Hi all,

One of the reasons to buy a Homey Pro was the IR functionality of Homey.  
As that is not working and appears no to be fixed I purchased a BroadLink RM Pro.

This works well in itself (learning IR) codes, but I want the combination. The BroadLink app is not working.

What I want.

E.g. When I press the pause button of my dvd player, I want Homey to control lights.

The latter part works fine, but what gear works for the IR learning and using that to activate a flow via Homey?

Thanks in advance for your recommendation.

Jan

> Werkt uit de kunst met de broadlink app voor homey. Gebruik hem onder meer in de slaapkamer om tv mee te bedienen. Opdrachten leren is een fluitje van een cent. De Neo coolcam weet ik niet. Moet je in de appstore kijken of er een app voor is.
