USB Pass Through

Works like a dream. Does what it claims. Nice pleasant charming product.

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!!

I purchased Flirc as a way to remap NAD amplifier multimedia buttons to Tidal on my gaming rig. Works a treat and can map multiple remote/s buttons to a single command, now my partner can pause/play and next track with any multiple remotes. Software is very basic but simple to use and works.

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.

I bought several of these for work projects and, in general, they've helped me provide my clients with alternative means of accessing steaming devices (shipped with Bluetooth only remote controls) with regular Infra-Red ones. Why would you want to do this you ask? Well some people with limited hand functions aren't able to operate small remote controls and the only way to use their streaming devices like Firesticks is to use another handset. Often HDMI-CEC can be the answer which allows people to use their TV's remote to do so. However, if a client's TV doesn't feature this protocol (it's either too old or a budget model) another way of controlling the streaming device is needed. And this is where the FLIRC FireTV edition can come in useful. It simply plugs in between the streaming device and the streaming devices own power adaptor. Prior to doing this, the FLIRC can be programmed with a number of pre-defined device profiles (you need to download an app first though!) and then it walks you through using an existing Infra-Red remote control to provide a signal for each button you want to emulate. However, I found it was a bit fussy about the remote controls used and the greatest success I've had is with harvesting the Infra-Red signals from a Sky TV remote control - these were the easiest to record and the most reliable in use. When it works, it works great though. One disappointment is that there isn't a larger selection of pre-defined streaming device profiles. Many streaming sticks now come with Bluetooth only remote controls and even Virgin Media's Stream box is Bluetooth only. There is no profile for this and I've not been able to get the FLIRC to play nice with it. So, in summary, if you have a streaming device that's listed in the pre-defined profiles, it can work well. But you may need to try a number of sources of Infra-Red signals.

Using with a Logitech universal remote and Kodi. Perfect.

Great little device - very easy to setup, works well on a NUC media player

How is this not already a household device?! Everyone should have one of these! Well, for... I guess maybe just my use case, where you have a laptop sitting on a table, connected to a TV via HDMI cable, and you don't want to have to lean forward and mess with the laptop to pause the video you're watching. Having the TV remote that you already own do it is so much easier! Seriously, this product blew my socks off, it was *SO* much better than I even needed! The construction, yeah, I've dropped this little dongle a few times, and the black casing on the back did fall off. But, it's not necessary anyway, so the dongle itself wasn't damaged, and it just clips back on, so honestly I'm not concerned. That tiny detail is literally the *only* downside I can find about this product! The usage is simple, setup was pretty straightforward, the interface is SO GOOD - for a device like this, I would expect it to be really complex with different binding options, but the way they did it is so clean, not overwhelming, and intuitive! You can set this little beauty to do whatever you want on your computer, it's like magic. Honestly, laptops should have IR receivers like this built-in, it's such a natural functionality. And it's super responsive - I expected a slight delay when I press the remote button as the dongle receives that, the software translates it, and then the computer acts on it, but it's literally instant. I was and am amazed by its performance. This little flirc has changed my media-viewing life! All the stars!

Es un muy buen producto. Es exactamente lo que buscaba cuando puse, receptor de infrarrojos universal en el buscador. Puedes programar cualquier mando a distancia que tengas por casa para que funcione en tu PC o cualquier aparato con USB compatible. Con un software muy sencillo lo programas y el aparato funciona de forma independiente. Lo compré para otra cosa pero también lo estoy usando para mando a distancia del Kodi, pero lo puedes usar con otros reproductores o para lo que quieras.

Cumple perfectamente lo que promete. Para mejorarlo, debería de poderse grabar Macros de forma más intuitiva.

Semplicissimo da configurare con il suo software (da scaricare dal sito ufficiale Flirc) si può programmare ogni singolo tasto inutilizzato del telecomando tv. Una volta programmato da pc basta inserirlo nel sistema con Kodi (io uso libreelec su un pc ma va bene anche per chiusa il raspberry). In pochissime operazioni ti permette di usare il telecomando direttamente con Kodi ed il mio vecchio TV Panasonic è diventato uno Smart tv! Un must have per chi usa Kodi!
