3.6.2 Using the IR Learning Mode
If more than 40 IR codes are needed, or if you prefer to “teach” your own IR codes, the
ISY features a learning mode that is capable of reading most codes sent from RC5
compatible remote controls. For best results, try using codes compatible with Philips-
brand devices, which are typically RC-5 compatible.
To use the ISY’s learning mode, hit the button titled “Enter Learning Mode”. The ISY
will now wait for IR codes, and once received they will be entered into the ISY’s IR
database. Simply point your remote control at the front of the ISY and press the button
you’d like the ISY to learn.
If a button press is not recognized, or a button is not recognized as expected, please try
a different button/code.
Some symptoms of an incompatible IR code are:
- Multiple entries created from a single button press
- Inaccurate Status values (eg. you PRESS a button but the ISY shows it as HELD)
We highly recommend testing an IR code well to ensure it is 100% reliable with the ISY
before saving. Make sure the ISY consistently displays the code correctly when the
button is Pressed, Held, Released, etc.
When done teaching IR codes to your ISY, hit the “Leave Learning Mode” button on the
top of the screen and be sure to “Save” your changes. If you wish to revert to the last
saved IR codes stored on your ISY, hit the “Reload” button located on the bottom of
your screen.
