Node 2 - IR remote learning

I have a Node 2 running 3.8.13 and trying to program it with the IR remote learning function.

Mainly using the IOS controller on my iPad. 

My remote is for a Channel Master Stream + (Android TV streamer) I'm so far only able to program the "optical input (TV mode)" with the power button, nothing else sticks (most of the time) I've had a couple of other functions stick, but then the next one wont stick, and so I cleared all and started from scratch, and now only the "optical input (TV mode)" sticks...Is this a known issue, and is there a fix?

 

Thanks,

Simon

  Hello Simon,

  What you have described is odd behavior, particularily that programming one command works while subsequent ones are having issues. 

  When the Node receives an IR command, the front LED should blink twice -- do you see the LED blinking when trying to program other commands? If not, there may be something interrupting the signal (make sure there's a clear line of sight to the Node, and that the Node is not in direct sunlight).

  Following that, I would recommend you look into the documentation of your remote. A quick Google search on my end shows that the remote has Bluetooth pairing, so potentially your remote could be switching from IR mode to Bluetooth after programming that first command, and the Node is unable to recieve remote commands over Bluetooth.
