Hi all, I bought a Qazqa uplight from LampenLicht, which unfortunately does not remember it’s status when the outlet is turned off via a relais. This means, we have to either physically turn on the light, or use the remote control. The remote control sends a IR-signal, which via [developer.athom.com](http://developer.athom.com) I was able to read out in the following command: 9079,4471,602,1641,610,525,616,521,611,541,600,523,608,531,610,539 614,524,605,1649,596,527,614,1640,612,1637,654,1600,600,1650,616,1634,605,1682,568,528,613,527,605,1646,607,526,614,526,603,539,608,540,604,520 613,1637,617,1641,605,525,617,1638,602,1656,595,1647,607,1640,608,1639 611,39923,9071,2214 615,65535 I remember from trying to get this working a few months ago, that with software called GTKWave I have to translate/compile the above code. I’m retrying now, but am a little lost again, but I am sure I will manage to do that again. Within Homey - a few months ago - I was able to paste code in [Homey Developer Tools](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/signals) which enabled me to turn the light on/off via the browser. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/b/4bfd01ed09e44ec8af5323c076df74802191dc54.png) Next step I would like to achieve, is to be able to use this in a flow, as simple as possible. All I need to do is turn the light on or off. Is it possible to copy a very simple code and put that in a flow? Or do I really have to go through the trouble of creating an app, which as a non-programmer I will not be able to do. Many thanks in advance for your help! ---

As a new user I am only allowed to post 1 image, I would like to understand if this flow-card might be able to help me? Assuming of course, I know what code to call… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/0/a0a744e263f5e669f17df21321037585ebb211d7.png) ---

Unfortunately you don’t mention what model you own. But Homey Pro 2023 can send Raw pronto hex codes now since FW v10.1.0, with a simple flow card. This code you used here: > [@Paul-040](#): > > I was able to paste code in [Homey Developer Tools](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/signals) which enabled me to turn the light on/off via the browser. should work with that flow card. > ![Screenshot_20231216-153711_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/c/cc4697c92324b03966e35d5d717b73d4b34d4334.jpeg) > **[Homey Pro (Early 2023) Changelog](https://homey.app/en-us/wiki/homey-pro-early-2023-firmware-changelog/)** ---

Hi Peter, I run on a homey pro 2016 - 2019. As it’s only software, should this card exist for me too? I cannot find it anywhere. ---

After diving a bit further in myself, I found out that the 2023 model has different firmware than my 2016-2019 model. Apparently the Pro Early 2023 model has a firmware ( v10.1.0-rc.4 experimental and v10.1.0 stable) which enables a flow-card to send a IR message. > **[Homey Pro (Early 2023) Changelog](https://homey.app/en-us/wiki/homey-pro-early-2023-firmware-changelog/)** For my device ([Homey Pro (2016 — 2019) Changelog | Homey](https://homey.app/en-us/wiki/homey-pro-2016-2019-changelog/)) the firmware apparently has less actual useful updates… ---

Yup, don’t know why they named both firmwares to v10.x… makes it UNclear which is which. But indeed, unfortunately the IR card is only available for Pro 2023. I don’t think this kind of upgrades are rolled out to the Pro 201x models, while we have to have reasons to buy a 2023 model finally 😜😆
