list of infrared codes?

Question

I have an app that controls an IR emitter and would like to get access to the universe of IR codes. Is this something that is freely available, or is it a subscription?

(Companies like harmony and logitech have them - just not sure how I get access to it)

(google did not give me anything useful so far)

NOTE - to be clear - I want a list of devices like TVs, DVD players, etc - like the ones that are printed with universal remotes or ones that are downloaded. However, I want the actual specifications so I can control the IR diode(s).

Did you ever find a solution to this? Im crossing this bridge now and these answers are not very good! — tyler, Aug 25 '13 at 20:30
No - sorry, nver found one. I think maybe the best option is to add that into the UI somehow so people can upload the codes themselved (like the old CDDB kind of thing) — Tim, Aug 26 '13 at 03:15

LIRC has a repository of remote controller codes where you can find the codes for various manufacturers of infrared remotes.

that's good. I just wish it was a little more usable - ideally I would like to have device models, not remote control models, but this is good I think if I can interpret the hex codes. – Tim Apr 07 '09 at 21:08

irdb.tk contains IR codes for the devices I was looking for. I used the values given in the Pronto IR format.

Something like this? If the page doesn't load, view the source for other links. For example, here's the Sony protocol.

For using a raw LED I'd hook a photodiode or phototransistor to an oscilloscope so you can see what's being sent. I was under the impression that the pulses are serial ascii data, no idea about stuff like baud rate. Then use a PIC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PIC_microcontrollers or Atmel in a little box with an LED and battery. Or build it into your favorite armchair.
