A family member upgraded his stereo and offered me his Peachtree Audio Decco as a hand-me-down. I couldn’t say no because my previous hand-me-down has recently become buzzy. But, in order for it to work with my home automation setup, I needed to be able to turn it on and off, switch inputs, and change volume from my Home Assistant home automation system via my Raspberry Pi. I use LIRC for this but there is no remote config for the Decco. So I used the remote and recorded the pulses.
Using irrecord didn’t go that well. The dots were coming in but very slowly. I’d have to sit there for 10 minutes pressing in order to get enough dots for it. So I used mode2 to record raw commands on my pi. Then I hand-edited it to have the right format for a conf file and then ran irrecord -a on it to convert it to actual codes.
Since the LIRC remote DB hasn’t been updated since 2018 and has a few open merge requests, I figured it’d be easier to just post the file here for the next person who needs it. It works great. Here you go.
Fun times.

thanks for uploading it. trying it on my raspberry pi now, as my original remote died.
Happy to hear it! I figured it’d be helpful to at least one person.
I uploaded my project to github, including a slightly tweaked version of the config file, and also linked back to your site.

When doing the volume up, the decco still stutters, and I am trying to make it more smooth. No idea if I can do that using the repeat parameter of LIRC
Nice, thank you!!
Just added your project link to the main post. Very cool!
