A large crowd-sourced, manufacturer-independent database of infrared remote control codes stored as CSV files, organized by manufacturer and device type. Codes are stored in a compact protocol/device/subdevice/function notation that can be rendered to raw timings or Pronto Hex with tools like IrScrutinizer or MakeHex.

Use cases

  • find IR codes for a Samsung TV remote
  • build a universal remote app that needs infrared codes
  • control home appliances with an IR blaster from a Raspberry Pi
  • look up remote control codes by manufacturer and device type
  • convert IR codes to Pronto Hex or raw timings
  • integrate an up-to-date IR code database into a smart home product

When to choose

  • you need infrared codes for many manufacturers and device types
  • you want a database that stays updated via community contributions
  • you prefer compact code notation rendered to signal formats at runtime
  • you want to fetch codes dynamically over a CDN rather than bundling them

When to avoid

  • you need raw IR signal timings pre-rendered rather than protocol notation
  • you need a permissively licensed dataset without reviewing the custom irdb license terms
  • you need guaranteed accuracy for a specific device not yet contributed
