At the end of the Freebox Revolution, Xavier Niel had been a pleasure to introduce the new remote control box incorporating a radio transmitter / receiver in place of the infrared, to bring new way to interact with the interface navigation, which was not previously possible with the old model. Free users but many have requested support from infrared to be able to use only one universal remote to control their home theater system via a Logitech Harmony or Tablet Sony S, for example.
Through the voice of Nicolas Pouillon, a developer Freebox, the official Free solution to this request is apparently already ready for a long time. Namely, the receiver chosen is none other than the small IR-605Q can be purchased individually. It can be found in France for twenty euros with a remote control.
This small USB dongle is already supported in the current firmware of the Freebox, and also provides full support for the old remote version 5, except for the lighting of the new Freebox from a deep sleep ... USB ports of the housing in this case being over powered.
The remote control codes used will be identical to the codes of AliceBox V5, already in the foundation of universal remote controls. Knowing that the remote control codes are set, maintaining the consistency over time on future updates will be provided for this receptor, because the support of all infrared receivers on the planet would take too much time.
For now, we have no date of availability of this small USB dongle in the shop Free. We do not know if it will be included soon for new subscribers.
