Logitech Z-5500

Dountill · November 2015

In the kickstarter video we see a logitech z-5500 surround sound set being controlled by Homey. Since I am at the point where i need to control my Z-5500 I was wondering if the Homey will support this? This can prefent me from buying a new remote.

Yes, the Z-5500 is supported. I have it myself as well

Can someone tell me the z-5500 code (ir or device) i need to use? I don't have the remote no more, but would like to pair it

Just found out that that "5500D" is the right IR code for the Logitech Z5500. Problem is, my Z5500 doesn't respond on the commands send. The distance is the same as the television, that does respond to IR commands from this distance.

I have the Z5500 myself and use it with the Harmony hub. It seems that the Z5500 needs a very strong signal (that even the Harmony hub can't send *strange*) or in direct line of sight with the sender... In my case I taped the IR sender to a cabinet and the Z5500 control to the subwoofer just to make sure nobody moves it.. so probably that's why it isn't responding to homey as well...

I put my homey next to my Z5500, but it still doesnt work. Strange thing is, i have a phone with a IR app, that can controll my Z5500 but homey can't receive the beams. My TV works well, only problem is that when i wan't to mute it once, it executes more then once.

Well, that's quite some different things in one message...

"I put my homey next to my Z5500", "My TV works well"
Like @MrDutchfighter says: probably an issue with the Z5500, you could try

http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/logitech/Z-5500D
with
https://developer.athom.com/docs/apps?path=/tutorial-Signals-Prontohex.html
and create an app...

"but homey can't receive the beams"
Learned IR-signals can only be send, not received, see i.e. https://forum.athom.com/discussion/3590/infrared-ir-adding-a-new-device-remote-control-supporting-sending-and-receiving

I cant seem to find the 5500D your talking about? :-(

OHOHHH! Did some research on the web and found that the led ring must disable when pairing a remote, mhhz. Mine didn't. Manually turned off the led ring, tried to record my Z5500 remote, worked! Bam!
