I have a pronto remote with a basic setup and have recently bought the Sonos model for it from Pilote Films https://shop.pilotefilms.com/indexUS.php however I don't have a clue how to get this module onto my Pronto.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to do it myself?

Or are there any Pronto dealers that can help me Berks / Bucks / Oxon way?

Thanks

You will need a program called prontoedit, google should show where from. Lots of files and help can be found on remotecentral.com it is American based though so will need to know the equivalent American model numbers for your kit.
Am trying to teach myself how to use the software, so if you find something cool let me know.
Thanks for the steer and will do. Although being a non techie, not sure it'll end well!

Note to self, must dust the Pronto

Unfortunately I can't claim it as my own

I have an initial screen with 4 options - Sky, DF Box (my media server), Wii and Sonos



At the moment the Sonos button just turns on the amp to the relevant audio channel and that's it. I've bought a bolt on module to control the Sonos for the Pronto (50 euros) but I can't work out how to upload it.

I can't help much I'm afraid

I have found a guy on Gumtree advertising that he programs Prontos for £30 per hour. There was no number on the ad but I have emailed him, I'll let you know if he gets back to me

Right, this guy has got back to me and charges £30 for first hour within a 40 mile radius of OX15 then £20 per hour thereafter

Or £140 for 7 hours onsite outside of a 40 mile radius + .40 per mile on any mileage over 40 miles

I'm trying to get him over to me next Wednesday so will report back then.

Sounds cheap to me if he can do it.

Thanks and good advice

Plotloss sold it to me and set it up it up in the first place but he has disappeared off the face of the earth and is not responding to email or phone calls. His business line just seems to ring out.
