### 1/5 — 初期ペアリングができない

*2024-01-18, version 1.5.8*

残念すぎる

### 1/5 — 配對

*2022-09-23, version 1.5.8*

一進去都沒辦法配對
試了很多次都沒辦法⋯

### 1/5 — ルーター交換後 エアコンの登録ができない

*2021-12-28, version 1.5.8*

だいたいできるようになったかなと
思ったけど、テレビの入力切替ができない

テレビのメーカー
Sony BRAVIA KDL-32EX710
HDMI 1 ホームシアター
              YAMAHA YAS-109
Hdmi2  ps4
Hdmi3  ps3
Hdmi4  pc

hdmi2 ps4からは
アレクサ テレビのチャンネル切り替えて
で 民放のテレビ番組に切り替わる

出来ないのは民放のテレビ番組から
hdmi2 ps4に切り替えることができない

なんと言って切替ればいいのでしょうか？

10／10 17:45追加事項

後
HITACHIの冷暖房エアコン
RAS-2209RX
最近気づいたが、surcoで暖房に切り替えた際に アプリ(surco)の暖房の文字が太文字にならない 他の機能、冷房や除湿に関しては太文字になります。
エアコン的にも暖房の風が出ていない雰囲気

因みに
太文字＝要するに選択している状態 ですよね

サポートにメールしても反応鈍いし
国内サポートもなさそうだし、
はっきり言って
これを買わなければならない理由はないよ

2021/12 追加

上記の環境で快適に使っていましたが、
つい先日Wi-Fiルーターを買い替えました

テレビ、シーリングライトについては
(ルーター買い替えの前の設定で)問題
ありませんでしたが、

HITACHIの冷暖房エアコン
RAS-2209RX に関して問題が発生

音声、アプリでも操作できないので
設定を見直してみるとデバイスコードが
000になっていたので

まず、ペアリングし直しをして機種を選択(216)
登録を押す  登録完了
その後は音声、アプリでも操作できるようになりますが

翌日になるとスケジュールができていない
(04:30から暖房をかける)
そうなると、音声、アプリでも操作出来ずに
アプリの設定を見直してみるとデバイスコードが000に戻ってる

どうも設定がリセットされる

### 4/5 — 質感還可以

*2021-06-22, version 1.5.8*

電扇遙控器一直無法學習成功，但是冷氣配對使用上還不錯，有改進的空間

### 2/5 — 接続できません

*2021-06-09, version 1.5.8*

引越し後、新しいWiFiに接続できなくなりました。

青い点滅はしますが、スマホからWiFiに接続を試みるも、ボタンを押すと点滅は消えてしまい、再接続の案内になります。

どうすればよいのでしょうか

### 1/5 — 還是會閃退

*2021-03-21, version 1.5.6*

無法將期程排定的東西列入，一直散退！

### 1/5 — エアコンの不具合多すぎ

*2021-03-09, version 1.5.6*

エアコンの電源ONを平日スケジュールに入れると、スケジュールを一旦解除しても、解除したことにならず1週間エアコンかかりっぱなしとかになった。
改善して欲しい

### 4/5 — 方便好用

*2020-11-01, version 1.5.3*

目前用起來算是不錯 有兩個問題希望可以解決
1. 當開機起來 一定要立即用手機連線surco 一次 否則若開機之後太久沒有用手機連surco，要連surco 就發生‘surco未連接server’.。所以surco 一開機一定馬上要用手機連surco 一次，接下來就沒問題。希望這個問題可以解決。
2. McIntosh C2300音量控制紅外線學習沒辦法成功。即使surco認定成功也無法控制。猜測是surco紅外線學習緩衝區太小。McIntosh 音量控制的紅外線訊號時間比較長。surco 無法學習稍微長一點的紅外線訊號。希望能改進。

### 4/5 — 悪くは無い

*2020-09-15, version 1.4.8*

ウィジェットでも管理できるようにしてくれればもっと使い勝手が良くなりそう

### 5/5 — AUX問題

*2020-08-30, version 1.4.8*

捷徑功能無法設定AUX，設定好，使用時會跳出「無法執行AUX,與APP通訊時發生問題。」
