Add a remote

Add a remote here. Select which kind of remote you want to add and which devices the server should use to receive and/or send the signals for this specific remote. If you want to add an universal remote, you first need to create a normal remote. This is because the universal remote uses the "buttons" from the created regular remote.

Just think about it as in real life: You have a default remote, you buy a universal one, and this one is programmed to use the default remote's signal.
As with a lot of real universal remotes (for example the Logitech or Philips ones) you can macro buttons. So you have one button sending multiple commando's. If for some reason the universal the remote fails to send or receiving device fails to interpret one of the actions, it is handy to have your original remote so you can still perform the action.
Te main difference is, you now do not have to search for your original remote because it always will be available for example on your phone or other used client.
