Just from playing around I have got a few Phillip IR commands
to work.
This is very surprising. You got RC5 signals to work for a device whose original remote sends MCE signals. I haven't heard of that before.
Despite those RC5 signals working, I'd expect discretes, if there are any, to be MCE signals.
The weird thing is I found the power off discrete command
by doing a search under brands on the Pronto. What is
weirder when I hook up to the software and Hit Test IR
it is a power toggle.
I don't follow that at all. Do you really have a power off discrete?
An MCE signal (or an RC5 signal) includes a "toggle bit". Misunderstanding the behavior of a toggle bit often makes people think they've found a discrete command when they really have a malfunction in a toggle command. More organised testing then proves that the "discrete" command cannot be made to act reliably (because it never really was a discrete command).
