How to: setup wakeup with your IR remote control

vrm42

Yeah, this is wonderful! Thanks to jernej for describing the right protocol, I managed to configure my original MS MCE remote for waking up the device although MCE doesn't use NEC protocol.
The trick is: https://eirikso.com/2005/11/16/h ... -on-your-mce-remote
Model 1039 is able to learn 3 signals from other remotes: TV power, VOL+ and VOL-
So if you could find (or just borrow) a working remote, you can use it to teach your MCE for the trick.
I have tested 20+ remotes so far, most of them don't work (Philips, Technics, Panasonic, Sony, Yamaha, Thomson).
Successfull tests made with LG TV and Asus O-play remotes.
It also means that you can use those working remotes to teach programmable remotes. Most AV receivers have such, including my Yamaha.

Thanks to everyone for making it possible!

Forgot to mention: when you teach your MCE remote, batteries must be fresh!

Just for reference:

You can recognize NEC by following numbers:

1. header       9000  4500
   
2. one           562  1687
   
3. zero          562   562
   
4. ptrail        562
   
5. repeat       9000  2250

Copy code

They can deviate by few 10's of microseconds

I'm new here and I need a bit of help please. I've been trying to get the wakeup function by remote going on a Sunchip tv box that I've loaded with Openelec.
I believe that the board is very similar to the Orange Pi 2.
I hope someone can do the conversions for me for the power key and the pre_data.
Pre_data = 0xFF and the power key code = 0x18E7.

Thanks in advance.

Never mind, I've got it working. In script bin under [s_cir] the settings are in decimal. Also, I found a config file for Android IR settings and saw that the POWER button is "24".
I converted the pre_data in my lircd.conf to decimal and entered that in script.bin and now I have it working

Thanks for all the info to give me a clue on what was needed to get my remote to work properly.

Hey guys, can someone explain me if there is an opportunity to enable Wake On Lan feature from iOS Kodi application from either hibernate, or sleep modes, please???

Hi! I have opened my lircd.conf, but I see its 32 bit instead of 16. What should I do in such case?
This is what I have in my file:

          end codes

end remote

As you see I don't have pre_data and, so am I unable to use this remote for wakeup?

Hey guys, I have tried another remote from SAMSUNG that is close to NEC but I can't get it to work anyway. Perhaps, I did the wrong conversion. Could you help me with it, please?

Hey guys! I have finally found out what is the reason why does my Pi wake up function isn't working.

I have configured my remote adding the "key_sleep" command just as described in this thread, but when I press this button it sends the "power off" command instead (I can see that the power LED turns off and my cooler fan does also as I have connected it to 3.3V! Of course, my remote is unable to wake up the board from that state.
If I enter the Kodi "Power off" menu there is an option of "Suspend" which I suppose should be executed if I use "key_sleep" button on my remote. Please confirm this!? If I chose it, the power LED switches to red instead of green and my fan continues to work which indicates that CPU is powered and the board really enters into Suspend, not turns off. Besides this, I am finally able to wake up my Pi with remote from such state!
So, could you help me, please!? Why does my remote turns off the board completely, instead of entering Suspend when I use the "key_sleep" button?
And the second question is: when I wake up my board with the remote after Suspend it looses all of its settings like MAC address and others and I have to reboot it every time after that, because my phone is unable to find Kodi in my network. Why is this happening and how can I solve this issue?

Please note, all this is happening on your prebuilt image from this forum on LibreELEC 7.0 & Kodi 16.1 Jarvis (LibreELEC-H3.arm-7.0-devel-20170315133149-r1-g8c36222-opiplus2e).
If I install OpenELEC 7.0 & Kodi 16.1 Jarvis image with the latest update (OpenELEC-H3.arm-7.0-devel-20170221190834-r23330-g94644893c) which is also from this forum, it doesn't have the "Suspend" option in the Kodi menu at all! And I suppose the "key_sleep" won't work in such case, would it!? Please confirm!?

Can someone help me, please?
I would appreciate any help, really!

Is anybody here on this forum???

Here is what I've got after I wake up with remote after Suspend mode! How can I solve this problem?
