Will this RCA remote work with kodi?

I didn't know RCA still existed.

Edit: They don't exist anymore (since 1987), other companies are just selling their stuff using the RCA trademark.

The app is for your phone, it's probably just to share the wifi password to get it on network.

If you already have the remote, just try the app.

You said it doesn't work on Bluetooth but is show Bluetooth support multiple places on the packaging. I assume the app is ment to set up the remote not to run the remote.

Did you get it working? Walmart site looks like the app has two purposes:

• find the remote if you lost it
• program the infrared patterns to control TVs

And I found a manual for RCTSB3B here: https://www.rcaremotessupport.com/_files/ugd/ec680a_09673ac29cc34e20b0bbace7835548d1.pdf [it's archived]

That sounds like a normal bluetooth input device, that part should generally work. Programming the infrared without the app might not work, but it should be fine to use it in combination with the regular TV remote.

Maybe look into using flirc usb https://flirc.tv/products/flirc-usb-receiver?variant=43513067569384

In the old days (before CEC), I used to program in new remote controls (I moved a lot) using LIRC and a IR sensor.

I'm assuming that this remote has IR but I don't know if you can use that as an input device via Bluetooth.

edit: oops, I didn't see that this post was a bit old - hopefully you got it working
