IR Blaster works like this: For each bit in an IR command the plugin
sends a high/low time value (in microseconds/modulation) which tell the
firmware to send for hightime and wait for lowtime. The firmware also
applies the carrier during the hightime.

But there is a mode for remotes that do not use a carrier. The format
is called ITT and consists of 20uS hightime and multiple of 20uS
lowtime.

To tell the firmware to send such an ITT impuls the hightime needs to
be set to 1 and the lowtime can be set as needed. The result is a 20uS
hightime (fixed) and the specified amount of lowtime.

So it would be possible to send two different patterns for 'power on'
and 'power off'.

Power On: hightime(20uS), lowtime(10*20uS), hightime(20uS),
lowtime(10*20uS)
Power Off: hightime(20uS), lowtime(20*20uS), hightime(20uS),
lowtime(20*20uS)


Code:
--------------------
    
  begin remote
  name     ampswitch
  bits           2
  flags    ITT
  
  one           1  10
  zero          1  20
  
  begin codes
  power_on                  0x03
  power_off                 0x00
  end codes
  
  end remote
