One way that might get around this is to have your code only respond to a given pair of "Address" and Command". For instance, only the pair of Address = 26 && Command = 3 will cause it to take a specific action.

One thing that I noticed when playing with my Universal remote, most of the Sony devices ==> (Address), use the same Commands when the same button is pressed. So if you are just looking at Command, you may have issues.


Here is something that might also help. When you configure the remote to control a Sony Audio amplifier, it uses really odd "Command" values. ie: 63, 57, 67 for buttons like 1, 2 and 3. Also 3-9 use the same command. (This is the odd behavior I mentioned in a different thread, and we took advantage of this year. We never once had interference.)
