FlircUsb (2nd generation) universal remote control receiver for media centers and set top boxes

Won't bore you with a long review...Have a Pi Kodi / Media Centre setup and needed to add a remote to the situation so I bought this.Extremley easy to set up using any random remore control you have lying around the house in my case I used a old Android TV remote that is about ten years old because it had all the play, pause, rewind extra buttons on it. To set the FLIRC up you just plug it into your PC and it will ask you to program your remote by picking a on screen option and pressing the corresponding button on your remote control of choice... it genuinely could not be easier.Setup on PI was also very quick and straight forward and it just works perfectly.Really cannot fault this... fair price for a well made decent product that is easy to set up and use. 5 stars baby!!

I purchased Flirc as a way to remap NAD amplifier multimedia buttons to Tidal on my gaming rig. Works a treat and can map multiple remote/s buttons to a single command, now my partner can pause/play and next track with any multiple remotes. Software is very basic but simple to use and works.

This is a great product, easy 5 out of 5. If you need to control the shield with an IR remote (Harmony in my case) then this allows you to map every button you could need. You can also create custom commands in kodi, assign them to a key on a keyboard, then map that key to the remote. So you can have a remote button to toggle audio streams, or to delay audio, whatever you like really.Don't get me wrong it's not exactly plug and play, it took me quite a while to set up every key, test what is working, fix what isn't etc - but if you have the time/patience to put in this will give you everything you could possibly need.I can only assume, any review that is under 5 stars when being used with the shield/logitech remote, is by somehow who didn't figure out how to use it.

Bought to control Shield TV Pro with Alexa.This little receiver is incredible. It allows me to add any Shield TV Pro button on Broadlink RM Mini and control via Alexa. It wouldn't be possible without it so very glad I came across it.Instructions weren't very clear in my case, they do have an helpful community but I remember it took me a couple of hours to find how to set it up when I bought it a couple of months ago.So I'm going to explain the process on here, if that can be helpful to others:What's needed:- Logitech Harmony Remote- Broadlink RM Mini 3Method:- Add the Flirc receiver in the Harmony app. For that you need to add a new "Entertainment device" then "Flirc" as manufacturer name and "FireTV" as model name. It will work with Shield TV Pro.- Assign Flirc to the media activity where you use your Shield TV, you should how have all the commands Flirc will use to control your Shield TV.- Just make sure all buttons like Play, Volume etc work fine. If you need to know which buttons are assigned to the remote for Settings etc I suggest looking where they are set on the remote. If you've got missing ones, you can re-assign them on the Harmony remote using Flirc as a device.Now to create Alexa routines:- Link Alexa in the Broadlink app- Add a new custom (this is very important) remote in the Broadlink app and name it as Shield TV- Tap the learn button function in the new remote you've created- Add each command using the Harmony remote- Create routines in the Broadlink app, they should now be exported to your Echo.This is an example of the routines I have:- Break - Pause TV + Screensaver (great for OLED TVs to prevent burn in)- I'm back - Select + Play (If screensaver was on)- Screensaver (Can be set with Long Press Settings in Shield and added as a new command in the Broadlink remote, just press a bit longer than other buttons)- Pause/Play the TV- Volume Up- Volume Up by 2, 3 or 4- Volume Down- Volume Down by 2, 3 or 4- SelectI suggest to use Sonos Beam with Alexa integrated as she can automatically turn the volume down on wake word to hear every command better. To me that's icing on the cake, if you care about having a good setup.

When I used it, I had to press the buttons on my remote control twice. Otherwise nothing happened.If I used my mouse e.g. with Windows media player, that messed up the FLICR completely. Say I wanted to move the Media Player window on my PC, to make it e.g. to view a webpage. ... Once I moved the Media Player with my mouse, the FLICR no longer functioned. All it would do with any remote button press, would resize the Media Player window. That was without even having programmed FLICR to resize anything.Some of the functions were missing from the closest software set up with it. This was compared to a Windows Media Player remote control, used to program the FLICR.To add to the pain, I returned the item recorded, waited two weeks, and the company did not refund me. I got refund through Amazon.

Bought this to adapt my Fire TV Cube so that i could use am all in one remote to control everything. This allowed me to do that but with a couple of niggles. There is no home button support, which is only a very small annoyance as i can tell my cube to "go to home".But one far more annoying problem is that it has a tendancy to count a button press on the remote as a double press. So navigating anywhere on the screen or selecting anything can be an extremely frustrating experience. It is particularly annoying trying to select to stop anything showing onscreen as it registers the double-click and stops the program but then restarts it again for the second click!This said it does save me having to use the cube remote seperately which is its original intention

It's super simple, just use the app to record IR signals then the onboard chip converts them to key or controller USB signals, no drivers or software. So good I got a second, I use old Xbox Media Remotes and Kodi but it works with literally any IR remotes and literally anything that supports USB keyboard controls.So much simpler than bluetooth remotes.
