 Hello there,

No other package gives me as much joy and frustration as this one.
I hope to master it some day soon, and I need your help getting there.

Can irsend use this device which also comes with a blaster?
What is the absolute checklist to get a working installation with
standardised off the shelf popular devices?

Problem:
irw is not detecting a thing but mode2 works.

Objective.
To reliably use irexec and irsend

Hardware
A zotac remote. Small one that fits in the palm, designed for MCE.
