I just got my Skip 1s remote and so far it is OK. IR function seems to be weak I am having to use an IR blaster unless I am only 5 feet away from the device. Pros: Nice looking remote. Once you figure how to enter the button mapping things seem to go better. Love the ability to custom buttons. Works with IR Blaster to help with weak IR. Work with Sonos. Cons: Remote seems to randomly turn off, meaning it just stops working. I know this because the LED on the IR blaster is not flashing. I have to remove the batteries and hold the power button then re-insert the batteries to get to work again. Weak IR. The remote does not seem to work unless it is directly in front of the device. Remote does not work well past 5 feet from the device. Unable to list custom buttons for Roku example YouTube TV is not an option. Took me a little while to find all the functions in the software but I found what I was looking for. Not able to figure out how to switch activities without turning everything off then back on. Unable to add custom apps for the Roku Thoughts: Wish it had Wifi to control Roku. Wish it would be smart enough to know to just switch inputs for different functions. Example if I am watching TV and want to play the switch I have to turn all devices off then turn back on. When I press B it should be smart enough to know A is active and just change inputs to the TV for the Switch. Devices: Samsung TV Roku 3 Sonos Playbar Nintendo Switch Sony Blueray player

Hello folks, I was wondering if anyone else had had any luck changing the sensitivity of the Flirc? I have been using the functions fl_get_sensitivity() and fl_set_sensitivity(), however unfortunately both functions return "-12", which I assume is an error code! Keen to know if anyone's tried this..! Thanks, PM

Hey there. I have a Flirc (metal one) and i'm trying to do some automation. I'm trying do send IR signal to my TV box using the Flirc connected to a Raspberry. I have fallow this post http://blog.flirc.tv/index.php/2017/08/06/sdk-release-linux-rpi-ir-transmit-support/ But when i send the signal with send_ir_raw nothing happens. Heres the command output: ~ $ flirc_util send_ir_raw 0,482,204,200,203,205,675,231,236,141,230,204,203,179,229,200,204,249,158,174,230,205,509,231,369,179,535,236,666,231,203,205,675,231,203,174 [D] lib/libflirc/common/flirc_transport.c fl_open_hid(124): trying to open bootloader device [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(280): --------------------------------------------------------- [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(281): -----------------------Device List----------------------- [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(282): --------------------------------------------------------- [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(293): Device Found type: 20a0 0006 path: /dev/hidraw1 serial_number: [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(294): [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(295): Manufacturer: flirc.tv [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(296): Product: flirc [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(297): Release: 100 [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(298): Interface: 0 [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(299): Usage Page: 384 [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(300): Usage: 0 [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(293): Device Found type: 20a0 0006 path: /dev/hidraw2 serial_number: [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(294): [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(295): Manufacturer: flirc.tv [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(296): Product: flirc [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(297): Release: 100 [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(298): Interface: 1 [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(299): Usage Page: 0 [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(300): Usage: 0 [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(306): --------------------------------------------------------- [V] lib/libtransport/hid.c hid_dev_open(330): Device 20A0:5 not found [V] lib/libtransport/transport.c dev_open(88): no device found [V] lib/libflirc/common/flirc_transport.c _fl_open_libhid_btldr(56): no hid device found [D] lib/libflirc/common/flirc_transport.c fl_open_hid(130): trying to open main device [D] lib/libflirc/common/flirc_transport.c _fl_open_libhid_app(92): trying to open 0x20A0, 0x0006 [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(280): --------------------------------------------------------- [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(281): -----------------------Device List----------------------- [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(282): --------------------------------------------------------- [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(293): Device Found type: 20a0 0006 path: /dev/hidraw1 serial_number: [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(294): [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(295): Manufacturer: flirc.tv [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(296): Product: flirc [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(297): Release: 100 [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(298): Interface: 0 [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(299): Usage Page: 0 [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(300): Usage: 0 [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(293): Device Found type: 20a0 0006 path: /dev/hidraw2 serial_number: [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(294): [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(295): Manufacturer: flirc.tv [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(296): Product: flirc [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(297): Release: 100 [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(298): Interface: 1 [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(299): Usage Page: 0 [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(300): Usage: 0 [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c list_devs(306): --------------------------------------------------------- [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c hid_find(255): Device Used type: 20a0 0006 path: /dev/hidraw1 serial_number: [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c hid_find(256): Manufacturer: flirc.tv [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c hid_find(257): Product: flirc [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c hid_find(258): Release: 100 [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c hid_find(259): Interface: 0 [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c hid_find(260): Usage Page: 0 [D] lib/libtransport/hid.c hid_find(261): Usage: 0 [V] lib/libtransport/hid.c hid_dev_open(336): Manufacturer String: flirc.tv [V] lib/libtransport/hid.c hid_dev_open(341): Product String: flirc [V] lib/libtransport/hid.c hid_dev_open(346): Serial Number String: flirc [V] lib/libtransport/hid.c hid_dev_open(347): [V] lib/libtransport/hid.c hid_send_packet(79): Report ID: 2 [V] lib/libtransport/hid.c hid_send_packet(80): Report len: 33 00: 02 67 65 74 76 65 72 73 69 6f 6e 00 00 30 74 03 .getversion..0t. 10: 00 e0 c6 d3 76 04 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 35 e9 ....v.........5. 20: 7e ~ [V] lib/libtransport/hid.c hid_send_packet(91): hid_write = 33 [V] lib/libtransport/hid.c hid_recv_packet(144): Report ID: 1 [V] lib/libtransport/hid.c hid_recv_packet(145): Report len: 33 [V] lib/libtransport/hid.c hid_recv_packet(156): retval = 33 00: 01 67 65 74 76 65 72 73 69 6f 6e 00 00 04 00 04 .getversion..... 10: 00 02 00 c5 74 00 d6 72 65 6c 65 61 73 65 00 00 ....t..release.. 20: 00 .

Hello all, wondering if anyone has had any success getting Flirc to work with a Xantech IR repeater. I have the ML85K model: http://www.amazon.com/XANTECH-ML85K-LCD-Friendly-Micro-Link/dp/B00K3AIZFE. It works great with all my other devices, but given the variable mileage everyone seems to be getting with Flirc and various IR repeaters, thought I'd double-check. Appreciate any real world experience or other info that anyone can share. Thanks.

I own the Shield TV 16GB 2nd Gen and the Shield TV Pro 2nd Gen (I'm not using the Flirc with the Pro as it has a built-in IR receiver). I struggled for some time to properly set up the Flirc and Harmony 650 but have found a solution that has worked for me. This is what works for me: Run the MyHarmony app. Add the device: Manufacturer: Nvidia Model: Shield The MyHarmony app will ask if it is the NVIDIA SHIELD TV. Tell it "Yes" and you should see a full array of options for the buttons. Program the MyHarmony remote's activities and buttons as desired. Adjust the Shield TV's "start" activity to include: Shield TV Home command Adjust the Shield TV's "stop" activity to include: Shield TV Back command Shield TV Home command Run the Flirc program in connect the Flirc to be programmed. Under "Controllers" select NVIDIA Shield: Program each of the functions. Under "Controllers" select Kodi: Program all functions other than the Shield functions programmed earlier.

Hi I was wondering if it is possible to use the Flirc IR remote dongle to shut down and power off a Raspberry Pi? Looking on the net I found a python programming to do it by connecting 2 GPIO pins and a push button switch. Ampulex

Sorry if this has been covered, I quickly read through 5 pages of topics. ;) I am really interested in this product, will it work with XBMC for Android? Thanks.
