A friend got this for me, but I'm struggling to put it into any useful purpose, any pointers with things I can experiment it. Using it as a remote seems so cool, esp bc I lost my roku remote not so long ago so if you have any resources that could help I'd appreciate it. The documentation I've seen so far seems far and scattered and it seems people are more scared of being implicit in illegal activities based on their resources.

Not answering your question, but the Roku app includes a better version of the remote.

Great tool for learning Bluetooth Pen-testing. I run BTCTF-Infinity on an ESP32, powered through the flippers GPIO. It creates the BTCTF environment and I use the flipper to crack the examples. Kinda like a self-contained gaming handheld for BT practice.

You can buy a Roku remote for like $5.

For IR remotes, there are a few ways to go about it. If you have a remote you want to clone, you can just use the flipper to clone and map buttons to a custom remote. If you don't have the remote and have a common device (like TVs), I would check this repo on Github [0] and see if you can find a compatible IR file. Note, you need a micro SD card in order to move the files onto the flipper, but a small one works fine. I've had good luck with the basic universal remote when I'm in a pinch. Also, you can create custom IR files, but it can be a pain with encoding. The flipper forums are a good resource too [1].

  Seems like there is at least a bit of interest [1] to convert lirc definitions [2], which is great, because there are so many of them. There even is a definition for my about 30 years old hifi! A really nice hack I saw is to send the code via something that reads lirc and capture it with a flipper in learning mode [3].
