At this point, assign Harmony buttons to the keyboard keys
3) Assigning Harmony Buttons
On the FLIRC setup program, click on the Enter key on the keyboard
Hit the OK button on the Harmony remote
Program should respond by saying "button learned"
Now the OK button is assigned! Repeat for all other keyboard keys that are used by the playstation. Here's a list:

Notice that the Pause/Break button is crossed out, that's because the GUI interface doesn't include that button for some reason. You'll need to assign that button through the command line interface:
Exit the FLIRC setup program (a must)
Access command line mode on your PC (select Accessories from the Start Menu and select Command Line, or run a command called "CMD")
Go to directory where FLIRC is installed (usually /Program Files/FLIRC) ** when typing the first command, include the double quotes
cd "program files"
cd flirc
Run the following command:
flirc_util record pause
Hit the Menu button on the Harmony remote
5) Connect the FLIRC dongle to PS4
The dongle too wide to fit the front slot on the PS4, you can:
Remove the clear casing by prying it open with a small flat screwdriver so it'll fit
Run an USB extension cable from the back
Most of you probably know this but to turn off your PS4, hit the Menu button to get back to the main menu, then hit up to select the PS4's sub menu, and the power options is on the far right.
That's it! Finally we have one remote to rule them all (except for starting the PS4)
