Many of the lighting devices -multi color 'bulbs', strips, modules, neopixel xyz, etc. - are infrared remote controlled and come with flimsy, cheap remote. The remotes have quite a number of buttons, for example, 20 buttons in 4 columns and 5 rows. The remote control has a CR2025 3V button cell battery. The receiving side consists of an integrated IR receiver circuitry in a TO-92 style package w/ three (3) leads (as you also see in the conversation about Reusing some RGB LED interior lighting modules).
Since there was no use anymore for the IR RC parts, I gave it a shot to figure out what the remote control transmits and whether it could be useful to use it as a (remote) control or input device for an Espruino application.
