Adafruit IRKey (1561) and a Harmony Remote

Post by maskedavenger »

Hi everyone! I have scoured Google and these forums and have had zero luck so I decided to post a question.

I have the IRKey and remote http://www.adafruit.com/products/1560. While in ASCII mode, the included remote controls my hdmi switch box as well so I decided to try MM Mode with my Logitech Harmony remote. I have tried multiple tutorials on setting up a MM remote with Raspbmc. They all have centered on using the GPIO and LIRC method, but I thought they might work as far as sending out the same IR codes. Unfortunately, they haven't so far.

So my question is, does anyone know of the correct Manufacturer/Model combination in the Harmony software that will output the correct IR codes so that MM mode can pick them up?

I've tried my WD TV's codes, Microsoft MCE Keyboard, and Microsoft Windows Media Center SE. None of those have worked.

Any ideas? Thanks!

The IRkey is designed to work with our remote. I don't believe it answers to any standard IR codes

Oh I get it, so the "modes" are not the input modes of the IRKey, but what keystrokes they simulate as the output? Cool, good to know!
