  3. Each captured signal appears in the list with protocol details as sublabel (e.g. NEC A:04 C:08 or RAW 38kHz 68pts)
  4. Duplicate signals are automatically filtered — the same signal won't appear twice
  5. Tap a signal to replay it (requires TX pin)
  6. When done, select Save Remote to save all captured signals to a .ir file in /unigeek/ir/

Adding Remote Files

Manually

Place .ir files in /unigeek/ir/ on the device storage (SD card or LittleFS). Files follow this format:

Filetype: IR signals file
Version: 1
#
name: Power
type: parsed
protocol: NEC
address: 04 00 00 00
command: 08 00 00 00
#
name: Volume_Up
type: raw
frequency: 38000
duty_cycle: 0.330000
data: 9024 4512 564 564 564 1692 564 ...
#
  • type: parsed — protocol-based signal with address and command in little-endian hex bytes
  • type: raw — raw timing data as space-separated microsecond durations
  • Signals are separated by #
  • Files from Flipper-IRDB work directly

Download from Device

Download IR remote files over WiFi directly to the device:

  1. Connect to a WiFi network (WiFi > Connect)
  2. Go to WiFi > Network > Download > Infrared Files
  3. Browse categories (TVs, ACs, Fans, Projectors, Sound Bars, etc. — 46 categories)
  4. Select a category to download all remote files in it
  5. Files are saved to /unigeek/ir/downloads/{category}/
