Hi Marc,

Welcome to the Bond Community!

First off, it’s most helpful if you post the FCC ID and a picture of the front/back of your fireplace remote. The FCC ID is not personally identifying, but rather lets us know what RF protocol you are referring to.

Second, did you have to record more than one button? Or did the Bond app find a result in our database?

Good news is, either way, if you are familiar with using an HTTP API, you should be able to modify this yourself.

Navigate to the command(s) you want to modify, and then PATCH devices//commands//signal with `{"reps": n}` where `n` is the number of times you want to repeat the command. See docs here: [Bond Local API](http://docs-local.appbond.com/#tag/Device-Command-Signal/paths/~1v2~1devices~1%7Bdevice_id%7D~1commands~1%7Bcommand_id%7D~1signal/patch)
