The software will guide you through the steps of adding the new button. Then we want to 'Add a missing command', in the case i'm adding a button to open an app called 'Kodi' (hence the name of the new command): I'm choosing 'Favourite 1' button to program in this example, as you can see it has nothing assigned to the button:Ĭlick 'Teach command' in the bottom right corner of the window: If we want to add a custom command then we'll have to add a signal. If the remote button has nothing assigned to the button, when it is pressed it won't emit a signal (so Flirc has nothing to respond to). Below is an example of hovering over the keys: If the button is not assigned then the software will say ' Nothing (Not assigned)'. To determine what buttons have functions paired with them hover over the button with your cursor. You then be presented with a virtual picture of your remote control (in this example I have a harmony 300): Select the 'Buttons' tab then click the drop down menu and select 'Flirc Media Player' Open the 'myharmony' app (available here: )

This article describes how to add customs buttons to your harmony remote which you can then map to a custom keyboard combination on flirc (e.g. I can use the harmony app on my phone if I need to do something complicated, but really I never do that.For information setting up your harmony device to work with flirc see this article I have no need for the elite with the screen. The projector takes a minute to warm up so it's nice to get it started from wherever I happen to be before heading to the basement to watch tv. I can tell any google device to 'turn on the basement TV' and it turns on the receiver, shield, and projector just like the harmony/flirc combo, but it also turns some basement lights on dimmed to 20% if it is after sunset and turns them off at the end. As an added bonus it works with google assistant and all my home automation stuff.

The hub is an app on my phone that is easy to update. It required a different login for each remote managed if I remember correctly. I got tired of unplugging the flirc and updating it as well as the harmony remote in their ancient logitech remote software on my computer whenever I changed anything. Now I have the hubs and 3 flircs in my desk drawer. I used to love the flirc and had older harmony remotes all over my house. There are suggestions on this on Reddit and the Flirc forums. Otherwise you can’t put the Shield to sleep with the remote.Īnd you’ll also need to plug the Flirc into your computer and teach it various commands with the remote (like back, rewind, play, etc). Then I went into the activity settings and added “sleep” from the second device as one of the shutdown actions. I ended up setting up two devices in the MyHarmony software-one was my old shield settings, which does all the heavy lifting and another shield device that has “sleep” as one of its only three controls (this is NOT the new shield remote settings, which I am not using). The Flirc isn’t perfect, and I ended up using a USB cable extender to move it next to the front of my shield. I actually have had a Harmony Hub for a few years but it’s never been terribly responsive for me. I set my new 2019 shield up the other day with my 650.
