So, I have a ceiling fan+light that I installed a IR receptor+remote (no brand, bought in a chinese website, very simple).

However, I bought a new LG SmartTV and its magic mouse is annoyingly turning on my tv. The power button has the exact same frequency of the “Light” button on the remote, and the “mute” key turns on my fan.

I really don’t want to buy another infrared remote kit for my ceiling light/fan. I’m using the tv remote on my phone but it’s annoying to unlock screen-find app-open app etc.

Do you guys have any suggestions? Is it possible to change the frequency, either from the fan/light remote or the TV?

This interference is driving me insane. Thank you!

    Just set it up to open the garage, flush the toilet, and start the dishwasher and you’ve got a lawsuit from Staples for ripping off their easy button idea.

    Open up the fan remote battery compartment and see if there are small switches in there. If so, you can set those to a different frequency, but you’ll have to do the exact same thing on the fan remote box.
