I have never figured it out!
I tried changing the command to BACK, UP etc as dean pointed out, but made no difference,
My commands / scripts work fine when I run them from dev tools,
But this remote never doaes anything, the button lights ip when I tap it, but nothing ever happens.
Surely I am just missing something basic, but as no-one can offer any imsight to what, I gather not so basic!
Had the card ising real estate on my dashboard for months now, might be time to delete this useless addon.
@rootd Not sure if you got this done but I created a fork which has a rokupremiere remote sending mqtt commands, in my case, to a sonoff smart ir blaster. I think my readme text in this fork explains how I use it and the code is all there
Hi, is there someone kind enough to explain how to do it? I have a Samsung remote control exactly like the one indicated in the instructions on GitHub. I installed the service on HACS, I restarted Home Assistant, but now? Iâm sure you miss something to do, because if I copy the code indicated on a custom curd, it doesnât work. I would be very grateful if you help me. If I understand how to do it, I could also create a remote control for my Onkyo and then share it with everyone. Thank you in advance
This integration was 100% what I was looking for, but there doesnât seem to be very good instructions out there.
Once you download and install the integration it seems that ânothingâ happens. If you look for the generic remote card you wonât find it.
You have to create a âcustom cardâ using 100% yaml. If you âexpandâ the âsimple remote exampleâ that is the code you could copy and paste, but it wonât work out of the box for most. You have to change all âentity_id: remote.living_room_remoteâ with your correct remote (ir blaster) ID. For example I use broadlink blasters, so I use âentity_id: remote.mannyremoteâ with remote.mannyremote being the ID of blaster.
You then have to manually âlearnâ all of your remote commands. There are instructions on how to do it via developer tools. Once you have your list of codes you have to replace all the codes.
The actual command is everything that comes after the b64: For each button you will have a long string which is the command.
I didnât like the remote that the sample code uses. I ended up using the PartnerTV code, but you canât just copy and paste the code. If you expand Partner TV it will read something like this:
But as you can see the code is missing MUCH info. What we have here is just a template. The actual code you would copy and paste on the custom card would look something like this:

It is important you don't change the name of the buttons otherwise it won't work. If you want to change name of buttons you probably have to edit the templates which is out of the scope of what I know how to do. For example the "section12" button is actually the "menu" button, but you can't substitute "section12" with "menu"
Hope I was able to help you Angelo or someone else
If you have a Hisense remote model EN2A127H you can use the codes I captured. You would just have to change âremote.mannyremoteâ to your actual IR blaster ID
