With Beo Config Tool for Beo 5 and 6 both remotes can send every possible infrared code.

You'll need pronto codes and convert them or an Ir code learner like the Lintronic TT238 box (which I use). With the Lintronic box I can copy every infrared remote I have at home to finally just use a Beo 5 for everything.

Lintronic TT238 + Beo 5 / 6 is the best remote package for me compared with Logitech Harmony etc.

The only better solution would be RTI or Crestron remotes.

Thank you both for your help and info bdm01 and TWG!

Got now my FLIRC USB, but what is the best remote to chose for the amazon fire box (11 buttons) from the ct tool?

The Apple remote only has 7 buttons (in the configuration tool and original) but the amazon ha 11(12 is for the micro)? Which remote you chose in the ct for train with the flirc?

Flirc USB works with the PS4 too, i.e. as bluray remote...

Hello TWG,

If I buy Lintronic TT238 would it be possible that I use it only to learn/convert codes from various IR remotes into XML for Beo5 remote?

And then to replace AC, TV, AppleTV and other remotes with Beo5?

Thanks & cheers!

@Jack:
Could you solve the amazon fire tv box problem with ct tool? Do you use the Flirc USB with the PS4 or was this just a guess?

@AnalagPlanet:
Yes, at least with the old ones (Hardware 5.1...) it was possible and that's what I did with it. :-) Michael from Lintronic helped me when I got problems!

The software for learning has a bug where it renames the last learned command to "new function" when you copy another "new function". That means a little more effort but it works. I've read from other people that they simply edited the XML file after learning the commands. I can't comment on that as I have no programming knowledge. :)

Do NOT install the latest config tool from B&O because they remove the possibility of mixing B&O and non B&O commands on the hardware buttons.

Thank you for the hint TWG. :)

I bookmarked the CT 5.12 as it was a referent version in the Configuration Guide published here on Beoworld Forum... ...so I'll try with that one. 

In essence, I just bought Beo5 the other day on eBay as it was cheap and I like it as a small tech-sculpture more than I really badly need its function. Still, I have no remote for my Beocenter 8500 so I will use it for that and then I thought well, I might also program basic commands of my LG TV and AC on/off command in the living room. Just to add a bit more "magic" to it.

Let's see how that goes once I receive it. :)
