If you have a firmware between 4.4 and 4.9, try each and see which works.

Load the matching configuration file into the Flirc. Check which firmware version the Flirc is running. An example mapping is given in Appendix A. It is up to the user to configure one or more activities and to map commands to buttons on the remote. This is all the configuration that is strictly necessary for the Logitech Harmony remote. Use command ‘PowerOff’ as the (only) power off command.Use command ‘ZoomLevel1’ as the (only) power on command.‘A button on the remote for On, and a different button for Off’ / ‘I press two different buttons for on and for off’.‘I want to turn off this device when (it’s) not in use’.

In the software for the Harmony remote, the new device’s power settings can be configured as follows to allow activities to switch the device on and off when necessary:

This is normal.Ī Shield TV can be switched on and off using Flirc, and possibly other Android TV devices as well. Device (only needed for Harmony Remote Software): Computer -> Media Center PCĪfter the device is added, it might be named ‘Flirc Media Player’.Configuring the Logitech Harmony remoteĭepending on which remote model you have, use either the older Harmony Remote Software or the newer MyHarmony to configure the remote.Īdd a new device using the following information:

A bonus is that it is not required anymore to modify Kodi’s configuration by hand, since media keys are supported by both Android TV and Kodi natively. Now most keys use media keys from the USB HID Usage Consumer Page instead. In the older post, Flirc mappings were mostly made using keyboard keys.

#LOGITECH HARMONY FLIRC UPDATE#

This post concerns an update of a previous post. This guide can also be used with any other infrared remote.

In this post the Logitech Harmony and Flirc are configured in such a way that they will work with both Android TV and Kodi. In addition, the Harmony device configuration does not power the Android TV device on and off when needed. Unfortunately, the keyboard keys used do not match with other Android applications, which prevents a single Logitech Harmony activity from controlling Android TV adequately. The profile uses Kodi’s keyboard controls. In Flirc’s firmware is a built in Kodi profile that can be used with a Logitech Harmony remote immediately. Flirc receives infrared commands and converts them to keypresses by emulating human interface devices, such as keyboards and game controllers. As the latest revision of the Shield TV (‘16GB, 2017’) lacks an infrared receiver, a Flirc USB was included. The lucky recipient of the gift uses a Logitech Harmony universal infrared remote control. The Shield TV is an Android TV device, which in this case would mostly be used for playing media through Kodi and Netflix. Last Christmas I gifted an Nvidia Shield TV.

I need to link the 4 commands received from the remote to the aforementioned 4 light switches to turn those on and off using my Logitech Harmony.This is a short post about controlling Android TV using a Logitech Harmony infrared remote control and a Flirc USB.

I have checked, pointing the remote towards the Tasmota IR Receiver I see the codes appearing in the console when I push the buttons (but I have no idea about the MQTT broker).

In my Logitech Harmony Remote I have programmed a device using these 4 codes : “NEC”,“Bits”:32,“Data”:“0x00FF00FF” for light 1, “NEC”,“Bits”:32,“Data”:“0x00FF40BF” for light 2, “NEC”,“Bits”:32,“Data”:“0x00FFA05F” for number 3 and finally “NEC”,“Bits”:32,“Data”:“0x00FF609F” for the fourth light.

The “openwebnet” binding in OpenHab is configured and working as intended, all my items and things are correctly configured using configuration files (in items, things and sitemaps).

this is the situation: i have 4 lights in my home theatre, all of them connected to my BTicino MyHome home automation.

Tasmota has no logs on its small website telling me if something went wrong with MQTT, and I have no idea about how to check the communication between Tasmota and the broker from the broker console itself using mosquitto_sub (I tried but got nothing out of it)

I suppose OpenHab and Mosquitto are able to communicate since OpenHab says the broker is online and “greenlit” in the things list, but I have no clue if the Tasmota device and the MQTT broker are actually communicating.

I have an extremely basic knowledge of OpenHab, and NO knowledge at all about MQTT.

Thank you for your quick answers Ap15e, but I think I need to give you some more context to understand the problem I have.
