📄 Infrared (IR)

How to Send Multiple IR Commands with Delays?

Smart IR remotes, such as the LinknLink eRemote or eHub, can assist with app or voice control. But how can an IR remote handle setups that require multiple IR operations to be performed sequentially with controllable intervals?

For instance, if you want to switch your input to HDMI2, you might need to:

Turn ON the TV (15s) Press Up (2s) Press OK (2s) Press Right (2s) Press OK (2s) to select HDMI2 as the input

Here is a simple and effective way to set this up:

1/ In LinknLink App, add a "General Scene" 2/ Add actions 3/ Click the "Timer" icon next to each action to set delay

6. FAQ

Why My RF Device Can't be Controlled?

The incompatibility with your RF device is likely due to its use of rolling code.

Rolling codes (also called hopping codes) are commonly used in radio frequency (RF) control systems, especially those requiring strict access control or enhanced privacy.

How it works:

• Your remote sends a digital message to the receiver.
• If the receiver finds the code in the message acceptable, it triggers an action (e.g., actuates a relay, unlocks a door).
• Simple remotes use fixed codes that remain unchanged, meaning the same code that opens your gate today will work tomorrow. This makes them vulnerable to attackers who could intercept and use the code later.
• More secure systems employ rolling codes that change with every use. While an attacker might capture the current code, it won't work for future attempts.

Rolling codes employ encryption methods allowing the remote and receiver to share codes while making it difficult for someone to crack the encryption. This technology is also used in some curtain/blind/shade motors for increased privacy.

Therefore, even if the eRemote successfully learns the RF code, it cannot control your device. This is not a flaw in LinknLink technology, but rather the intended functionality of rolling codes, designed to prioritize security and privacy.

Here are known brands using rolling codes and incompatible with LinknLink:
