Do you think I should fine tune the method a little next time?

Old methods often work better. Got a remote switch to turn light on in my shed, was crap. A length of bell wire and relay worked better but a bit of string tied to a switch would have been good too.

Faking TV Remote Control with Paper and a Lighter | Hackaday

Cut slots into a piece of paper to represent the IR remote control bitstream for putting your TV into standby. Insert it between your TV’s IR receiver and the flame from a lighter, and pull the slots along to generate the coded pattern. Get it just right and you have a paper and lighter remote control. That’s just what [ViralVideoLab] did and you can see it in action in the video below.
