Automatic, manual and clone copying options are available for rolling codes, as well as a scanner option for certain models.   Remote control reading   At any time, users can read the information stored on each button of a JMA remote control and save it in a database for subsequent use if necessary.   Remote control generation   By using this app, rolling code remote controls can be generated without needing the original remote. This process can be completed by selecting the manufacturer and configuring the desired settings or by loading up a remote control previously saved in the database.   Fixed codes can only be loaded from a database if they have been stored previously, but without selecting the manufacturer or model.   Rolling code remote controls that can be generated:   Requirements:   - The device must be compatible with BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) - The JMA M-BT remote control is needed to function with the app. To activate Bluetooth, hold buttons 2 and 3 on the M-BT remote control until the green LED flashes. - Bluetooth must be activated on the device for the app to work.
