How do I use Flirc to send IR commands from mac to device?

[Adam G]

Here's my setup:

[Various Devices (TV, Xbox, Roku, etc)] --> HDMI Switch --> Video Capture Card --> Mac

The HDMI switch uses an IR remote to switch inputs. What I'd like to do is have the Mac programmatically switch inputs on the HDMI switch. I have a FlircUSB and I know I can record the button presses from the HDMI switch remote. Where I'm stuck is how do I tell the FlircUSB to transmit an IR signal?

Not sure if it fits your need, but you can use Remote Buddy to record and send IR codes via Flirc USB. There are three ways to use this: 

- via Remote Buddy UI/action: https://www.iospirit.com/support/faqs/remotebuddy/sending-infrared-commands/creating-an-infrared-command-action
- via AppleScript: https://www.iospirit.com/support/faqs/remotebuddy/sending-infrared-commands/sending-infrared-commands-via-applescript
- via CLI: https://www.iospirit.com/support/faqs/remotebuddy/sending-infrared-commands/sending-infrared-commands-from-the-commandline
