Adafruit IRKey with Remote - IR trouble

Post by mladina »

Hi

Recently i bought: https://www.adafruit.com/products/1560

I connected it to my raspberry pi with installed openelec. Remote is working fine, but continuously there is a problem. IR received commands, but i dont press any key on mini remote. Is there anything to do?

We have found that fluorescent lights in particular can cause false readings. Not sure how it happens, but it seems to be the case.

I don`t have any fluorescent lights, nor any other kind of reflection. Even other remotes are not in use.

So, at that point, I am very disappointed with your product. It seems that cheaper remotes works better.
