Nearly every remote has a toggle button for on/off.
Remotes very rarely have separate on/off buttons
(which would be discrete on/off codes). A toggle
button NEVER transmits discrete on/off codes alternately
as you suggest.
The mute button on my TV remote (which is made to appear as a toggle) alternates between 2 different IR codes each time it is pressed (I have learnt the IR codes and viewed them in ProntoEdit and they are different). So this mute button DOES transmit discrete on/off codes alternately.
To get such discrete codes, if they exist, you
have to ask the manufacturer or experiment.
I wasn't suggesting that this was a method of finding out what the discrete codes were. I was simply saying that this is a way to quicky detect whether the original remote was transmitting discrete codes. (After all, that is how I discovered the discrete Mute On/Off for my TV).
