Easy to use and to Learn how to use but how do you make it so that the volume goes up or down more than one digit?

There is absolutely no maintained connectivity for this app with my Sony GTV box. It can connect once, for one simple task. After that, the app is disconnected and will not reconnect. Also, the Dev does not reply to email. Poor.

I installed the app but the icon didn't appear on my home screen and when I attempted to open it from Google play it took me to a completely different app.

Really good functionality overall. Does unpair on Revue if you go back later on an add another task using the plugin, have to clear data to reenter pairing pin. One thing missing...I would give 5 stars if we could send tasker variables as data.

Nothing like moving towards home automation. This app is so easy to use and works flawlesssly. Great job developers! Edit Having pairing issues as well. Do not know if something changed on Google TV end.

Actually executes the command only 75% of the time usually have to stop tasker to get it to repair with GTV. Also the data field does not support tasker variables, this would be a killer feature!

This app opens the playstore to the "Locale" app and that's it. Obviously a major problem. Uninstalling.

I keep losing pairing with Logitech Revue while configuring task. I'll update my rating once I'm up and running. I'm also running CM10 FYI. I've been waiting sooo long for this app. I can't wait for it to work smoothly.
