Click on Go, and the software will walk you through pairing your remote control.įor a deeper guide using the Flirc Graphical User interface, please see the ghraphical user interface chapter. Once the Flirc GUI is installed, fire it up and select the file menu called controllers, and choose 'NVIDIA Shield'.
FLIRC HARMONY SETUP INSTALL
Head to your computer, and install the flirc software. In this case, make sure the NVIDIA Shield remote is active on your harmony. So activate the new device we created on your harmony. Now that you have a device on your harmony, we'll want to pair this with flirc for the corresponding application/device we'll be using it with.

If you’re using the FLIRC, enter Flirc for the manufacturer, and the name of your media center program for the model number (like Kodi or Plex). Head to the Devices tab and click the Add Device button. Since this part is relatively specific to individual setups, we wont walk through a particular example. Once it’s all set up, open the MyHarmony software on your computer and select your remote from the list. This is the part where you'll create an activity or add it to an existing activity. However, if you have a harmony, you'll most likely want to setup an activity. In this example, we're going to be using NVIDIA Shield So to help avoid any confusion and make this cohesive, let's rename it to our example, NVIDIA Shield.Įnter in the name of your device. It's meaningless that it's called a Samsung device on your remote. We're then going to pair our remote with Flirc using the cross platform GUI, for whatever app/device we want. What's important is our remote control is going to send out signals on button presses. For example, you can grab a logitech harmony or an inteset remote, add the flirc - firetv profile to your remote, and your remote + flirc will work with your firetv without any additional setup. To my surprirse this Harmony profile does not activate all the buttons on the remote (such as Record or Guide) and you have to manually 'teach' them to the remote. Note - Autocomplete will not work when entering the model numberĬonfirm that the device is added, it should now be shown in your device list Various remote control partners support these built in profiles for seemless setup. I've set up the Harmony with the following device - manufacturer 'Flirc' model 'Kodi'. Add an Arbitrary DeviceĬlick on the big blue plus button labeled "Add device".Īdd an arbitrary device to your remote, we recommend Samsung, but make sure you don't have a samsung device in the same room as the shield.Īgain, as an example, add Samsung as a manufacturer.Īdd an arbitrary model number, like: UN55HU6840

Just make sure that the device does not exist in your living room, otherwise, your harmony will control both your newly paired flirc, as well as the device. We recommend Samsung or Panasonic devices. For example, if you would like to use your harmony with NVIDIA Shield, add an arbitrary device to your harmony. It is not necessary to have a supported Flirc Logitech device in the harmony software.
