AWESOME ! That's one clever trick, using the learning remote to leap-frog to the phone. You're probably right, the Gadget most likely doesn't have the headers and OEM identifier bumpers on the packet. But once you got the Gadget's base pattern into the learning remote, that remote added the necessary overhead to make it readable by any other modern device.

In fact that makes perfect sense. A "learning" remote is only interested in the control sequences. It probably strips the OEM pulses, and substitutes its own when resending the command sequences. That way it would maintain its manufacturer compliance while mimicking other devices.

I'm quite impressed and very happy with the outcome. Teamwork gentlemen ! That's what it's all about. That, and knowing a few good people. There's a recent saying that "people have already figured out all the simple stuff. New things are going to require teamwork." It's very true. So thanks for being good people Rskm1 👍

Feel free to keep the Gadget as long as you need it, then ship it back via cheapest means possible. I'm in no hurry.
