Any new infrared event has by default the number of repetitions as 0. You Need to be careful with girder 6 new events. For your convenience, I included the zip file of lrnhelper. I simply copy and pasted the learned coded into girder 6 events. I used a free program called lrnhelper to accept the more common short bursts from my Remotes. Although girder 6 can learn remotes I found it to be very troublesome. Next go to the device manager (in settings) and have the USB uirt enabled.

In the girder 6 settings select the USB uirt plugin (this for me Was the only plugin I needed). The first step is to install the USB uirt driver. Girder 6 is the engine behind home automation of infrared devices. Of course for this wonderful software to run, you Need an always on pc (preferably low power and energy efficient). The emitter I placed by the TV I simply stuck on with the adhesive it came with. The extra emitters need to be right on the receiver for the appliance since they don't put out enough power to use at long range (like a standard remote). The air conditioning unit in my bedroom I control using an extension chord for 3.5mm mono audio and plugged an infrared emitter group into it. My USB uirt I wedged behind my TV to allow it to control the air conditioning unit for the living room. One (or more via a splitter) of these can Be Plugged into the uirt 3.5mm port. Any infrared controlled device that is not in line of sight with the USB uirt can easily be controlled via infrared emitters.

The transceiver allows reading of any infrared remote codes and transmission of those codes. The key behind creating the universal remote is the John Rees USB uirt. Read on and I hope you find my work interesting. I even extended the use of this setup from home comfort to home access: It does NOT NEED a built in infrared emitter! In fact I never use the one in my Galaxy Note 4! This automation setup uses wifi, so the more power your wifi router transmits, the larger the range you shall have! Please note that any android phone or tablet can be used in this instructable. Also, all of this is powered from my solar power system: This guy is an absolute genius! The license I purchased is for the standard version (50USD) of girder 6 and trust me when I say its worth every cent. My deepest thanks to Ron Bessems of promixis for his assistance on getting my home automation using girder 6 and netremote dynamic working perfectly. My continuing drive to unify all my remote control needs into one device has lead me to certain hardware and software to enable my android phone as a true Universal Remote.
