Logitech Harmony remote

baltazar

I have a Logitech Harmony 600 universal remote that I would like to use to control my Orange pi PC, primarily Kodi.

Any idea which device Manufacturer / Model should I use in the harmony, to get it working with Orange Pi?

I folowed the excellent tutorial by darqoq http://www.orangepi.org/orangepibbsen/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=541 and I managed to get some response from the IR using the remote from my yamada dvd player, but only a few buttons. At least I could confirm that IR works and the problem are the codes that the remote is sending.

I alrady tried Microsoft media center pc but no buttons work.

I am using the android MMK_v1 Tronfy X2 image http://www.orangepi.org/orangepibbsen/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=615 .

Nevermind the question. It was just too obvious that if the image is from a tronfy x2 that codes should work☺. The x2 is not in the database so I used the Tronfy MXQ. Most of the commands work "out of the box". I will try to hack the on/off button...

You may want to try Tronfy MX3 in MyHarmony. All mapped button worked, even the on/off button worked. Logitech didn't map the home, back, and 1/a buttons but I could simply map them myself under the "Button" menu.

I use the same for the Beelink X2 rom (my TV doesn't like Tronfy X2's rom).

Thank you for the info. Will try it!

I'm currently working on a Linux image. I wasn't able to use a bluetooth dongle in Android.

Also I got good results using a Mede8er MED500X remote.
