The Rē User Interface Components
You access the various functions of the Rē by touching the icons on the Tab Bar.
Activities –“Watching TV” or “Watching a DVD Movie” are examples of Activities. You tap the
Activities tab to display the Activity Remotes that you have set up.
Devices –The IR controlled equipment within a Room, such as a TV or DVD player. You tell the
Rē the brand and type of each Device in a given Room, and the App guides you in setting up a
Device Remote for each Device in the Room.
You display the Device Remotes for the selected Room by tapping the Devices tab.
Discrete Codes –These are special IR codes that allow functions like “power on” and “power
off” instead of “toggle power on/off” or one button input source selection instead of a source
menu. These codes allow easy setup of Macros. The manual section on Macros has more
information about how these codes work.
Favorites –Favorites Lists provide instant selection of a specific channel of programming for TV
or Radio Stations. You can have any number of Favorites Lists associated with each activity.
You might have a TV channel list for sports, one for movie channels, and one for news. The
Favorites Tab displays the Favorites Lists for the current Activity.
Information Views –Help text screens are displayed throughout the Rē interface. Tap on the
(i) to display information about setting up or editing the functionality of your remote. Tap on the
(i) in Rooms for information on how to get started with your Rē.
IR Code Database –The Rē Accessory provides the IR Codes for each key on most popular AV
device remote controls. The database also contains many IR Codes called Discrete Codes for
your devices that typically are not included in the original remote controls.
Learning - Learning allows a universal remote to copy IR codes from the original remote. The
Rē can learn buttons or full remotes as an extension to the IR Code Database.
Macros –Macros are simple sequences of button presses that you can set up to automate
functions in a universal remote. Traditionally, you use macros to switch power on and off to
multiple devices, and to automatically switch inputs and outputs for video and sound. The Rē
supports those macros and any other button sequence you wish to program.
Rooms –Rooms define where you are using the Rē. Rooms can be different rooms in your
house, the office, or anywhere you want to control devices. The Rooms tab selects the Room you
are in and want to use. Use Rooms to set up the Devices, Activities and Favorites within a
Room.
Settings - Use the Settings Tab to control global functions of the Rē and view information about
the Accessory and Application.

Device Brand Support
The Rē Accessory contains a built-in database of IR codes that support most popular devices.
See http://www.newkinetix.com/preprogrammed-devices/ for the current list of supported
Brands and types.
If the brand name of your device isn’t listed, check to see if there is an alternate manufacturer
for your device. If you cannot find an alternate name, select “-UNLISTED-“for your device brand
and use the automated search to search for a code that works for your device.
Use the Test Remote button to test more buttons on your new TV remote. Some devices work
with more than one code, so this temporary remote display allows you to try more codes and
see the button differences. You can edit the button layout later.
Note: If you have returned to test additional IR codes while editing a device previously
setup, you can try other codes without risk of losing your original setup. Just return to the
original IR code by pressing (cancel).
See The Learning Function to learn the buttons from your old remote if you cannot find a
working code.

View and Edit a Device Setup
You can view and edit a device you have previously setup by returning to the Devices list in your
Room. Follow these steps to view or edit a Device Setup:
1. Select the Room you are in and Tap the (>) to display the Room contents.
2. Tap the (>) on Devices to display your Devices List.
3. Tap the (>) on any device to display its settings.
4. Tap the Name row to change the device name.
You may edit the device settings by selecting Brand, Type or IR Code.
CAUTION! Any change you make to these device settings will erase the previously created
Device Remote and all customization.
Inter-Key Delay
Some devices cannot respond quickly enough to a series of IR codes sent by the Rē to change
channels. This setting is rarely used, but may be required for some devices to allow Favorites’
Channels to work properly. If your device does not change channels correctly in Favorites,
adjust the Inter-Key Delay to slow the transmission rate to the device. A setting of 100ms to
200ms is usually sufficient. This setting also applies to commands sent to this device in a Macro.
Changing this setting does not affect any previous customization of the Device Remote.
Tip: Complete and confirm your Devices setup prior to setting up Activities.
Device Remote
As you view and test the buttons on each Device Remote, you will notice that there are buttons
that don’t appear on your original remote. This occurs for two primary reasons:
Device IR Codes support multiple model numbers, and the remote functons vary from model
to model. So there may be some buttons on the Rē device remote that control functions in
your device that are not on the original remote. Similarly, there will likely be buttons on the
Rē that do not work on your device.
Universal Remotes make use of discrete codes that provide functions like Pwr On and Pwr
Off in addition to On/Off as shown on the top screen. Discrete input or output switching may
also be provided as shown in the bottom screen. These discrete codes allow easier macro
setup. You may also find that there is a button on your old remote that isn’t on the Rē Device
Remote. You can add that button with the learn function.
Customize your Device Remote
After creating Device Remotes, you may want make modifications. The most important use of a
Device Remote is to provide the button functions you need to create Activities. You will rarely

Page | 7
use the Device Remotes for direct control so the button layout may be less important, but it is
fully customizable. Tap (Edit) on the Device Remote Screen to begin customization.
Modify Button Characteristics
You can modify the button image, label name, and title (text displayed on a blank button) to
customize your remote. You can also choose to turn the label display on or off for each button.
Tap (Edit) to enter edit mode. Double tap the button you wish to modify, a select Modify Button.
Change Button Label
Select Name and type the label you want to appear beneath the button.
Change Button Image
Select Image and choose a button image from the list. Choose a blank button image if you want
to add a custom text Title to the button. Scroll through the images to select one appropriate for
the button function. Button images are organized within groups of function types: Audio, Blank,
Channel, Colors, Control, IO, Menu, PIP, Power and Transport. The alphabet selector helps you
find button images quickly.
Change Button Title
Select Title and enter the letters, numbers, or symbols you want on the button. You can select
the title color as well.
Label display ON/OFF
Select whether you want to display the button label on the remote.
Delete a Button or Row

Follow these steps to delete a button:
1. Tap (Edit) to enter edit mode. Double tap the button to delete to display the edit selection
action sheet.
2. Tap (Delete Button) and the button is removed from the Device Remote. You can also delete
a blank row or row of buttons by selecting (Delete Row).
Tip: Test all of the buttons on each Device Remote that you have created to verify their
function prior to setting up Activities. You can delete any buttons that do not control
your specific device or use learn to teach the button to control your device function.
Add a Button
Follow these steps to add a button:
1. Tap (Edit) to enter edit mode. Double tap an empty space where you want to add a new
button to display the edit selection action sheet.
2. Tap Add Button to enter a label name for your new button.

5. Tap Title to add a title to a Blank button image.
6. Select Label ON/OFF to choose the label display status on the remote.
7. Press (Done) to copy the image and return to the button definition choices screen.
Customize the Button Layout
You can customize the positions of the buttons on your remote screen by moving buttons to
different locations. You can also add blank rows.
Follow these steps to move a button:
1. Be sure the remote is in edit mode. You can tell it’s in edit mode by the dimmed display and
the (Done) button in the upper right. The Tab Bar is disabled during edit operations.
2. Tap and hold the button, then slide it to its new location. If you slide a button to another
occupied button location, the buttons will be swapped.
Delete an empty row by double tapping the row and selecting Delete Row in the Alert.
You can tap any location on a row and add an additional row. For a more balanced appearance
for rows of fewer than four buttons, you can set the button on half-grid locations.
Tip: To view remotes as full screen, double tap on any space or between buttons on a
Device or Activity Remote. Double tap again, or use the shake gesture to return to the
normal display view.
Customize the Background Color for each Remote
You can change the color of the skin or background of each remote. Select a background image
in settings to personalize the background of all of the screens in the Rē app. In addition, you can
change the color of each remote to allow easy differentiation between remotes during use.
Follow these steps to change the skin color of a remote:
1. Tap (Edit) to enter edit mode, then double tap a blank area on the remote face to access the
edit selections.
2. Tap (Change Skin) to bring up the color adjustment tool. Tap anywhere on the color grid to
select a color, or enter RGB values with the sliders or by tapping the value box and entering a

Page | 9
number. Use the Transparency setting to adjust how much of the background you want
visible through the skin color.
Button Folders
Button folders are a space saving user interface feature in Device and Activity Remotes. Use
folders to collect groups of buttons into a single folder icon to save display space. For example,
create a folder that holds your 10 numbered channel buttons so you can display them only when
you need to use them. You can create as many folders as you want in any remote. It is easy to
use folders to eliminate the need to scroll vertically on the remote. Also, Open folders always
display at the top of the remote view, so the button locations are easily remembered.
Add and Populate Folders
Add a folder by entering Edit mode for the remote.
1. Select the remote and tap Edit.
2. Double tap an empty space in the display where you want to locate the folder.
3. Select add folder and enter a folder name.
4. Select a folder icon color, add a title and set the label display status, then press done and
return to the remote view.
Populate the folder as follows.
1. Drag buttons into the folder by holding a button and sliding it over the folder icon. This
moves the button from the main remote display to the folder.
2. Alternatively, you can copy a button from the remote and paste it into the folder. This
creates a copy of the button in the folder and leaves the button in the main remote for
use there as well.
a. Double tap the button and select Copy Button.
b. Double tap the folder and select Paste Button.
Editing Folder Contents
Editing folders is the same as editing the main remote view. To edit a folder open the folder in
the remote view and tap Edit. The edit operations are now available for the Folder contents.
1. Hold and drag buttons to change their display position.
2. Double tap a button to edit the button. Selections are:
a. Learn Buttons (Device Remote only)
b. Modify Button to change its Label and Icon or Macro for an Activity button
c. Delete Button
d. Copy Button
e. Paste Button (overwrites the selected button)
f. Add Row
g. Delete Row
3. Double tap an empty space to add or delete a button or row, or change the skin for the
open folder display.

Unloading or Deleting Folders
Folders can be deleted from the display just like buttons. Deleting a folder that contains buttons
will also delete the buttons.
Select Unload Folder to unload the buttons in a folder to put them back onto the main remote
view. This is useful for removing a folder you have setup. Loading and unloading folders is a
handy way to relocate groups of buttons on the main remote display. Also, since you can copy a
folder from a Device Remote to an Activity Remote, you can use a folder to copy groups of
buttons to an Activity. The buttons will work in the Activity in the folder, or you can unload the
folder if you want the buttons in the main Activity Remote display.
The screen images below show the use of Folders to organize a Watch TV Activity Remote.
Tapping a folder opens it. Tap another folder to replace the one being displayed. Close a folder
by tapping the folder icon of the open folder or tapping the folder icon in the upper left of the
Activity remote display.
