Trouble decoding IR remote signals

Using Arduino Project Guidance
1

Hello everyone,

I just got started in the sdr dongle craze.
The dongle came with a small remote that I'd like to use to control my magnetic loop antenna.
I've successfully programmed my sony remote to work, however when I read the codes on the sdr remote, all buttons result in the same number (button pressed not touched).
Is there a way to program (or read) this remote so I can get different codes?

I am using an arduino uno and IR receiver to scan the button codes with Ken Shiriff's IR remote library and am aware that the sdr remote library is not included.

Is there a library specifically for this remote?

Thanks for your help and happy programming!

If your remote is not supported by IRremote, then you can always use the sendRAW function.

The latest version of IRremote is available on GitHub. Another library to consider is IRLib.

With a lot of remote controls, they send the actual intended code once, then send another code repeatedly to say " keep doing that code "

The idea is that if you have a " volume up " or " volume down " or whatever, it just tells the receivers micro to repeat whatever it received first.

You can write your sketch to ignore that code, and just work on the first code received

Thanks for the help, I will try both approaches.
