HS/FS Creating logic to show status of IRTrans

[mmb4]

Hi guys

I am fairly new to the KNX-world and breaking my head on this problem.
I want to control my cable-box with my HS throughout IRTrans and somehow let the HS keep track of the status (on/off). So when I send a Toggle ON the the cablebox and the status is OFF, it sends a power on/off telegram to IRTrans. However, when the status is ON, it must NOT send a telegram to IRTrans because it would shut the box down. The same for a Toggle OFF command of course.
Would it be possible to let the HS keep track of the status somehow? I tried creating an IKO (1-bit) which contains the status (1/0) and let it change depending on the actual status and the command given, but I just don't get which logic building blocks to use. Someone has tried this before?
Thanks!

Surely you can keep track of the status, don't forget to mark the (separate!) iKO as "remanent", so it persists through restarts.

BUT: this - toggling power - will always make trouble! try to get discrete IR-codes (they are there mostly, just not well-known..) for this box, that really solves the problem instead of working around it

Thanks for the advice! I am going to look for those codes. I understand the potential trouble with my method but It would be better than nothing :-)
Can anyone provide me with an example on how to set such à status iKO in this case. I can't figure it out...
