Two codes would be sufficient to prevent accidental codes. But, there are
still some difficulties.

The HR12A sends 5-6 copies of a code and each one takes ~105ms so this adds
1/2 second or so delay.

With universal remotes sending to unit codes > 9 is not very
straightforward.

It would be easy to implement with an RF capable programmable remote (e.g.
Pronto TSU3000) but that involves additional hardware to receive 418MHz.
