How to control IR Remote Volume button well

I want to control the audio with Akara M3, but it’s hard to control the volume.

I learned the IR signal of the audio remote with Akara M3.

If I press the volume button once, the volume control amount is too small, so I have to press it multiple times, but it takes too long because I have to give a delay of 1 second at a time.

Is there any good way?

I’d greatly appreciate it if you could let me know.

Excerpt from the document “Data Formats for IR Remote Control Systems” that I found:

Usually the data command is repeatedly sent as long as the key is being pressed. There are different ways to distinguish between a multiple key press and an interruption of the transmission link (e.g. to avoid the TV selecting channel “11” when channel “1” was intended). Some codes use a toggle bit, which changes ist value at each key-press. Some codes send a pre- or post-burst at the beginning and/or at the end of each key press. And some codes send the data only once for each key-press.

It may be that the volume of the device can be adjusted at different speeds, depending on how long or how often you press the button.

Therefore, when teaching an IR command to your hub, try different press Durations to see which version your device recognizes best. For example a short press, a double tap, or holding for 1-3 seconds.

It might not make any difference, but it’s worth giving it a try.
