16.2 Using the IR Learning Mode
If more than 40 IR codes are needed, or if you prefer to “teach” your own IR codes, the ISY
features a learning mode that is capable of reading most codes sent from RC5 compatible
remote controls. For best results, try using codes compatible with Philips-brand devices,
which are typically RC-5 compatible.
To use the ISY’s learni ng mode, hit the button titled Enter Learning Mode . The ISY now
waits for IR codes, and once received they will be entered into the ISY’s IR database.
Simply point your remote control at the front of the ISY and press the button you’d like the
ISY to learn.
If a button press is not recognized, or a button is not recognized as expected, please try a
different button/code.
Some symptoms of an incompatible IR code are:
Multiple entries created from a single button press
Inaccurate Status values (eg. you PRESS a button but the ISY shows it as HELD)
We highly recommend testing an IR code well to ensure it is 100% reliable with the ISY
before saving. Make sure the ISY consistently displays the code correctly when the button
is Pressed, Held, Released, etc.
When done teaching IR codes to your ISY, hit the “Leave Learning Mode” button on the top
of the screen and be sure to “Save” your changes. If you wish to revert to the last saved IR
codes stored on your ISY, hit the “Reload” button located on the bottom of your screen.

16.3.1 Using IR in the ISY-99i
Starting with firmware 2.7.1, the ISY now has a set of 40 default IR codes for you to use.
You can import these codes into the ISY using the IMPORT DEFAULT IR CODES button. In
the ISY's Admin Console, click the CONFIGURATION tab then the IR sub-tab and you will
find the IMPORT button.
These 40 default IR codes are available pre-learned within CCF (for Pronto and other
remotes) and MX-J (Universal Remote Control) files available for download here:
