It's opensource, just add it yourself or open an issue asking for addition.

If the codes aren't available on the web already, you basically have to setup lirc, record the code for every key of your remote and give the output to the project to have them added.

If it's not listed here https://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/ you probably have to sample yourself. But maybe first open an issue and wait what the app devs say. Maybe there's a more straight forward way to contribute.

Also, a lot of remotes use identical codes. You might get lucky if you try another model.
