Hey all, I want to use my old homey (2016 kickstarter edition) as an IR blaster to start my pellet stove. I am able to read the IR signal in develepor environment. When I press the button 5 times, this is what I get: 8986,4469,580,1649,585,571,558,520,608,521,585,571,561,517,607,548 558,552,592,548,577,1668,555,1652,583,1651,606,1667,569,1653,586,1654,600,1656,578,524,605,1663,572,550,578,526,581,1654,604,527,578,578,551,525 614,1659,577,549,567,1685,550,1657,579,551,577,1657,582,1679,586,1674 550,39853,8959,2228 577,65535 8997,2226 573,65535 8988,4465,572,1654,583,547,580,524,604,526,580,552 580,532,605,524,605,516,578,525,614,1647,610,1624,578,1667,623,1625,588,1670,561,1652,610,1649,616,489,632,1628,585,518,611,519,609,1625,611,520,587,543 611,505,633,1641,572,518,643,1608,604,1627,585,544,595,1640,584,1649,641,1619 606,39791,8989,2200 611,65535 9027,2164 633,65535 9018,2168 611,65535 8991,4465,580,1649,586,543,585,518,610,520,586,545,584,519 616,527,583,536,582,519,609,1657,583,1647,583,1650,619,1641,583,1653,582,1650,607,1654,581,522,612,1652,579,522,606,524,583,1652,606,524,583,547,581,528 613,1656,569,523,638,1622,580,1662,583,544,576,1658,578,1652,613,1647 578,39818,8995,2195 607,65535 8985,2199 611,65535 8978,2210 604,65535 9023,4432,582,1647,587,543,607,497,610,520,586,544 596,523,604,514,583,544,584,520,642,1619,619,1620,581,1659,630,1619,616,1619,606,1627,641,1626,609,488,640,1639,598,487,639,490,616,1618,639,491,583,550 625,486,629,1622,613,490,638,1622,581,1654,620,522,569,1653,614,1620,637,1624 611,39784,9024,2167 640,65535 9015,2171 637,65535 9010,2174 614,65535 264,1725,322,901,279,11677,316,958 236,65535 8987,4474,577,1651,588,540,577,523,611,521,580,553 579,522,618,514,580,545,587,518,613,1654,576,1654,577,1663,600,1660,575,1663,577,1657,594,1657,577,522,612,1662,571,524,612,522,580,1669,588,517,620,514 640,463,609,1660,599,506,600,1657,578,1657,566,549,589,1649,576,1655,612,1649 592,39804,8998,2193 605,65535 8992,2195 604,65535 8996,2197 613,65535 But I am not seeing what part I need or what intelligence I need to make to get it to work on the stove. It seems like there is something liek a rolling code maybe? for it is not the same signal every time, though simular. I have no idea how to continue from here. any help is greatly appriciated! ---

Maybe this helps, > [@RF Custom App: Signal (from signal analyzer) sent but not received](https://community.homey.app/t/rf-custom-app-signal-from-signal-analyzer-sent-but-not-received/96917): > > Hello, I try to create my first app to simulate one of my RF remote controller. I followed some quick start auto to mange creating the driver and device correctly. Then I used the RF signal analyzer tool ([here](http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/harriedegroot/Athom-Homey-RF-Signal-Analyzer/blob/master/index.html)) to create the signal file, while generated that predicted signal: Signal: { “sof”: [5844], “eof”: [554], “words”: [[550, 209], [170, 586], [171, 5858] ], “interval”: 10000, “sensitivity”: 0.5, “repetitions”: 20, “minimalLength”: 83, “maximalLength”… ---

@Rmb RF is probably not the same as IR …? ---

No, but you still have to write an app, so there will be a lot in common, like signal definitions, long and short signals, payload, start of text/file (STX/SOF), end of text/end of file (ETX/EOF), word definition etc. Maybe some on this forum has done so for infrared, you can search for that.
