- Some buttons are understood, but they respond different when it is executed by homey. E.g.: I have a hometheaterset from Philips (several years old: hts7250). When I press "Radio" on remote , the systems starts with the radio. However after "learning" by homey it ONLY responds when the device is already powered on for instance when it is on tv-mode. When I press "radio"by a flow" then it activates the tuner, but it doesn't do that when the the system is off. Strange. The same for several other buttons (mute). My TV-remote is completely working after learning by Homey..... also Philips, same age as hometheater.

And infrared is just very one small part of Homey and a controlling-method which is really outdated already...
In my example I use the NFC to trigger a flow where a specific tag triggers the "Samsung IR" (TV button) to be pushed 5 times, and any other tag trigger the no-name (Panasonic) IR "Sending IR" 3 times.
My conclusions:
- There seem to be a difference between the different holes. In some of the you can barely see the IR, and in others it is quite visible. (I used the "keyboard side" of my iPhone7 to watch the IR)
- The Samsung signal appears to be brighter than the paired one (in this case Panasonic heater). Maybe that could be explained by the "density" go the signal?
- The # of times seem to be ignored with the paired one. That I cannot understand.
If anyone has any ideas it would be good if you can contribute.
My Homey is version 1.5.3 (only 3 weeks old).
Please watch the video even though it is pretty dark:
IR.TV.LG App does work, but only when Homey is very close to the TV.
The KPN (Motorola) SetTopBox Infrared Remote app should also work for het KPN Arris, but in my case it does not.
