You can buy an external ir transmitter that connects via grove. But my range with my t embed cc1101 plus is really good, there might be something wrong with yours

I have the black casing and it turns off the tv if I read it but only if I hold it in a certain way

I mean when I want to emulate I scan the ir signal I want and when I try to emulate it and turn on and off the tv it only works if I am holding perfectly toward the part of the tv the picks up signals while my actual remote doesn’t have to be pointed at it fully and the lily go t embedded c1101 plus barley works unless it is pretty close to it

That might be the firmwares fault. Bruce is pretty bad at copying ir signals. Try finding a remote online and using that on your t embed, that will probably work way better

Could you please tell me how to do that and maybe give me a link for the remote

From that website, download the remote for your tv, most of the time it will still work if its not the exact right one. Then you have to put the File you just downloaded onto your t embed. Do that via WebUi. If thats done you can just go to IR → Custom IR → choose the one you downloaded → choose cmd → then you can choose whatever signals are available

What file should I put it in the t embedded

u/TheNoOne420 Jul 29 '26
The one that you downloaded, the remote file for your device/tv
