Inteset universal remote to program volume buttons

I am not a fan of the Roku remote.  The location of the volume and mute buttons on the side are clumsy at best.  I find myself accidentally changing the volume or setting the volume to mute.  For those reasons, I purchased an Inteset universal learning remote.  It works well with the Roku stream bar I have except for one problem.  I can't get the Inteset remote to learn the Roku volume and mute commands.

Does anyone have experience transferring Roku remote commands to a universal remote?

  • If you're using roku code 03061 for the roku streambar? What's great about the Inteset remote is it gives you access to discrete commands like the volume and mute for the streambar by using efc's, these are 5 digit codes for individual functions. So you have to map each one at a time:

     

    1. roku device

    2. press and hold SET for two blinks release

    3. enter 9 9 4

    4. tap SET for one blink

    5. enter 0 0 1 3 4

    6. press VOLUME UP KEY

    repeat for volume down:

     

    1. roku device

    2. press and hold SET for two blinks release

    3. enter 9 9 4

    4. tap SET for one blink

    5. enter 0 0 1 3 6

    6. press VOLUME DOWN KEY

     

    For mute:

     

    1. roku device

    2. press and hold SET for two blinks release

    3. enter 9 9 4

    4. tap SET for one blink

    5. enter 0 0 1 4 0

    6. press MUTE KEY

     

    These commands initiate CEC signal in the roku which sends a command over the hdmi cable to control the tv its connected with.

      Thanks for the quick reply.

      Will the steps you show allow me to control the volume of the streambar from the Internet remote?

        Whatever device has setup code 03061 programmed to it, A, B, C or D. 

         

        These commands are only for stand alone roku's that accept IR commands. These won't work on roku tv's. Roku tv using setup code 14398 have their own list of codes.
