway.
Unfortunately, with still reasonable search times, I can't find any documentation of the Harmony API or other sources on this topic.
Specifically, I'm concerned with the volume buttons that, when held down, generate a kind of continuous infrared signal until you release the respective button again. This works with the original remote as well as with the Harmony Hub. The question is how do you address the hub so that it does this? Repeat is not a solution, because the step sequence is much too slow. What I have found out so far is that the output of "H press" must go directly to input of "H hold" to achieve any effect at all, whereby "H hold" must be set to a high value to generate several volume steps in quick succession. This repeat value obviously has nothing to do with the steps that are actually executed. "H release" appears to have no effect at all. You are totally in the dark and have to find your way by trial and error.
A few sentences and hints about the exact behavior of these commands and their parameters would be incredibly helpful.
Perhaps a link to a source from which one could take this information, if there is one, would be enough.
