IR gateway (UFO-R11) learning code issue

Configuration Zigbee
1

Hi,
I have UFO-R11 IR gateway, Zigbee protocol.
I am using zigbee2mqtt to control the Zigbee devices.

When I am trying to learn very simple codes (like Samsung TV remote, clicking the number 0), I am getting very different codes, for the same simple button.

Does anyone successfully learned and is using this gateway?

Here are some example for button 0 on Samsung TV remote:

Welcome!

From my little experience with the Moes device, the representation of the captured data is rather odd and looks very different between multiple captures of the same input signal. I’m not familiar with Samsung, yours do look a lot more different. Have you tried sending these signals back out via the UFO-R11 and se if they generate the desired command?

There is going to be noise and timing difference between signal captures. However, amazingly infrared signals are pretty robust. Picture below from two captures of the ‘Power’ button of a LG TV remote. Hard to see, however they vary some.

Also below, are three captures by the MOES UFO-R11 of the same ‘Power’ button. They are all different their representation out of the Zigbee2MQTT message. However, when I transmit each of the three signals from the MOES, the TV properly toggles between On an Off, as would be expected.

I hold the remote pretty close to the MOES when I do the captures, couple inches.

I’m not yet sure how the MOES device encodes the raw signal. It is some type of Base 64 encode or similar I believe. On my way too long TODO list is to try and figure out how to take a coded signal from one of the may databases of IR signals on the Web and figure out how to encode this so it can be sent via the MOES. I’m pretty sure this is possible, just requires some time and head scratching. So far, I’ve been pretty satisfied with the MOES IR device. I like the battery operation aspect, the fact it works with Zigbee2MQTT and the price.

Good hunting!

Amazing.
I will try to go over it again.
Getting the database codes to format for MOES somehow is a great idea!

Photons just don’t ‘behave’, it’s that whole quantum thing I guess. Just don’t ask about the cat :wink:.
