IR Remote layouts/customization

The aqara hub m300 IR feature is amazing. However the remote controls in the app lack customization in layouts and limits programing different buttons, especially limiting for less common devices. Please improve this feature. Curious if anyone has had better success or found solutions that work

Hello, I hope you are using the learning function of the Aqara IR remote. You can create your own unique remote.

Yes I believe I am. I just hoped for more customization in the UI, design, layout etc.

Is there a feature to run automations or scenes for a custom IR remote to act as a trigger? For example I have an old remote and Id like to program the IR so that when I press a button aqara home runs an automation, for example turns on my exterior lights, closes my smart blinds, starts my lawn sprinklers and locks the doors.

Interesting question, thank you, I’ll analyze it now.

Unfortunately, there is no direct command to use the IR remote control from the WHEN section of automation 2.0. You can use your phone as a remote control by creating an appropriate scene for this. The second option of the remote control, the Aqara wireless button (three combinations), also requires a previous scene. If you use automation 2.0, you can make many more combinations from the wireless button. Automation 2.0, lesson 24, code lock from Aqara wireless button
