Hello!

I have an IR receiver. (see picture)

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/5/3/53fe0047ca6ac8ce96ec84cdaf8e978bb1b41028.jpeg)

Can you read out the data if you press a head on the remote control.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I did this years ago with Arduino. I found a library that would read IR signals from any remote and used that to control lighting.

Good Luck

Hello!

Thank you for your reply.

I only have a raspberry pi and node red.

Does that work there too?

OK does that work in Node Red too?

Most likely you'll write a python or shell script on the Pi and use NodeRed to call that script.
