Does not change inputs

[ralbright-wa]

I am trying to get node-red to change the inputs on my Epson PowerLite 93, but the only thing it will do is go to Computer1 (Auto), despite having inputs plugged in for both HDMI and Computer 1.

I am using a template node to send {"setinput": {"source": 3, "channel": 2}}
Which when I have manually changed to HDMI, and then use getinput, this is the information that is returned: {"source":3,"channel":2,"code":"32","name":"DIGITAL - 2"}

On Computer1, the information returned is: {"source":1,"channel":1,"code":"11","name":"RGB - 1"}

Thoughts ideas?

Hello,
There was a typo in the documentation.
If you send {"source": 3, "channel": 2}
Without the setinput it will work.

I took the example coding, modified it accordingly and I get an error "192.168.2.136:4352 Error: Out of parameter"

Can you send me a flow for this? I am needing to use input code 42. {"source": 4, "channel": 2}. but when I send it, the projector ONLY stays on Computer 1. Projector is an Epson Powerlite 93+, so it is compatible with PJLink

That's the projector telling you the parameters are not valid.
are you sure it's 4 and 2 ?

Great node! And removing the "setiput" allows the set input command to work.....

[natcl]

Can you clarify the fix you made ?

[andypnz]

your own post from May 2021 let me use the set input command….
