Inā manaʻo ʻoe e hoʻā a hoʻopau nā kukui bias i ka TV, loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi 50/50 kūpono o ka pololei. ʻAʻole pili kēia i nā kukui ponoʻī, a pili pono i ka pio ʻana o nā awa USB o ke TV ke pio ka TV. ʻO ke kumu koʻikoʻi kēia, ʻo kā mākou mau kukui bias āpau e hiki ke hoʻopili i ka TV ma o USB a, inā hiki, maikaʻi ia ʻaʻole pono e hoʻopuehu me ka ʻole o kahi mana mamao. ʻAʻole hiki kēia i nā manawa a pau, akā pono ʻoe e ʻike i kāu mau koho. Ua hoʻokele ʻia kekahi poʻe mai kekahi mau hōʻailona TV ma muli o ke ʻano o ke ʻano o ke awa USB!

Aia kekahi mau hōʻailona o nā TV kahi e hana ai nā awa USB, ʻoiaʻiʻo, e hoʻopau i ka wā e pio ai ka TV, akā aia kekahi mau hōʻailona kahi e hoʻomau ʻia ai nā awa USB ʻoiai ke pio ka TV. Hoʻoholo kekahi mau mea hana TV e hoʻolei i kahi pandemonium i loko o ko mākou ola ma o ka hoʻohuli ʻana i kā lākou mau awa USB i kēlā me kēia 10 kekona ke pio ka TV.

Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e hoʻokipa i kahi rave, ʻaʻole kūpono paha kēia. No laila, he aha kāu e hana ai? 

Hoʻopili pinepine nā mea kūʻai ma kā mākou pūnaewele ma o ke kamaʻilio ʻana e ʻike i ka dimmer maikaʻi loa no kā lākou TV. Inā hiki, makemake lākou e hoʻonohonoho i ka ʻōlinolino o nā kukui bias a poina iā lākou. ʻAʻole maʻalahi kēia ʻano "hoʻonohonoho-a-poina" i nā manawa a pau, akā e wehewehe mākou pehea e hoʻokokoke ai i kēia me ka hiki ke hoʻopaʻa ʻia i kāu kukui bias MediaLight a i ʻole LX1 me ka dimmer kūpono no kēlā me kēia brand TV. E hoʻomanaʻo, ʻo kā mākou pahuhopu i kēia ʻatikala e haʻi iā ʻoe pehea e hoʻokō ai i ka "hoʻonohonoho a hoʻopoina" i ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe ma luna o kāu mau kukui bias, ma ka liʻiliʻi loa ke ʻae ka TV. 

Hāʻawi mākou i nā ʻano dimmers. E hele mākou i nā kikoʻī hou aku no kēlā me kēia ʻano ma lalo nei:

1) Pihi dimmers (me ka ʻole o kahi mana mamao): He maʻalahi loa kēia, ʻaʻohe mana mamao e hoʻohana ai a kaomi ʻoe i kahi "+" a i ʻole "-" e hoʻonohonoho i ka pae kūpono. He pihi on/off kekahi o keia mau dimmers. 

2) Nā dimmer infrared Hāʻawi mākou i ʻelua mau ʻano dimmer infrared i kēia manawa. ʻO ka mea maikaʻi e pili ana iā lākou ʻo ia ka maʻalahi a hiki ke hoʻopili ʻia me nā mamao āpau. ʻO ka ʻaoʻao haʻahaʻa ka hiki ke hoʻopilikia i nā mea hana ʻē aʻe. Inā kaulana kāu TV no ke keakea ʻana, e kūkākūkā ʻia ma lalo nei. Eia nō naʻe, inā loaʻa iā ʻoe nā hāmeʻa Vizio a i ʻole Klipsch, kiʻekiʻe loa ka hiki ke hoʻopilikia. 

3) ʻO nā dimmer WiFi: Hoʻohana kēia mau dimmer i kahi polokalamu kelepona a i ʻole Alexa a i ʻole Google Home e hoʻā a hoʻopau i kāu mau kukui a hoʻonohonoho i ka mālamalama. Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe i hoʻokomo nui ʻia i nā polokalamu home akamai, ʻaʻole mākou e paipai iā lākou. E mālama i kāu hoʻonohonoho maʻalahi. 

Aia kekahi mau dimmers ʻē aʻe, e like me Bluetooth a me RF, ka mea hope e hoʻohana i nā alapine lekiō ʻole i laikini ʻia, akā ʻaʻole ʻoe e ʻike iā lākou ma kā mākou pūnaewele i kēia mau lā. I kekahi mau hihia, ua hoʻohana mākou iā lākou i ka wā ma mua akā ua pilikia lākou. No ka laʻana, hana nā dimmers RF ma nā paia, e like me WiFi, akā no ka mea ʻaʻole maʻalahi nā ʻāpana e kamaʻilio kūʻokoʻa, inā he 40 MediaLights ma kahi keʻena hana hope, e hoʻomalu nā kānaka i nā suites hoʻoponopono like ʻole i nā kukui i nā suites ʻē aʻe. Ua hoʻāʻo mākou e hana i kahi mana i hiki ke kamaʻilio kūʻokoʻa, akā hiki ke nalowale i ka synchronization. ʻO kēia ka mea i manaʻo ai ka poʻe ua haki lākou, a he mea hoʻonāukiuki ke kaʻina hana resynchronization.

I kēlā me kēia hihia, he nui kā mākou ʻike me nā dimmers. Hāʻawi wale mākou i nā dimmers me ka hoʻomanaʻo nonvolatile. ʻO ia ke ʻano inā pio ke awa USB a ʻoki ʻia ka dimmer mai ka mana, ke ʻā ke awa USB, hoʻi koke nā kukui i ko lākou kūlana mua. Eia hou, inā kūʻai ʻoe i kāu dimmer mai iā mākou, e hana ia ma kēia ʻano. He mea nui e hoʻomaopopo ʻaʻole ia i hāʻawi ʻia e hana nā dimmers ʻē aʻe mai nā kumu ʻē aʻe e hana i kēia. 

ʻAe, no laila ua hoʻohiki mākou e haʻi iā ʻoe i ka dimmer kūpono no kāu TV. E hoʻomaka mākou me kahi ʻike o kēlā me kēia brand TV nui. Inā wikiwiki ʻoe, e ʻimi wale i ka ʻāpana o kēia ʻatikala e pili ana i kāu TV. 

LG

ʻO nā hōʻike LG, ʻo OLED a me LED, kaulana loa i nā mea kūʻai mai MediaLight, e hoʻopau ana i ka moʻolelo ʻaʻole pono nā hōʻike OLED i nā kukui bias (ʻaʻohe mea pili nā kukui bias me ka TV a me nā mea āpau e pili ana i ko mākou mau maka a me ka cortex ʻike). No ka hapa nui, inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi TV LG, e hoʻāla a pio ke awa USB me ka TV. Aia kekahi mau mea e nānā ai, akā naʻe:

Hoʻohana ʻo LG OLED i kēlā me kēia manawa i kahi mode "pixel refresher" e mālama i ke ola o ka hōʻike OLED a pale i ke ahi. Ke hana ʻia kēia, ʻike ʻia ua pio ka TV, akā e hoʻomau ʻia ke awa USB no kekahi mau minuke (e like me ka lōʻihi o 10 mau minuke, e pili ana i ka nui o ka TV āu e pāʻani nei). Manaʻo mākou e hoʻokuʻu i kēia me ka hilinaʻi e pio nā kukui. E hoʻohana i nā minuke hoʻomālamalama ʻē aʻe e haʻalele i ka lumi nānā me ka ʻole o ke kuʻi ʻana i nā lako.

Inā ʻae ʻoe e pio nā kukui ke hoʻopau ʻia ke ʻano Pixel Refresher, e ʻā lākou i ka wā e hoʻā hou ai ka TV. Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e kali i ka pio ʻana o nā kukui me ka port USB o LG OLED a pio ma o ka dimmer, pono ʻoe e hoʻohuli i nā kukui ke hoʻāla hou ʻia ka TV. 

ʻO kā mākou ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo "hoʻonohonoho a poina": E hoʻohana i ka dimmer hoʻomalu ʻia ʻo MediaLight Remote e hele pū me kāu MediaLight, a i ʻole e hoʻohui i kahi pihi dimmer 30 Khz Flicker-Free manuahi i kāu kauoha. Inā kūʻai ʻoe i LX1, e hoʻohui i ka dimmer pihi maʻamau. 

Vizio

He paʻakikī ke aloha ʻole iā Vizio. Ua puni lākou no nā makahiki, ʻo ka hapa nui ma ka mākeke ʻAmelika ʻĀkau, a he inoa waiwai lākou me ka maikaʻi maikaʻi ma mua o kekahi mau mea hou e like me Hisense a me TCL.

I nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ua lilo lākou i mea pāʻani i ka ʻenehana OLED. Eia naʻe, ʻoiaʻiʻo nō ka ʻōlelo kahiko. "Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi TV Vizio, ʻo kēlā me kēia kaohi mamao kahi mamao ʻole." Ma kēia, ke manaʻo nei au e hoʻopilikia mau ana kā lākou remotes me nā mea hana ʻē aʻe.

Eia naʻe, ʻo ka lokomaikaʻi nui me nā Vizio TV ʻo ia ka mea e ʻae mau lākou iā ʻoe e hoʻonohonoho i ke awa USB e hoʻopau me ka TV. Hana pinepine ia i kēia ma ka paʻamau. A i ʻole, hiki iā ʻoe ke nānā ma lalo o nā hoʻonohonoho TV a hoʻololi iā ia i "USB off with power off."

ʻO kā mākou ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo "hoʻonohonoho a poina": Noi i ka 30 Khz Flicker-Free Dimmer me kāu MediaLight a hoʻohana kahi o ka dimmer kaohi mamao, e keakea ana paha. Inā makemake ʻoe i kahi dimmer infrared, hiki iā ʻoe ke noi i kahi dimmer ʻē aʻe ʻaʻole e hoʻopilikia i kekahi mau TV Vizio, (akā e hoʻopilikia i ka M-Series). Inā kūʻai ʻoe i kahi LX1, e hoʻohui i ke pihi dimmer maʻamau a i ʻole ka 30Khz Flicker-Free dimmer, hiki ke ʻike ʻia ma lalo o ka ʻāpana o kā mākou pūnaewele. 

Nokia

Ua piha nā Sony TV i nā hiʻohiʻona pūnaewele. ʻO ka nui, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole i pio maoli ka laina Sony Bravia. ʻOiaʻiʻo, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopau i ka pale, akā pili mau ka TV i ka pūnaewele a hana i ke kua. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole pio nā awa USB me Sony a ʻaʻole lākou e noho ma kekahi. Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi Sony Bravia a hoʻopili i nā kukui bias, e aʻo koke ʻoe e ʻā a pio nā kukui i kēlā me kēia 10 kekona a i ʻole ke pio ʻana o ka TV.

1) Manaʻo ʻia ka dimmer no ʻAmelika ʻĀkau: E hoʻohana i ka dimmer MediaLight IR maʻamau e hoʻā a pio i kāu mau kukui. Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi mamao āpau, e like me Harmony, e hoʻolālā i nā code mamao i ka mamao āpau. No ka pale ʻana i kekahi ʻānaʻi hewa ʻana ʻoiai ke hoʻonohonoho ʻia ka dimmer i ke kūlana "off", e hoʻonohonoho i ke ʻano RS232C o ke TV i "via serial." E hoʻololi kēia i ka hana paʻamau o ke awa USB i "mau mau" (no ka hapa nui).

Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole i loaʻa kēia hoʻonohonoho ma waho o ʻAmelika ʻĀkau, kahi i nele ai ʻo Sony Bravia TV i kahi awa RS232C.

2) Manaʻo ʻia ka dimmer ma waho o ʻAmelika ʻĀkau: E noi i kahi dimmer infrared ʻē aʻe, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma nā TV me ka ʻole o ka hoʻonohonoho RS232C. ʻAʻole ia (akā) i ka waihona ʻo Harmony, akā hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohui iā ia ma ke ʻano aʻo (pono ʻoe e hoʻohui i nā kauoha on/off).

Samsung

Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi kīwī Samsung, aia ma kahi o 50% ka manawa e ʻā a pio nā kukui me ka TV. Ma kekahi mau hōʻike QLED hou, paʻa mau ke awa USB. ʻO kēia ka hapa nui o nā TV me kahi pahu One Connect, akā makemake mākou i ka ʻike hou aku.  

Manaʻo ʻia nā dimmers no Samsung: Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i ka mamao a me ka dimmer me MediaLight a i ʻole e hoʻohui i kekahi WiFi a i ʻole IR dimmer.  

Philips

Hāʻawi ʻo Philips i kahi laina paʻa o nā TV ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, me kekahi mau OLED kaulana, ka hapa nui ma waho o USA. ʻOiaʻiʻo, kuleana lākou no ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ka mea hoʻopailua ʻo Ambilight i ka mākeke TV akā maikaʻi loa kā lākou TV. ʻO nā awa USB a, no laila, e ʻā a pio nā kukui bias me ka hōʻike.

Manaʻo ʻia nā dimmer no Philips: Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i ka mamao a me ka dimmer me MediaLight a i ʻole e hoʻohui i kahi WiFi a i ʻole ka pihi dimmer āu e makemake ai. E ho'ā a pio nā kukui me ke TV. No LX1, paipai mākou i ka dimmer pihi maʻamau.

Nā leka kūikawā e pili ana iā Philips OLED: ʻAʻole i nele ka Philips OLED i nā awa USB 3.0 a e hoʻolei maoli i kahi code hewa ma ka pale inā he lauoho ʻoe ma luna o 500mA, ka kikoʻī no ka USB 2.0. Inā ʻoe e hoʻohana nei i kāu MediaLight a i ʻole LX1 me kahi Philips OLED a ʻo nā kukui he 4 mika ka lōʻihi a lōʻihi paha, makemake mākou e noi i kahi hoʻonui mana USB me kāu kauoha.

E ʻike ka poʻe heluhelu heluhelu he ʻokoʻa kēia ma mua o ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo no LG OLED (e kāhea ana i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka mana no 5 mau mika a ʻoi aku paha). ʻO kēia no ka mea e hoʻohana pololei ʻia ka 4mA i kahi ʻāpana 500m ma ka luminance kiʻekiʻe, a ʻo ka dimmer WiFi a mākou e hāʻawi nei e loli wale i ka hiki ke hoʻomaka i nā code hewa ma nā ʻāpana 4m.

Eia hou, manuahi ka mea hoʻonui me nā 5m-6m MediaLights, a hiki ke hoʻohui ʻia no $5 i kēlā me kēia kauoha LX1. He manuahi pū me 4m MediaLights inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi TV Philips a ke kūʻai nei hoʻi i kahi dimmer WiFi. I kēia hihia, pono mākou e leka uila iā mākou me kāu ID kauoha i hiki iā mākou ke hoʻokomo.

Hisense

Me he mea lā ua ʻaihue ʻo Hisense i kekahi o ka hekili mai Vizio, ʻo ia ka mea i alakaʻi ʻia ma ʻAmelika ʻAmelika. Hoʻokaʻaʻike mai ka hapa nui o nā mea kūʻai mai iā mākou e haʻi iā mākou ʻaʻole nele kā lākou Hisense TV i nā awa USB 3.0, no laila inā ʻoe e hoʻohana nei i nā kukui MediaLight a i ʻole LX1 bias me kāu Hisense TV, manaʻo mākou e hoʻohui i kahi hoʻonui mana USB no nā kukui he 5 a 6 mau mika ka lōʻihi.

ʻO ka hoʻololi ʻē aʻe me Hisense ʻo ia ka hoʻohana ʻana o kekahi o kā lākou TV i kahi ʻōnaehana hana Google like me ka mea i loaʻa ma nā set Bravia. Hōʻike kekahi poʻe ʻaʻole pio nā awa USB me ka TV. ʻAʻole iā mākou kahi TV Hisense no laila ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke hoʻāʻo i kēia ma nā ʻano hoʻohālike he nui, akā ʻo ke ala maikaʻi loa e hoʻomākaukau ai ʻo ia ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi mana mamao. ʻAʻohe pilikia hoʻopilikia IR me nā TV Hisense.

Manaʻo ʻia ka dimmer no Hisense: Manaʻo mākou e hoʻohana i ka dimmer infrared me kāu MediaLight a i ʻole e hoʻohui i kahi mamao infrared i kāu kukui bias no nā TV Hisense.

Insignia

ʻO kēia ka hale waihona kālā o Best Buy. Inā ʻaʻohe āu Best Buy ma kahi āu e noho ai, ʻaʻole paha ʻoe i ʻike i kahi TV Insignia. Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi TV Insignia, e hoʻā a pio kāu mau kukui bias me ka TV.

Manaʻo ʻia nā dimmers no Insignia: Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i ka mamao a me ka dimmer me MediaLight a i ʻole e hoʻohui i kahi WiFi a i ʻole ka pihi dimmer āu e makemake ai. E ho'ā a pio nā kukui me ke TV. No LX1, paipai mākou i ka dimmer pihi maʻamau.

TCL

ʻO nā TV TCL, e like me nā hōʻike, MAI e hoopau i na awa USB ke pio ke TV. 'O ia ho'i, pono 'oe e ho'ohana i kahi mamao inā 'a'ole 'oe makemake i nā kukui ma 24/7 a 'a'ole makemake 'oe e hele i ka TV e ho'opau. 

Loaʻa i ka MediaLight kahi mea maikaʻi a ʻelua mau koho LX1. E hele mākou me ke koho mamao infrared "Standard MediaLight". 

ʻO kā mākou mea hopohopo wale nō, ua hōʻike kekahi mau mea kūʻai aku i ka interference infrared, akā ʻike ʻia e pili paha ia mea pili i nā mea ʻē aʻe, e like me nā polokalamu Roku me ka mana mamao ākea. ʻO ka mea e hiki mai ana he "kokoke loa" nā code IR i hiki ke hoʻomaka i ke kamaʻilio ʻana me nā mea IR ʻē aʻe a ʻo ka hana hou o ka hoʻohui ʻana iā Roku e hoʻokokoke loa iā lākou (e like me ka nalowale o ka hoʻonā ke hana ʻoe i kope kope o he kope kope). 

Manaʻo ʻia nā dimmers no TCL: Paipai mākou i kekahi o kā mākou dimmer infrared. Ua komo ka IR mamao me ka MediaLight hiki e hoʻohana pū ʻia, akā inā ʻike ʻoe i kekahi keakea IR (hoʻololi ka pihi ma ka TV i ka ʻōlinolino o kāu mau kukui, e ʻoluʻolu e ʻike iā mākou. 

E ʻike paha ʻoe ʻaʻole wau i kuhikuhi i kā mākou WiFi dimmer hoʻokahi. ʻAʻole ia no ka maikaʻi ʻole, akā no ka mea e pili ana kēia ʻatikala i ka hana ʻana i kahi ʻike "hoʻonohonoho a poina". Hāʻawi mākou i kahi dimmer WiFi hub-free (ʻaʻole koi ʻia kahi lako hub hou) a kaulana loa ia, akā makemake wale ʻia inā ʻoe e hoʻolilo nui ʻia i nā polokalamu home akamai. He mea nani loa ka haʻi ʻana iā "Alexa a i ʻole OK Google, e hoʻonohonoho i nā kukui bias i 32% kukui," akā ʻoi aku ia ma mua o ka "hoʻonohonoho a poina" ethos o kēia ʻatikala. (Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i ka wifi dimmer me HomeKit, akā pono e hoʻohana i ka HomeBridge, ma ka liʻiliʻi loa i kēia manawa).

ʻAʻole kēia he papa inoa piha, akā ʻo kēia nā mea kaulana loa i loaʻa iā mākou nā nīnau e pili ana. E hoʻohui mākou iā ia i ka wā e hoʻokuʻu ʻia ai nā TV hou a i ʻole nā ​​​​mea kūʻai aku e hōʻike i nā ʻokoʻa me kā mākou ʻike i papa inoa ʻia. Ua haʻalele mākou i kāu TV? Malia paha! E haʻi mai iā mākou!
