5TC6 205 IR-64K Infrared Remote-Control System

Post by foufouner »

Hello, first of all please excuse me if my message is not in the right place. I would like to know how to know the frequency of this infrared box? Know if it is in low frequency or other frequency? 38 hkz? 41 hkz? Because I would like to use this case with R4 mini

Thank you in advance.

I found this data sheet (and also this). It says 38-46 kHz, but that appears to be the range the receive can digest. So you can be fairly sure that it will work with the 38kHz of your R4 mini (I have one such myself, too).

But may I ask what problem you are trying so solve? Have you considered for example using an Arduino with a standard TSOP-*38, like this one?

This infrared system is incorporated into roller shutters. It allows a disabled person who does not have their hands to be able to control these shutters using a remote control. I would like to have him install his remote control in the R4 mini so that he can then close his roller shutters by voice using ok google and the r4 mini

Can this remote also work with my R4 mini?

What does it mean that a remote "works with R4 mini"?

BTW, I hope to support Broadlink hardware like R4 mini in IrScrutinizer in the near future :wink:.

My goal is to be able to enter the infrared codes from the remote control into the R4 mini, then the person will be able to vocally control the roller shutters. They will just have to say for example "OK Google open shutter".

(OK, so my question was justified: no way that I would guess that was what you meant.)

Answer is (given my current knowledge): Probably, but there is no way to know for sure. There is no documentation of the exact signals the Siemens remote is sending. It appears to be a very old piece.

So why not use (the signals of) any old remote you have lying around unused, that sends a well-known signal, like nec1? Alternatively, program a JP1 remote to do the same job.

Offtopic, sort-of: Many years ago, I wrote this page on modifying Radeberger blind motors for allowing remote control. The reed-relays are controlled either by an Intertechno CMR-500, or an Aqara double relay T2. These are controlled from a Homeassistant instance, with a Nabu case connection to the Amazon Echo echosystem. Thus, I lower my blinds by saying e.g. "Alexa, lower large blind". Home assistant is also lowering them automatically when the sun's elevation drops below -3 degrees (which, in general, is around 10 minutes after "sunset").
