Cool. What software are you using?

You can download a lot of codes, including the Roomba control codes from Remote Central.

Hi Johnny, I'm using Novii Remote. Free to try, $25 to buy.

Yes. I have a Palm IIIc and use omniremote software. It cannot control it like the remote control but it can tell it to come on at a certain time and do cleaning.

I'm not really sure what the above post er is asking for, but you can download the remote codes for the Philips Pronto at Remote Central.

FYI, the original, silver Roomba is the only model of Roomba that CAN NOT be controlled via remote control.

I too have a Tungsten E, what a coincidence! I love it, great Palm Pilot-there was such a high demand for it when it came out that I couldn't get one for more than a month. But anyway, I also use it as a remote for pretty much everything in my house.

Does anyone have a working set of codes for Omniremote to share? I've tried the codes found at Remote Central, and they don't seem to work for my Roomba Sage. Only the forward, left and right buttons works. All other buttons have no effect.
