Infrared

Infrared - short IR - is electromagnetic radiation that is used in many technical applications.

Remote Controls

Many remote controls use infrared. A simple explanation for the widely used pronto format was explained in an article by hifi-remote. A more technical explanation of the signals of different formats can be found in an article by vishay.

Devices by different vendors usually use different codes. There are different databases. The following is a list of resources.

  • JP1 Forum is a community that shares files for different devices. Some like the Dyson codes are a bit more hidden in forum posts.
  • Remote Central also has a huge database.
  • ghartwells SMSL repository features many SMSL IR codes.
  • RCoid features some ready made rcf files. Despite this format they can be opened with a text editor and searched for codes by hand.
