Please note that if these 40 default IR codes are not working for you, or if you need more
than 40 IR codes, you can "teach" the ISY RC5-compatible IR codes in place of, or in
addition to, these default 40 codes.
16.3.2 Teaching IR Codes To the ISY-99.9i (in place of or in addition to the 40
default IR codes)
If you're not using the 40 default IR codes, or need additional codes, the first step to using
IR with your new ISY-99i is to find a remote or remote code that will work. The ISY-99i is
compatible with any RC5 compatible remote control. If you have a universal remote
control, try setting it to a Philips television. Just about any Philips device should be RC5
compatible. For this example, I'm using an old Philips television remote.
In the ISY-99i interface, click on the CONFIGURATION tab. Within there, click on the IR sub-
tab. This will bring you to the IR configuration page. Simply click on the ENTER LEARNING
MODE button, point your remote at the front of the ISY-99i, and push a button. If a
compatible key is pressed, the ISY-99i will add the IR code to its list.
This is also a good time to test the remote. If you simply press the button and release, the
status should show as PRESS. If you press and hold the button, the status will show as
HOLD. If you press/hold the button then release the status will show as RELEASE.
Once you are done adding codes to the ISY-99i, go ahead and press the LEAVE LEARNING
MODE button. If at any time you want to cancel the codes you have just added, simply click
the RELOAD button at the bottom of the screen to return to the last saved configuration. If
you'd like to wipe all saved IR codes and start from scratch, press the RESTORE DEFAULTS
button. If you're happy with your currently displayed IR codes, press the SAVE button to
save them to the ISY-99i.
16.3.3 Using IR In the ISY-99i
Now that you've learned your IR codes, it's time to use them! Received IR commands can be
used in any ISY-99i program, which opens up tons of possibilities. For this tutorial, we'll
create a simple program that uses IR to turn a light ON or OFF, depending on its current
state. I'll also show you how to use that same IR button to brighten or dim that light.
