10. Learning a New IR Command
•
•
If you’ve tried all of the Manufactures IR Codes for a specific device and none are able to control your device,
don’t worry, i-Got-Control and the IRB1 can easily learn the codes from your devices original remote.
There also may be times a specific command might not be correct or you would just like to add a command
that is not automatically placed onto the i-Got-Control remote screen.
First add a device you wish to learn to.
•
From the HOME Screen select the Edit Button.
•
•
Once in the EDIT screen press the devices blue Learning cap.
After the Learning Hat is pressed, a Remote Screen for the Source will appear. Select the button to be learned
on (i.e. POWER on the iPhone Remote) and the Learn Dialog box will appear. Before pressing the Learn Button,
align the i-Got-Control remote and the mfg’s source remote as shown below about 1”-2”’s apart.
Make sure there are no bright lights, sun-light or other types of IR interference present.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Press the LEARN button and the IRB1 Led’s will begin to blink GREEN. At this time do a very quick tap of the button
to learned on the MFG’s original remote (i.e. POWER in this example).
If successful the LED’s will blink SOLID Green and then go out. If Un-successful they will blink RED and an error
screen will appear. If Error, please repeat the previous step and remember to use a very ‘quick’ tap of the mfg’s
remote.
Select TEST to test the learned command and if correct, select Done. Repeat for all commands to be learned.
After all desired commands are learned, press the HOME button to return to the Edit Page and then select DONE
to store the new commands.
TRICKS for Proper Learning: 1) Make sure MFG remote has fresh Batteries 2) direct MFG remote to front left of IRB1
(that is where the learning eye is located) 3) Make sure there is no interference from Sunlight, Florescent light etc.

12. Programming Macroʼs
Macro’s are customizable buttons you can use for any IR function you desire; A favorite Channel, turning a light
ON/OFF, setup your devices for playing a DVD etc….
Macro buttons can have 1 command associated with the button or numerous commands. It is totally up to you
and what you want the button to do. You can also name the button what ever you like to associate it to the
new function.
There are 12 macro buttons for each device you create and since i-Got-Control supports unlimited # of devices,
it is quite possible to have Unlimited x 12 macro buttons which last I checked = UNLIMITED MACRO’s!!!!

Note: Macro buttons require ‘learning’ IR commands for each command you desire, so you will need the MFG
remotes you will be learning from.
Learning the first Command
Before pressing the Learn Button, align the i-Got-Control remote and the mfg’s source remote about 1”-2”’s
apart as shown in Section 10.
Make sure there are no bright lights, sun-light or other types of IR interference present.
Press the LEARN button and the IRB1 Led’s will begin to blink GREEN. At this time do a very quick tap of the button
to be learned on the MFG’s original remote (i.e. Channel 5).
If successful the LED’s will blink SOLID Green and then go out. If Un-successful they will blink RED and an error
screen will appear. If Error, please repeat the previous step and remember to use a very ‘quick’ tap of the mfg’s
remote.
Select TEST to test the learned command.
Adding Delay’s
Delays are often desired when doing multiple commands to a single device (i.e. Favorite Channel Macro). I-GotControl allows the ability to insert Delays in-between commands within the Macro.
To add a delay Press Add Delay. Each press of this button will add a 0.5second delay. To add more delays,
simply press the Add Delay again.
Typically for Channel Macro’s, add 2 delays between commands for a total of a 1 second delay.
To add another command press the NEXT COMMAND button and repeat the learning process as noted above.
