Sorry, for this to work we actually had to integrate a real CIR RX module that does the carrier decoding and has right 'color' (aka wavelength) for a semi-decent sensitivity, otherwise no use in using a remote, eh? Thanks for coming up with this use case though, I will ponder to at least add footprints for easy retrofitting of such CIR RX component.
