Installation

There is no specific configuration necessary for the Infrared service. Simply activate and run the service from the library.

Usage

To use the Infrared Service drag and Drop the Infrared Object onto the Canvas inside the App Builder:

As a source the Infrared Service uses the probonopd/irdb.

To access the get the right function code you have to build an app that either uses Static Strings or Dropdown Gadgets. If you use Dropdown Gadgets build an app similar to this:

Simply loop back the selected Values of the Dropdown Menus into the service to receive the correct code.

The “Code Out” returns the actual IR Code that you can connect directly to an IR Emitter Widget or store in a Static String object to trigger it by yourself with a button or something else.
