I'm somewhat new to both flirc and the harmony smart remote. I am trying to connect the remote to my PC to control XBMC/KODI. I've gotten Flirc to work perfectly with any old remote (as advertised!). However, when I try to connect my Harmony remote, I get nothing. I feel like I'm missing something really dumb. Here are the steps I'm taking:
1) In the myHarmony app, connect a new device - Manufacturer: Flirc, Model: XBMC
2)Create a new activity with the Flirc device and my receiver. Once synced, I enter the button assigned to that activity.
This is when I attempted to control XBMC, but no luck. I checked the activty - button configurations, and it looks like the majority of the buttons are set-up.
I then thought I may have to assign the buttons in the Flirc app, but the app doesn't respond to any buttons I hit on the remote.
So...what am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?
EDIT: Think I figured it out. My Media PC is too far away from the IR blaster!
