## Description

Product Description What is Flirc? Flirc allows you to pair any remote control with your computer or media center. Just walk through our super simple cross platform pairing application, and you're done. Use your previously paired remote with no additional software on any machine with Flirc. Flirc: Tiny but Simple The USB Flirc makes it easy to control your devices. It even adds functionality to devices that ship with overly simplistic remotes. Plug it in. Set it up. It just works. The USB Flirc works anywhere with anything The Flirc can be set up to work with virtually any box that has a USB plug, from the Raspberry Pi to the Fire TV to a gigantic Windows Media Center. While its primary use is with Media Centers and Set Top boxes, you can pair it with virtually any remote control and any box/computer, which means it even works for advancing slides while giving presentations from your laptop or navigating a webpage from across the room. With a little elbow grease, you can actually use one to launch applications, start up games, and put your PC to sleep. Universal Remote Support If you have a universal remote, there is almost certain a USB Flirc profile available to work with. And if not, you can program a universal remote to work with the USB Flirc just like any other remote might. Plug n Play Once you've paired your Flirc and remote with the software, you can keep using the two across computers, laptops, and other devices, no software necessary. Just unplug the Flirc from your computer and plug it into your Shield or Pi. It will continue to "just work." Compatible with Raspberry Pi NVIDIA Shield Fire TV (with USB ports) Windows, Mac, and Linux All IR remotes, including universal remotes with profiles

Review: Excellent Addition to my PI Media Centre - Won't bore you with a long review... Have a Pi Kodi / Media Centre setup and needed to add a remote to the situation so I bought this. Extremley easy to set up using any random remore control you have lying around the house in my case I used a old Android TV remote that is about ten years old because it had all the play, pause, rewind extra buttons on it. To set the FLIRC up you just plug it into your PC and it will ask you to program your remote by picking a on screen option and pressing the corresponding button on your remote control of choice... it genuinely could not be easier. Setup on PI was also very quick and straight forward and it just works perfectly. Really cannot fault this... fair price for a well made decent product that is easy to set up and use. 5 stars baby!!
Review: Perfect with Shield TV Pro - Bought to control Shield TV Pro with Alexa. This little receiver is incredible. It allows me to add any Shield TV Pro button on Broadlink RM Mini and control via Alexa. It wouldn't be possible without it so very glad I came across it. Instructions weren't very clear in my case, they do have an helpful community but I remember it took me a couple of hours to find how to set it up when I bought it a couple of months ago. So I'm going to explain the process on here, if that can be helpful to others: What's needed: - Logitech Harmony Remote - Broadlink RM Mini 3 Method: - Add the Flirc receiver in the Harmony app. For that you need to add a new "Entertainment device" then "Flirc" as manufacturer name and "FireTV" as model name. It will work with Shield TV Pro. - Assign Flirc to the media activity where you use your Shield TV, you should how have all the commands Flirc will use to control your Shield TV. - Just make sure all buttons like Play, Volume etc work fine. If you need to know which buttons are assigned to the remote for Settings etc I suggest looking where they are set on the remote. If you've got missing ones, you can re-assign them on the Harmony remote using Flirc as a device. Now to create Alexa routines: - Link Alexa in the Broadlink app - Add a new custom (this is very important) remote in the Broadlink app and name it as Shield TV - Tap the learn button function in the new remote you've created - Add each command using the Harmony remote - Create routines in the Broadlink app, they should now be exported to your Echo. This is an example of the routines I have: - Break - Pause TV + Screensaver (great for OLED TVs to prevent burn in) - I'm back - Select + Play (If screensaver was on) - Screensaver (Can be set with Long Press Settings in Shield and added as a new command in the Broadlink remote, just press a bit longer than other buttons) - Pause/Play the TV - Volume Up - Volume Up by 2, 3 or 4 - Volume Down - Volume Down by 2, 3 or 4 - Select I suggest to use Sonos Beam with Alexa integrated as she can automatically turn the volume down on wake word to hear every command better. To me that's icing on the cake, if you care about having a good setup.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have a harmony hub, could I take a cheap ir remote and program each button to trigger a macro in Windows 10 with this flirc?**
A: I don't see why not, but I'm no expert. I'm not sure if the mention of the Harmony is significant? I have the Flirc and a Harmony and manage everything that way. However, you may be doing some more interesting things with your setup.

**Q: Will this let me use my tv remote with my windows pc?**
A: Hi,You have to use a pc to programme this device.I'm sure there is a setup in the software for a media pc so it should be fine

**Q: Can i use this on windows 10 to record the code generated by a remote button so i can use it in an android ir remote app**
A: Remote to keyboard translations are stored on the device. I recorded my codes 2 years ago on my Windows PC and sine then have been using it on 2 separate media SBCs with the same keyboard translations without having to do anything. In short, once I had recorded which remote button translated to which key, I never had to do it again on any machine!

**Q: I have my Amazon Firestick plugged into a monitor, but i can't use the volume or power options as the monitor has no infared. Will this work?**
A: Assuming you mean you have USB on your monitor as well, then no, there's no way to do this. Plugging this in would give infrared control of the computer connected to the monitor (if any).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I've got a set of quite good home cinema system which came with a remote control ...
*by V***. on 19 September 2017*

I've got a set of quite good home cinema system which came with a remote control that can collectively control all audio & video sources that IR controlled via either input the right code or use the learning function. As a Virgo/Libra combined personality, it is a torture that all them sources are under this master command except one - the Amazon Fire TV! It does not use IR remote, but Bluetooth. I can't have that! Then I summoned the Almighty Google: ...how to convert bluetooth remote control into IR remote control ...., Google didn't give me a direct answer but give me a few discussion forums, where all point to a name: FLIRC, and all mentioning a bit of configuration needed if you have some level of PC skills. Luckily, I have and excited to go ahead. Next thing I jumped on the FLIRC website and found that there are only few pages. The website tried very hard to explain what it does, but I have to say the language is still too geek to understand by people who are not in the field. One thing it made me more confident is that it specially mentioned the compliance with Amazon Fire TV. So find the product on Amazon and buy. The actual thing in it's own package no bigger than a pack of cigarette with little introduction on the back. Based on the knowledge acquired form forum and a gentleman's demon on Youtube, I realised that I need download the app from the official website. Once installed the app, it gave a firmware update straight away. The rest process was kind of big relief as no complicated configuration needed for Amazon Fire TV at all! It is within the preset list of compatible appliances. Choose Amazon Fire TV from the list, click "go", then follow the on screen step-by-step instruction, about 1 minutes, the small FLIRC is ready. Then unplug it from the PC usb, plug it into the usb of the Amazon Fire TV, point my master remote at it. Here you go, all DONE! Like: it does the job. Easy setup. Dislike: Instructions is not clear. Does not tell user the need of download the app from website first. A bit of usb extension cable will be appreciated for the price £22!
