Your IR sensor array needs a matching transmitter, or your remote-control prototype won't fire. This 5mm infrared LED puts out 940nm peak wavelength at 20mA. 30° viewing angle. GaAs material. Blue transparent lens — looks like a standard 5mm LED on the bench, but it's transmitting in the IR. Pair it with a matching photodiode and you've got your link
