I'm not an expert on IR Blaster, I've tested it to make sure it works but that is as far as I've gotten. If my understanding is correct raw mode is very low level information on how the IR beam is modulated. But this is a large sequence of information for each button. There are several standards for how IR data is encoded, these allow you to have a short set of characters to represent what gets sent. Most manufacturers publish these encodings (or at least users have figured out what they are), you can type these into the IRBlaster config file. Unfortunately I think the learning feature of IR Blaster uses raw mode, it just records exactly what's happening with the IR beam without figuring out what the encoding is. So unfortunately you probably cannot just directly use those learned "button pushes" with the Touch. All is not lost though. If you can find out what the "codes" are for the devices you wish to control, you can put THOSE into the config file and it should work. There are several web sites that maintain massive databases of such control codes, so the probability of finding them is pretty high.
