JP1 Remotes

Hi,

JP1 User: Yes
JP1 Remote: URC-7541 2K
Device: Cable decoder Philips DCX6171

I start searching a device code for my new cable decoder.
Easy: JP1 Remote in search mode... cable decoder off.... I read the code.
My device code is 0292.
Very good BUT there is a lot of missing keys. Mad

So, instead of adding a lot of keymoves I prefer build a new device from scratch.

My question is:
Knowing my JP1 Remote type and the device code found, How can I know the protocol and protocol parameters that I must put in Remotemaster. (I guess that it will be RC-5 or RC-6 for philips but...)
Knowing that info, the last job will be to try every EFC code. Laughing

Thanks!

CBL/0292 is RC-5 protocol including:
Device 10 with OBC <= 63
Device 10 with OBC > 63
Device 8 with OBC <= 63

Do the four arrow keys in CBL/0292 work for your cable decoder? If so then all three of the (listed above) half-device settings in CBL/0292 are correct for your device. If not, I assume at least the power toggle RC5:10:12 is correct, meaning the first one is correct.

To help get you started, I have created an upgrade file that will re-create the CBL/0292 code, which you can use to add missing OBCs.

I used the codes found in the URC-8060 Kameleon as the starting point for this as I assume that the Kameleon has more meaningfully named buttons.

Hi,

Thanks for your help. Razz

It works fine. Just some more keys to find but it will be ok tomorrow.

Also, just FYI, the correct term for a code such as CBL/0292 is "setup code". The term "device code" is used to refer to the fixed codes encoded into the signal itself (eg, the 8 and 10 RC5 device codes referred to here).

While I have no personal use for the code, once you have it working correctly, you might want to upload your upgrade for others; so they don't have to recreate your work.

Or let Rob add/correct his preliminary upgrade. Wink

Here is the file for anyone interested:

By the way, You gave me the the solution and I thank you for that but I still don't know how can I find that setup code 0292 is RC-5 with device 8 and 10.

If it is not too hard, You can explain me. 8)
If it is too hard, I will ask you everytime I need this kind of informations! Wink

Have a nice day...

Another way, of course, is to have a second JP1 learning remote to learn the commands from the first one set to the 0292 code.
