I have an iMon Inside and my learning remotes were very dodgy with it. 
I finally found details on the web for its 32-bit codes, extracted the 
required codes from the LIRC file, wrote some Python to generate the 
on/off timings, reverse engineered the remote's PC file structure, and 
banging the right data directly in!

I then found that the receiver doesn't resync on edges, so the 
transmitter needs to be accurate to within 1-2%. All of my remotes 
needed slight tweaks to the sending rate so they probably use cheap 
ceramic oscillators.

Let's just say that I've avoided imon remotes since then!
