In case when your radio remote is lost, or you want to have one more remote, you can pair Flipper Zero with your receiver as a remote. The Add Manually function allows you to manually create a virtual radio remote on Flipper Zero of the same type as a receiver. You can then pair your Flipper Zero with your receiver as a remote by emulating the created virtual remote. On this page, you will learn how to add a new remote and pair it with your receiver.
