I am on the latest alpha and the learning function has been very responsive and I am not seeing any hitching or lagging in the app. It seems to be pretty responsive.
Few things that could be worked on:
- It would be nice to have a resizable custom button option to accommodate larger remotes.
- There is a power on and a power off button, but a power toggle would be a fantastic addition to the button option for remote design.
- When updating one of the installed devices, it seems to trash prior button combo configs and it would be nice to have them persist.
- I know the function is still in alpha, it would be nice to have a way to submit learned remotes for db review directly in app.
Over all I am quite happy with the functionality and am quite excited to see the future updates.
Also, I have attached the json files from the the remotes I had the Skip learn.

Battery Life

I am currently on Alpha 6 for the desktop software and firmware 4.13.6-gf65fb2 and it seems to be eating batteries. I am not sure if this is related to the alpha/firmware so I am posting here. It seems that I have to change the batteries on it quite frequently and I wanted to know if there is a way to lower power usage. We are currently only using it for tv/av usage so it is not getting abnormally high usage that would cause such power drain, and OEM remotes get 2+ years out of a set of batteries. In case you are wondering, I seem to have to change the batteries about every 2-4 weeks which is extremely wasteful. I am thinking about migrating to rechargeable to ease the waste, but I am wondering if I can use regular recharge able batteries or should I look toward lithium based rechargeables.
