BZZZT!! Wrong! Won't work!

I did understand what you meant - you explained it OK.

What I failed to explain is the following: a console button can be held down, and the state of the button and the amount of time pressed can be measured. On the remote, (depending on the button) the button code pattern is either sent once, or repeated when you hold it down. This makes every Tx of a code discrete. How will the empeg know the difference between a single press of the remote * and a hold down, as it will just see a stream of repeated key code patterns?

This means Mike would have to loop and time the number of repeats in order to put "dual functionality" on a remote keypad button - non-trivial, and I seem to remember him groaning at the prospect some time ago.

I am not convinced this is feasible - calling Mr. M. Crowe, O Mighty Respected Programmer of All Features Great & Small, care to toss your sixpenn' 'orth in t' 'at?
