Thanks for the information. I just ordered a couple Arduinos to try out with Girs!

I was a little vague with my question because I did not want my current choice of HA system to influence the answers. Right now I am using openHAB on a Pi 4 with some home-brew IR components hanging off of the GPIO ...

What device are you using to send and receive IR signals?

...for Home Automation

Currently I use a Raspberry Pi 4, LIRC and some cobbled together IR receiver & transmitter components hanging off the GPIO pins. LIRC is used to decode several dozen different NEC1 button presses to trigger HA actions and also used to send out a few IR commands (turn on/of ...

Yamaha extended ir codes

Does anyone know where to currently find a PDF or similar of the extended IR codes specific to each model Yamaha AVR? All of the links to Yamaha's site that I find are many years old and return a 404. Maybe they have locked them up behind a CI/dealer portal?

I did find this: https://github.com ...

Thanks, that cleared it up for me! Using the pronto hex string from OBC 53 on the spreadsheet works great to bring up discovery+ on a Roku Ultra with v11.0.0.

I downloaded this file: http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=25290
from the File - Roku (all models: 1,2,3,4,Premiere,Express,Ultra,etc) - Master file page from the first post. I did not see any reference to discovery+ in the xlsx or rmdu files.

Maybe the file did not get ...

The EFC for Discovery+ is 00039


I am struggling to convert this to Pronto with IrScrutinizer...
I entered 00039 in the EFC5 column in RM and it calculates the OBC as 181:

I then tried to put OBC 181 into IrScrutinizer but it is out of range:

That Insignia remote is a rebranded Inteset 422. No doubt they just tweaked a few of the button labels and defaulted the TV device to the Insignia code. Other than that it probably behaves identically to 422 that you can buy online.

I bought mine direct from the OEM on ebay: https://www.ebay.com ...

Ditto the recommendation for the Inteset 422-3. They are nice remotes and the Firestick IR adapter that they sell is a clever accessory.

I took apart a new-to-me MX-900 recently to add the button repair keymat. When testing the remote, I noticed that the RF feature was not working. Upon taking the remote apart, the radio transmitter circuit board fell off the main PCB. It had been attached with standoff pins that had legs like an SMD ...

Hot dang, that 'Add missing Fs' function is a lifesaver! I thought I was going to have to manually add a row for each function. But in a couple clicks it generated all 255 functions for NEC1 D213. Thanks for the tip!

Yep that about sums it up. I am trying to control three different zones of my Nuvo WHA system (Family Room, Kitchen and Deck) from my MX-990. There is no system level IR control, only an IR sensor on each keypad which won't always be in the line of sight of the remote. So the only way to do it is ...

pre-made lirc config file for automation controller

Is there a preferred set of codes to use for LIRC on a home automation controller? I need about 75 unique IR codes in my OpenHab setup to run various commands. I though about just picking a random NEC1 device code and generating a bunch of signals in IrScrutinizer and exporting each one into LIRC ...

Thanks for the replies. The Inteset 422 looks pretty cool for $25 and the interface options that they have for streaming devices is intriguing. I went ahead and purchased one to try out. I like that it looks very similar to a cable box remote and the buttons are not on top of each other. If it works ...

Best new JP1 remote in 2019?

Does anyone have recommendations for new JP1 remotes? I have a bunch of RCA RCU810 remotes that I have been using since the 2003. I have bought NOS replacements over the years as they wear out. But now the newest ones that I have are starting to act up.

So I am looking for possible replacement JP1 ...
