Does anyone have already this Mediabox working with the Remote two or Remote 3?

The Dutch Ziggo Next Mini mediabox looks like/is the same as:

- The UK Virgin Stream mediabox
- The Poland UPC TV 4K mediabox  
These are local brands of the Liberty Global Mini TV Box [https://www.libertyglobal.com/the-mini-tv-box-our-smallest-greenest-set-top-box/](https://www.libertyglobal.com/the-mini-tv-box-our-smallest-greenest-set-top-box/),  
Here you can find the details of the remote:  
[https://manuals.plus/liberty-global/ziggo-remote-control-manual](https://manuals.plus/liberty-global/ziggo-remote-control-manual) (see Ziggo remote.pdf)

The remote control of the Ziggo Next Mini needs to be paired through BT and send not IR but RF codes.

There isn’t a custom integration for it yet, however if you use Home Assistant there is this one that can be used: [Sholofly/lghorizon: Custom integration to control LG Horizon settop boxes for Ziggo(NL), Magenta(AT), UPC(CH), Virgin(GB, IE), Telenet(BE)](https://github.com/Sholofly/lghorizon)

The alternative is to learn the infrared codes from the existing remote or search the Global Cache database for the IR codes here: [Database | Global Caché Control Tower](https://irdb.globalcache.com/Home/Database)

Thank you for your reaction.

Because the Ziggo remote does not work with IR but with RF, it is not possible to learn the infrared codes.

I have ordered the Home Assistant Green. Installed it and inplemented the custom integration of Sholoflt/LGhorizon. After that I could install this Home Assistant integration on my Remote 3. It looks like to work!

I have the Ziggo Mediabox Next and can control it with IR. It’s the DCX960 Arris (normal media box next). I would definitely prefer to control it through wifi though..

It’s really annoying the mini is the only option they offer. An integration is really needed

Yes, I have them both. My first setup is a Panasonic TV and the Ziggo Next with a coax cable. My second setup is a Philips TV and the Ziggo Next Mini with an ethernet cable. For the first setup I have all many years the Logitec Harmony Ultimate. The Harmony cannot handle the Ziggo Next Mini in the second setup, because it use RF instead of IR. That why I ordered the Remote 3. Unfortunately the Remote 3 it self also cannot handle theh Ziggo Next Mini, but through the Home Assistant integration it is working.

I never realized I could use my home assistant setup for this. This is actually brilliant. Works 100 better than with IR!😃

Thank you. I’m going to work on it

Works perfectly. Only volume-up, volume-down and mute did not work. Created a separate IR remote for this.
