+
+An [infrared beacon][lego beacon] works with an infrared sensor connected to the @boardname@. The beacon sends a signal over infrared with information about button presses on the beacon. The infrared sensor receives the signal from the beacon and records a button event.
+
+## Returns
+
+* a [boolean](/types/boolean) value that is `true` if the beacon button is currently pressed. It's `false` if the button is not pressed.
+
+## ~hint
+
+**Remote channel**
+
+In order to recognize a button event signalled from a remote beacon, an infrared sensor must know what channel to listen on for messages from that beacon. An infrared sensor needs to set the channel first, then it can receive messages transmitted by the beacon. Before waiting for, or checking on an button event from a beacon, use [set remote channel](/reference/sensors/beacon/set-remote-channel).
+
+## ~
+
+## Example
+
+If the beacon button ``center`` is pressed, show a `green` status light. Otherwise, set the status light to `orange`.
+
+```blocks
+sensors.infraredSensor1.setRemoteChannel(InfraredRemoteChannel.Ch0)
+forever(function () {
+    if (sensors.remoteButtonCenter.isPressed()) {

+# set Remote Channel
+
+Set the remote infrared signal channel for an infrared sensor.
+
+```sig
+sensors.infraredSensor1.setRemoteChannel(InfraredRemoteChannel.Ch0)
+```
+An infrared sensor connected to the @boardname@ can receive messages (signals for button events) from a remote infrared beacon. In order for the sensor to know which beacon to receive messages from, a _channel_ is used. The beacon has a switch on it to select a particular channel to transmit on. The sensor needs to know which channel to receive ("listen" for) messages from the beacon.
+
+A sensor is not automatically set to listen for infrared messages on a channel. To avoid confusion on which sensor receives signals from a beacon, each sensor (if you have more than one), sets a remote channel for itself. The channel number matches the channel selected on the beacon.
+
+## Parameters
+
+* **channel**: the channel for the infrared sensor to "listen" on. You can choose to use one of 4 channels: ``0``, ``1``, ``2``, and ``3``.
+
+## Example
+
+Select channel **2** on an infrared beacon. Set the remote channel for infrared sensor  ``infrared 3`` to channel ``2``. Wait for the ``center`` button press on the beacon using channel ``2``.
+
+```blocks
+sensors.infraredSensor3.setRemoteChannel(InfraredRemoteChannel.Ch2);
+sensors.remoteButtonCenter.pauseUntil(ButtonEvent.Pressed);
+brick.clearScreen();
+brick.showString("Center button on", 1);
+brick.showString("channel 2 beacon", 2);
+brick.showString("was pressed.", 3);

+# was Pressed
+
+See if a button on a remote infrared beacon was pressed since the last time it was checked.
+
+```sig
+sensors.remoteButtonBottomLeft.wasPressed()
+```
+
+An [infrared beacon][lego beacon] works with an infrared sensor connected to the @boardname@. The beacon sends a signal over infrared with information about button presses on the beacon. The infrared sensor receives the signal from the beacon and records a button event.
+
+If a button was pressed, then that event is remembered. Once you check if a beacon button **was pressed**, that status is set back to `false`. If you check again before the beacon button is pressed another time, the **was pressed** status is `false`. Only when the button is pressed will the **was pressed** status go to `true`.
+
+## Returns
+
+* a [boolean](/types/boolean) value that is `true` if the beacon button was pressed before. It's `false` if the button was not pressed.
