![]() Technically it works, but functionality within different apps is spotty, at best. Unfortunately, controlling the PS4 is crap. Controlling the FireTV worked flawlessly. ![]() I figured that with the addition of the FireTV it was time to upgrade the remote, add support for Bluetooth devices, and be able to add in the PS4 along with the FireTV. I ordered a Logitech Harmony Companion which is their Hub (bluetooth+IR) and a paired remote. I have a PS4, which the remote does not work with, of course, plus the Fire TV. I use it to control a TV, AV receiver, PS3 (via Bluetooth-IR adapter), DVR, and old DVD player. ![]() Yeah, the Harmony I have been using for years is IR only. Other than the home button (which is a biggie), the rest of the Flirc/Harmony combo seems to work flawlessly.Īnyone know how to get the home button working? I don't know if that makes any difference, but if there is some other way that I should have added it as a device, please let me know. I ended up selecting 'Media Center PC' as a device type, and then 'Flirc' as the manufacturer, and typed in 'FireTV' for the 'model'. So I can navigate around and start apps and everything works normally (FF, Rewind, Play, Pause, etc.).but I can't get out of the app and get back to the home screen of the Fire TV.įor what it's worth (and if it matters), I wasn't sure how to add the Flirc as a device to my Harmony. The blue light flashes on the Fire TV to indicate that it has received a command, but nothing happens. The bottom line is that nothing happens when I hit the 'home' button on the Harmony. I mapped the 'home' function to a button, and even put it on it's own 'soft key' on the screen (I'm using a Harmony 770). ![]() I mapped all of the functions to what seems like the 'common sense' buttons (mapped DirectionLeft to the left direction button, etc.) Everything seems to work perfectly EXCEPT the 'home' function/button. I just plugged a Flirc IR receiver into our FireTV and configured it as a device on our Harmony remote. ![]()
