I'm also willing to try any other fireplace remote codes from other manifacturers... since these China made devices might have been sold under other names using the same control circuits.

There wasn't an exact match on the Logitech Harmony Database; however, the Greenway MFB28-2 was offered as a conciliatory option. I recorded the signals of the respective device's IR profile using IR Scope & Widget. Since the protocol comes up as <unknown>, perhaps one of our wonderful protocol creators can assist you further.

Mario, you have a learning remote and a cable, learn the signals and post your IR or RMIR file in the diagnosis section and post a link in this thread. Then we can see if these are similar to the other electric fireplace. Then we can create an upgrade for one or both fireplaces.

I believe this might hinder your request.

Okay, I missed that.

I'll see what we can do.

The IRP is
{37.4k,425,msb}<1,-3|3,-1>(A:12,16)+
Of course we don't know how the engineers intended this to be divided, but A can be partitioned to give D:4, F:8 which would give us maximum flexibility.
{37.4k,425,msb}<1,-3|3,-1>(D:4,F:8,16)+

If divided this way, we have D=13, and the OBCs are

Code: Select all

Heat   132    110110000100
Power  136    110110001000
Cooler 130    110110000010
Hotter 129    110110000001
Time   195    110111000011

I'll try using Graham's new executor generating facility in RMIR next.

Test rmdu for Muskoka MFB28-2

This was tested using an Atlas 1056B01, and seems to give the correct signals. Built using RMIR protocol feature.

Wow!

I am really impressed! So quick to get an answer here, and it simply works!
All I needed to complete it is reassign them where I want.

Thanks!

Good! Thanks, Earl (eferz). I've added the HCS08 executor and moved the upgrade file to Device Upgrades\Misc.
