Hi,

I have two Philips Living color lamp who I would like to control via my Pronto Pro color remote.

Sadly the signal is a RF signal does anyone have a CCF file for this lamp?


Thanks in advance

Do you now have a Pronto remote system, by which I mean the remote and an RF receiver for it?

Also, what is the model number of your remote?

There is a small possibility that you might be able to create a working ccf if you already have a Pronto RF receiver.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

Well, your only chance of controlling an RF device is if the Pronto and device in question are on the same RF frequency.

If they are, you then need to get an RF-to-IR converter (the receiver half of a standard RF-based IR extender system) that also operates on the same frequency. Send the RF command from the original remote, and the RF receiver/IR sender should spit out the resulting command as infrared. Learn that into your Pronto, and if you configure that device in ProntoEdit to then work as RF, theoretically it should control the lamp.

In case you were wonding, universal remotes with RF are *not* designed to controll RF devices, they are only designed to control IR devices using an RF basestation matched to the remote.
