Smart home appliances become increasingly more common and it becomes more difficult to manage multiple remotes and interfaces. Furthermore, what if your proprietary remote breaks?
I wanted to intercept the remote communication of the Brilliant Mazzaro and use an alternative transmitter to the remote that comes with the product. With success, I document hereby my findings.
The remote uses the NEC protocol, which is based on infrared technology. If you want to dive deep into the technicalities, I found this article on infrared communications and the NEC protocol. For most people however, the following table suffices. Use an app that accepts these codes or use a library to write your own transmitter.
