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.
