Im working on a project for a friend and he is looking to use the IR 38KHz Receiver sensor. He has a ONKYO RC-928R remote. And so far what he wants to do is be able to listen for the remote to turn on and off a solid state relay.
Being that the remote is from an old device, how would we be able to intercept the signal from the remote to control the relay?
I found some articles that indicate that we would need to know what signal/code the remote is transmitting in order to use that within the logic to look for..

The IRRemote library comes with examples that dump data from a variety of remotes. If it recognizes yours, your task is easy. Seems like the first step is to see if it recognizes yours.
If not, remote controls are really, really cheap. Spend a buck, and get a modern one.
Well when i said old device, just meant that it wasnt being used anymore.. not that its really old.. and the device is still available today, but appreciate the information will look into the IRRemote Library and see what we can do with that..
