Just bought a new projector that doesn't have controls on the projector itself. So when I receive it, I will immediately make a backup of the remote functions. Thanks a lot, this was exactly what I was looking for so I can backup the signals :)
Yes, but where is the fun in that? And how would otherwise you know how IR works and how to use it? Plus, replacing it with another remote gives no opportunity for automations.
@@TasteTheCode I agree with the last part, although there are better ways to automate something than via infrared. Where we do not have acknowledgment that the code has been received. There is no need to do all that to understand how a remote control works, just as there is no need to reinvent the wheel to know how it works.
On this particular model that I have, IR is the only noninvasive method how it can be automated. Yes, there is no feedback bit for anything more complicated, one would need to heavily modify the device and that is not an easy task. I personally enjoy learning how things operate and I'm aware that not everyone is into that, and that is OK.
@@TasteTheCode A more reliable way in that case would be to pass the data directly, bypassing the infrared link. Simply inject the infrared data stream into the location where the receiver would be. You will not have feedback, but at least you will know that the data arrives in a more reliable way.

Great! I'm glad that I could help!
Best tutorial.
Thank you! ♥
Thanks for this tutorial Bill ;)
How to find out the unique code of each push button of your remote control with a microprocessor.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Nice work! 👍😀
Thank you! 👍
good video but i want to know how to transmitt ir using ESPhome too
I haven't gotten to it yet but subscribe and I'll make a video.
The simplest is always the best:
1) repair the remote control
2) Use a universal remote control.

Yes, but again, that will require modification of the device.
