However if you did not have a key like this, but still had the ability
to watch a streaming service, you can use this key as a shortcut by
programming a macro on it. Most AV devices which are connected to
the internet, such as Smart TVs or streaming Set Top Boxes have one or
more applications they can run to access TV viewing via the internet.
Examples of these would be Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime, Hulu or
similar.
To program the macro, you first need to know the device you use to
access the service, and then the sequence of keys you need to press to
always bring up the service you prefer, For example, some Panasonic
TVs will start Netflix by pressing the Apps key, then Menu Down Twice,
and finally the OK key. Or on an Apple TV, the sequence is Menu, Menu
Down and OK.
Once you have determined the sequence for your device, follow these
steps:
1. Sit in front of your device with It switched on (not on standby)
2.

Tips
• Make sure the Essential remote Is operating the device in question
before programming
• If you find the Macro doesn't work as expected, you can just repeat
the same sequence to reprogram
• When programming, wait for your device to respond first, the remote
will remember the timing
• The App Shortcut macro is tied to one device, remember to make sure
you are watching the correct device
ACTIVITIES
An Activity is a combination of devices.
On a standard universal remote control if you want to control different
devices you need to swap between them using the device keys. So you
wanted to control the input of your TV, the channels and guide of your
DirecTV and the volume of your sound bar, you would need to swap
between these by pressing the TV, STB and Audio keys.
On the Essential remotes these devices can be grouped into one
Activity mode, so after pressing watch TV, the Input key will control the
TV, the Volume Up, Down and Mute will control the Sound Bar and the
other keys will control the Set Top Box.

Hold down the App Shortcut key until the LED
blinks twice.
Press the device key for the device you want to use
for the macro (e.g. Stream)
Now perform the sequence of keys exactly as would normally.
The remote will operate your device and the macro is recorded
in real time - so if it normally takes a few seconds for your
device to react don't worry.
One you have finished the sequence - and the
Streaming Service has started on your device - hold
down the App Shortcut key until the LED blinks
twice and goes out. The macro is now stored.
