Ahh, it's on, that much I know as months ago I altered the default sleep settings. I'm curious as to why Adb state matters? All the same, will disable and re-test. Thanks! UPDATE: yup, that was it. Turned off Adb (and USB debugging which now makes more sense as to why Adb state matters) and boom, it works perfectly. Thank you for all your help, now I can finish configuring everything.

Jason, many thanks for the quick reply. So I'm on the right track in that case as I've done just that in the MyHarmony application. Inserted Flirc into the FireTV, selected that device on the remote and yet no response to my key presses. In which case I'm inclined to wonder in the USB port is functioning as from what I gather from your advice, the Harmony / Flirc at that point would be sufficiently configured to let me use the harmony to navigate the FireTV gui and presumably Kodi too?

Hi all, I recently picked up a v2 Flirc with the intention of using it with a Harmony 650 to control a FireTV, primarily for an instance of Kodi, but ideally to extend the usage to other apps on the FireTV (Netflix etc.) and to navigate around the FireTV gui. From what I've read, this is a pretty straightforward process, but for some reason I'm either missing something obvious during the setup, or something isn't working as expected as I can't get the FireTV to react to any keypress on the Harmony. I've jumped around a fair bit during trying to get this working, but essentially my steps involved running the Flirc GUI on PC, whereby it recognized the Flirc device and did an initial firmware update. I selected FireTV as the controller profile and pretty much did no more with the GUI as at the time I'd not yet configured the Harmony remote. I also read that there's no need to pair when using a Harmony, so figured there wasn't anything else needed on the Flirc side to configure. I added a new Flirc / Fire TV device in the Harmony application and performed a sync. I kept it simple and created no activities for the moment as I just wanted to prove the process was working. Installed Flirc into the usb port on FireTV and on the Harmony remote, selected the Flirc / FireTV device I'd created. At this point I'd expect the FireTV to react to Harmony remote keypresses. Admittedly I was uncertain as to whether the FireTV at the home screen would recognize the keypresses or whether only when in Kodi. I loaded Kodi which also did not recognize any keypress. I'm confident the Harmony remote is fine as it's worked ok with other devices in the past. So my main question is whether I'm missing something obvious in terms of the workflow to set this up, or whether at this point it should be working in which case I can start to consider that perhaps some piece of the hardware not working as expected.
