Hello,

I am using ONN 4K Box purchased from Walmart ? this is honestly the best streaming device I have ever used at this price point. The interface is smooth, the processing is stable and the price is very reasonable. I want to use 2 remotes to control this device, for example: one remote for the desk and a spare remote in the bedroom. Has anyone successfully paired 2 remotes with ONN 4K?
If you have ever dealt with this situation or have any good tips, I would love to share.

Flipper-IRDB appears to have it. Protocol NEC1, deviceno 136. (The Mute signal is probably wrong.) (Found through the RemoteLocator of IrScrutinizer, that can also import it.)

Let us know if you need more help.

What IR adapter would be used? The ONN boxes are RF remote only as far as I know.

I have used the Inteset IReTV on the Onn streamer. It uses the same Xbox 360 IR code.

This was a spam post, probably AI generated. There was a link buried in the code of the 1st post.

I hate that. :( Anyways I can answer the op question can you have two onn oem remotes paired to same device and the answer is NO! Tried it on both first generation $19.99 Onn streamer and second generation too, it didn't work on either. One remote replaced the other.

I do have a thread about it somewhere here. Did try the Inteset IR adapter with both a Fire TV and Onn Google TV. Didn't work all that well. Some of the commands it sends to the device are not the same as the original remotes are interpreted. Even with keymapping apps, it wasn't reliable, as some keys would work in one app, but not another. Also, if you were hitting an arrow key multiple times, it would suddenly treat it like rapid repeat.

HDMI-CEC

If your TV supports HDMI-CEC (most TVs do now-a-days) the TV remote will control the Android box. With my Firestick, I can use either the Firestick or TV remote to control the Firestick, even though the Firestick uses RF.

If the box you have has a USB port a FLIRC USB allow control with IR remotes.

I use them with two of my Android TV boxes.
