Hi all, just wanted to advise everyone that if you are based in the UK or Europe, there are now options for purchasing the Skip 1s that don't require shipping from the US and dealing with import fees. UK The Pi Hut - https://thepihut.com/products/flirc-skip-1s-universal-remote-control EU Raspberry Pi Shop dk - https://raspberrypi.dk/en/product/flirc-the-skip-1s-universal-remote-control/ As more options expand, we'll update this sticky.

Please feel free to ask your questions here. We'll try to keep a running list of answers. Is there a guide? Yep! Click here for the Skip 1s Manual If the wizard doesn't set up my remote correctly, how can I fix it? The Skip Manual walks through this, but you can also watch this video: https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx_0KGN0cjdz2_DfUkIz5hIxXPcjCsMwY0 What is Flirc's range? Like all infrared (IR) devices, Flirc works best when it's placed in the line of site of the remote control. What Operating Systems are supported Windows 10/11, MacOS with support for native Apple Silicon and x86. Linux support is planned. Do…

Hey there, I have an original Skip 1 from the pre-order days and I seem to be running into battery issues plenty of other users have run into. These issues have been happening since purchase. My rechargeable batteries last anywhere from 5 days to 10 days tops. I waited for a long time for a firmware update that would fix it but there doesn't seem to be any in a long time now and it doesn't seem to be clear if there will be another firmware update, though I also only sometimes check the forums so unsure of that. I do see that Jason is still an active member of the community so that's nice to see! This post also mentions firmware issues with a potential firmw…

Any reason that device's action can only be assigned to 3 buttons? I'll explain what I'm trying to do. I want Activity A to be "my receiver as a hub". My receiver has a lot of devices plugged into it, so for Activity A I want the TV to use HDMI 2, and my number pad chooses the inputs on the receiver. For each number, I want to have 2 actions: TV - Input HDMI 2 Receiver - Input # (where # is the number pressed) The problem is that the TV's Input HDMI 1 can only be assigned to 3 buttons. After that, I can't drag it to any more numbers. Why do I want it to work this way? Because there are other activities where my TV is not on HDMI 2, like when I'…

Pleased with the Skip 1s but maybe in the next iteration coloured buttons might replace the rainbow wheel. Much faster to negotiate and short/long press configurable. Oh and maybe a more textured back, the present one is a bit too slippery for me.

I have an issue with the smart switching. I set up two activities on my remote. Both involve the same Samsung TV. Only the media streamer is different. On activity is under button A and the second one is under B. When I turn on A this works fine. However, when switching to B, the tv is turned off...? I have to push the power on button again, to turn on the tv and start activity B. So I am a little confused on how I should be able to switch from activity. Just pressing A or B when pressing B or A first, does not switch the activity.

App won’t recognize the remote. I do have steam. Will uninstalling it fix the problem? This is kind of ridiculous that it does t work and the only post by the creator I see is asking someone if they have steam and then not elaborating.

Hi, I just received a new Skip 1s remote and it appears the IR transmitter is dead, although the remote itself is detected and configurable. Works: Skip app detects button presses. I can add devices/remotes. Config sync to the Skip 1s completes without errors. Doesn’t work: Skip 1s doesn’t control any devices (TV/AVR/etc.), even at close range. FLIRC USB (which sees other remotes fine) receives no signal at all from the Skip 1s. All remote tests during setup fail; I never get a response from any device. Tests performed: Phone camera IR check Tried both front and rear…

Hi- Help would be appreciated. Two different Apple computers--two different USBC Cables--400 MBPS internet Firmware updated--same result SkipApp 0.9.995.10457 When clicking record to customize buttons a pop up comes up that reads " need internet- can't connect to servers--check internet. See attached screen shot. Without this I cannot program the Skip 1 effectively as Hisense TVs as well as some soundbars seem to have problems without using the custom "record" for buttons. thanks

Hi, I have a TCL L19A10HD. I tried all the TCL models preprogrammed in the Skip, but nothing works. I can see the IR led is working. I have added the Admin console, but don't know how to proceed. I found this https://gist.github.com/DDRBoxman/c68b68e41a47338496ba8cbd1bb5d20e But don't understand what to do. Any help would be appreciated Thank you

Just got my remote and i cannot get it to work with the Shield. USB dongle is plugged into the Shield, remote is programmed to only the Sheild. IR receiver is visible. I’ve rebooted, reprogrammed checked every setting I can think of and nothing, any advice. I looked at almost every post on here and haven’t found any solutions.

my <1 yr old skip was working fine then i went to use it and got 3 red flashes. now computer doesnt see it, app doesnt see it and the battery removal replug usb procedure doesnt work. 2nd device this has happened to. any way to get this out of bricked mode?

Somewhere along the way my old remote started acting strange (not sure if before or after firmware update). Anyway I do NOT want "Smart Activity Switching" (is a disqualifier for me) so I made sure it was disabled for activity A+B+C before sync. Unfortunately when switching between A + B + C the remote is still throwing commands. I have a second (newer) Skip 1s that I have started using & it doesn't seem to have this problem. Skip_No2.skip (attached) is the export from this newer remote. I have even tried Resetting Skip1's settings and applying the working Skip_No2.skip configuration but I can still see Skip1 throwing extra commands & causing chaos when…

Hello, Current Firmware Version:4.12.6 Skip App: 0.9.995 Windows: 11 The remote is working but I would like to update to current firmware version to use the recording function etc.. No firmware update show when plugged in normally. No firmware update showing when in DFU mode. I have installed the the Skip driver as recommended in another thread. I have downloaded the firmware bin file. I have the the Admin mode activated but there is no firmware update tab on there. How should I proceed? Thanks, Jim

How does the Skip 1s decide which of the macros to send when I click the power button? (I remapped the record button to send power down signals as a workaround)

It acknowledges the remote's existence (and even upgraded its firmware), but doesn't see any of the activities programmed. It's probably been over a year since I last programmed it with an older version of SkipApp (and possibly my previous Mac). A little surprising that it doesn't see the existing programmed config on the remote. Edit: I tried on Windows 11 (Pro, 23H2, up to date) and the same thing happens. It sees the remote is connected but doesn't see any existing activities. This is pretty frustrating. Would sure be nice to get a response from Flirc.

I have the Skip 1s with Flirc USB, with Activity A set up as the Flirc Kodi device. Most of the functions are working properly, but I would like to also add some custom keyboard key presses to certain buttons on the remote. It was mentioned on a post from last year that: "Presumably, every Flirc profile on the Skip App will include all 104/5 keys in the button list. We just won't use most of them in the default setup" Although it seems that this statement didn't turn out to be true, at least for the Kodi device. How do I add a full keyboard mapping to my activity so that I can drag some keyboard keypresses over to the remote buttons?

I love my Skip remote, it's amazing. But this is bullshit. Why do I need to be connected to a server to use this feature? One day this server will not be maintained, and the remotes we purchased will become less and less useful. There needs to be an opt-out on this. Thank you

I have a weird problem with the power button on the Skip 1s. I've tried to sync various different device-types and all has the problem: When I have assigned a device and test it using Flirc USB, power button does not work. All other buttons transmit something but the power button stays quiet. However I can see the remote light up so it senses that I've pressed the button. If I test the button from within the Skip app, everything is OK, the receiver get's a code. However not when I press the power button. Anybody got a clue? Everything is brand new, got it 2 days ago. Remote model: Skip.1s.Release.06, firmware: 4.13.9-0-g114437a, app: skip-app_0.9.995+1…

Hi! I’ve recently set up my first Skip 1S and Flirc receiver with a RPi running LibreELEC. It’s working great, but I’m concerned by the “it just works” pairing. My experience has been great thus far, so I’d like to order another remote/dongle combo and two additional receivers to control 2 RPis and 1 windows laptop in another building. But the question rises: How can I make the remote work with multiple receivers? It seems like it just syncs automatically to the dongle it ships with - is there any way to pair it with other dongles on the other activities? The A/B/C activity switching buttons seem perfect for this 3 machine scenario I want to use it with, but I’…

I am having an issue where no PC can connect to my remote. I know there have been a few threads about it and I think I have tried everything in them including removing the batteries and holding the OK and back buttons. I think my issue is that my remote is over a year old and has not been updated since I set it up. I assume the firmware is to far out dated but I could be wrong about that assumption. Can someone please help me get it connected? I do have steam on 2 of the tested machines, which I saw could be an issue. I tested on a fresh install of Windows 11 without Steam or Logitech, which I saw was another possible issue. Any suggestions would be helpful, I…

I can't find a list of supported devices, so I'll try my luck here. Will the Skip 1s support my Kogan Q97T TV and my Sonos Playbar? Thanks!

Hi everyone, As I’ve been fine-tuning my Skip 1s configurations and mapping custom activities, one of my main goals has been minimizing the perceived latency between a button press and the action on screen. In a complex home theater setup, even a few milliseconds of delay can make the user interface feel "sluggish." To test the responsiveness of my overall system (including the remote's signal processing and the receiver's lag), I’ve started using a high-precision, physics-based "Video Game Entity" as a tactile benchmark. The tool I use is Slice Master. While it may seem like a simple web game, Slice Master is incredibly sensitive to input-to-render lag. Th…

Just got a Skip 1s to replace my aging Harmony Hub and it does everything I need except that it can't change HDMI inputs on my TV when changing activities. I have an LG 60UH770T TV and there are no HDMI buttons on the remote to be able to teach to the Skip 1s. My old Harmony Hub is able to emit the 'InputHdmi1', 'InputHdmi2', 'InputHdmi3' signals but they only last for a second, so while the Skip 1s can see the signal, it just keeps telling me 'Make sure you press and hold the button' which I am not able to do. Any suggestions on how I can get past this?
