The Lenovo smart controller claims it can "learn" controls for devices it doesn't know, so would that work?

So if I understand, your phone has an IR flasher and you want to be able use an app to control your Sky box with your phone?

If so then you may need to search for Foxtel (AU) codes (or an outside chance SkyIQ (UK) - not completely sure about it though).

From what I remember the mysky runs a duplex IR code set which a lot of third party remotes can’t cope with.

Just had a chat with Lenovo, not at the moment it doesn't. I'd be keen on it working too.
