I just recently got my Homey setup and wanted to set up a couple of simple flows with virtual devices to trigger infrared signals (to mute/unmute my TV etc.). When I got to set up a new Infrared device (From New Device > Homey > Infrared) it lets me learn from my remote, which is pretty handy. But…

Hi and welcome to the community! I am having the same problem teaching in a new infrared remote :cry:

Hello, Same here, and the IR function is one of the features that makes Homey so useful. Actually the reason I choose it. IR stopped working after 1.8 something and never been back. It made me able to controll my heating (for the hole house), soundsystem and ventilation… Now all gone:-( But maybe …

I guess we should file a bug report to Athom. I am having the same issue, and others with IR.

So I did some reverse engineering with one of the TV Presets (Some Sony one, it really doesn’t matter) And I think I have found at least one of the problems. When adding Infrared devices manually to Homey, the buttons you register yourself count as “extra” button codes, which will not be displayed …

Hi Otto! Thanks a lot for investigating! Maybe we can all together solve the puzzle bit by bit. I can tell that putting homey close to the receiving device does not change the situation. After unsuccessfully trying to teach in the power button of my beamer remote I did try all angles and distance…

I have also tried moving it closer with no luck. I think there must be some error in the learning-process. Because when using an app for sending IR to my TV, it works, kind of anyway. Not 100% of the time, but more than 50%. Nothing I can rely on unfortunately.

I’ve had the same problem. IR-device (Onkyo reciever) and trying to teach Homey from the remote. However Homey isnt sending when pressing the button or using it in flows. I’ve even tried looking at homey with a cellphone camera and it simply isnt sending anything. So I reported this to Athom in Ap…

I have more or less the same problems. Manually adding a IR device seems to go well (with a weird maximum of 5 buttons). After finishing the device is added (sending only). But when I want to use it in a flow I cannot select any of the added buttons. They do not appear in the device properties of th…

Same overhere, the IR receiver is 5 cm away from Homey. Learning any button is no problem. But when I test it I dont get any result. This should be a known issue i guess. Does anyone know if there is any known issues list from Athom?

I just send an email to Athom. I will keep you all posted. Athom request number 16420
