#!/usr/bin/env python import pigpio class hasher: """ This class forms a hash over the IR pulses generated by an IR remote. The remote key press is not converted into a code in the manner of the lirc module. No attempt is made to decode the type of protocol used by the remote. The hash is likely to be unique for different keys and different remotes but this is not guaranteed. This hashing process works for some remotes/protocols but not for others. The only way to find out if it works for one or more of your remotes is to try it and see.
