Hi. Another question from me about the Homey bridge How do I learn Ir codes to be used to trigger flows? I did this on my first generation Homey but can’t work it out on the bridge Thanks ---

I’m sorry but the answer will be disappointing… ---

This works.

Sorry I’m now more confused than before. With my old original Homey this was easy. It would learn a code and save it as a device. I could then create a flow triggered by the ir code device. Can I do this with the Homey Pro??? I have Philips pronto remote control that I used to get Homey to trigger a Philips hue lighting scene. My old Homey died so looking at the spec of the bridge ( the comparison table against the Homey Pro) and presumed it would work. Have so far learnt that the Homey Bridge only one Philips Hue bridge can be supported ( I have three), that the IR functionality is limited to send only, Hue scenes and Hue Accessories are not support. Beginning to wonder what does work?? ---

On the Pro you can learn an IR signal, and then use a flow to send the copied signal. (With my Homey Pro it works, as in: it sends learned IR signals, but none of my devices respond). U cannot use a remote to learn a signal from, and then have Homey starting a flow when you press that remote button. Afaik IR learning is is not available on the cloud/bridge: ![Screenshot_20211112-224824_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/9/a966e07942946977fd482154e3fc938139263761.jpeg) > [@Chris\_Alston-Baskett](#): > > Beginning to wonder what does work?? > [@\[Info\] Homey - Homey Bridge - Homey Pro Maximums / Limitations](https://community.homey.app/t/info-homey-homey-bridge-homey-pro-maximums-limitations/51811): > > Seeing a couple of questions and suggestions about combinations that are just not possible I want to clarify some of the limitations.

I could then create a flow triggered by the ir code device. Can I do this with the Homey Pro??? I heard recently in another discussion that one of the old Homey firmware versions from years ago did actually have functional IR learning. Maybe your old one was on that version. For some reason since then it’s never worked. It either broke (can’t see why though) or Athom disabled it …
