Learn from universal remote codes? #813

Open erjoalgo opened 1 month ago

Hello,

Is it possible to learn a frequency from manufacturer provided universal remote codes? For example, I have a VIZIO soundbar and VIZIO provides these universal remote codes:

Want to make life simpler by using one remote for everything? You can easily program a universal remote to control your Soundbar!

0660 0883 1517 31517 Just punch these into your universal remote and see if it syncs up with your Soundbar. You might just hit the jackpot on the first try!

Not sure how to enter these codes? No worries! Your universal remote's manual should have all the deets. (We know, we know, manuals aren't fun, but they are super handy!) Or, you can reach out to the remote's customer support – they're there to help you out.

How do I translate these universal remote codes into an actual IR frequency, without having to buy a separate universal remote control?
