I’ve just copied a remote for my menuett robot vacuum cleaner. The homey did copy the buttons. But it won’t send them to the robot. When I run a flow, nothing happens. Anyone know what to do?

I have tried to unplug the homey for 20 mins. And I have copied the remote several times.

It’s an “experimental” feature, which means “it’s great if it works, but don’t expect it to”.

After some research Ive discovered that many have experienced the same problem.

From what I can tell the IR learning feature simply doesn’t work and has never worked since it was added and doesn’t actually do anything…

I thought athom advertised that I could throw away my remotes because homey could do the work…
