I would like to have HomeSeer control an MCD Blind that is currently controlled by a handheld RF remote. I would like to have HomeSeer learn the various RF remote control codes, and then be able to transmit them under HomeSeer control as if I was pressing buttons on the remote. Can anyone direct me to a product that can provide that functionality?

How can I learn and transmit an RF Signal?

I'm in the process of doing just that.
I have got it working by 'recording' the RF using a sound card and an RF Rx and replaying the snippet back through the sound card and a Tx. Bit of a problem with either the carrier or noise trampling all over the 433 spectrum and killing all the other Txrs such as the Oregon weather sensors. (get a USB soundcard and solder the receiver directly onto the card)
Possibly the best option is to use an Arduino or a Pi.
Try these different options for two different ways .....

or

I'm not sure if the rc-switch option works for all RF or just known ones.
Ideally RFXCOM could recieve / transmit RF for all sorts of devices, not just the existing list!
