StephenR0, something similar happened to me, but I explicitly order the "pink" one with 6 pins, for a little higher price. But when it came it was the cheaper 4pin one.
This is the exact item I bought, so you don't waste your money on this seller.

I grew up with Meliconi remotes (and with their rubber bodies for remotes too..)

(Yes! as a children I smashed a remote 'cause "it will bounce" :D but it did not, of course...)


I do remember their remote came with booklets full of codes (and lately ...

Hi Mathdon,
I received a few cables that were duds, displaying gibberish in a terminal test so you take your chances buying cheap cables like this from China.

For that price it's an "acceptable downside", even if I encountered that problem very rarely buying since 20 years from china. But could ...

Thanks to all for your info. I am pleased to know that these CH340 interfaces with RTS connected work well with RMIR.

Not only with RMIR, but I can tell these little cheap interfaces are working wonderfully with almost everything I tried (STBs, solar inverters, managed switches, and more). Way ...

We actually have fewer UEI remote models in the US.

I ask myself these questions when choosing a remote:

- Does it have all the physical buttons I need?
- Does it have enough device modes?
- Do I like the ergonomics?
- Is it JP1 compatible?

Only you can answer all these questions after looking ...

JP1 models available in Europe?

Hi all.

I just managed to get a URC-2981 seeing it on Amazon in Italy (where I live). For years I was in search for one, but prices were insane compared to US land and never bought one. Now I did, being tempted by the price.
Since 4 days I'm having fun with my little cheap sub-10 Euro remote.
I ...

Bingo! It's there.

This night I'll experiment a little bit with it, but great work!

If I can ask, what needed to be changed? What's different between mine (R03) and the others 11-2981 R00 and R01? Just asking for curiosity.

Thanks,

Federico

I'll try to do it, don't really know how. Visually, seeing photos online, I see some buttons are surely different. (For example, 1280 have APPS and "TV in a square" button, 2981 not. 2981 have "-/--" button, 1280 not. 1280 seems to have 2 buttons more.

After trying another interface (CH341-based) all worked great.
I am currently very interested in interfaces based on non-FTDI chips, so I would be very grateful if you could post a link to the CH341-based interface that you used.

Yeah, sure.

That's the exact one I have, ordered here:

359802 URC 11-2981 R03

Hello everybody.
After a lot of years I finally found a JP1 remote in my area (Italy - Europe). Didn't check for years, prices were sky high (70-80+ Euros), now I found a URC-2981 and ordered. Received 3 days ago and already started experimenting. No experience here with RemoteMaster, or anything ...
