I recently saw what seemed to be a URC2981 remote for sale at B&M in the UK for £7.99. I checked the online manual and thought for an 8 device JP1 learning remote that's not a bad deal so I purchased it.
I first try out the built in remote codes against my devices. It supports them fairly well but is missing a few critical functions.
No problem I'll use learning mode I think. The supplied manual makes no mention of learning mode, strange. I then check the online manual... hold magic then 975 it says. Long single flash of LED... oh. Pressing button to learn just flashes and doesn't stay lit.
I try several times with the same results. It looks like this device has learning mode disabled or there is some other way to access it, which I've yet to find.
The device itself looks exactly like a URC2981, the box has URC2981 on it as does the manual. In the battery comparment it says URC 11-2981 R01. It has a JP1 connector too.
I haven't tried JP1 support yet, I'll make up a cable and see if it responds.
Update: after forgotteing about the thing for years I finally got round to trying it with JP1. It seems to work fine. |
