#FLIRC HARMONY SETUP SOFTWARE#
But if there are any functions missing, just assign a random function to a button in MyHarmony, then use the FLIRC software to “learn” that button on your remote. If you’re using the FLIRC, you can map your media center’s functions in MyHarmony to the buttons on your remote, and most should work without any issue. You just need to know a few simple things.

How to Control Your PC with Infrared (Available on All Harmony Remotes)Ĭontrolling your PC with infrared isn’t that different from setting up your Harmony remote with any other device. The closer you follow these instructions to the letter, and in the proper order, the less chance you have of running into a problem. While Logitech makes some great hardware, their software is not very good, and things can go wonky and get confusing very easily (especially when it comes to remotes with the Harmony Hub). NOTE: If you can, try to follow these instructions as closely as possible. RELATED: How to Control Your Entire Home Theater with a Logitech Harmony Remote If you haven’t, check out our guide to getting started with Harmony first. This guide assumes you’ve already become somewhat familiar with your remote and the MyHarmony software, and that you’ve set it up with your other devices. In this guide, I’ll discuss how to set up each method, and how I use both in tandem for the best of both worlds. I actually use a combination of both for my PC, to make up for each method’s inadequacies. But it’s more responsive than infrared, in my experience.

You’ll need a cheap Bluetooth receiver (or a computer that already has one built-in), and it isn’t quite as versatile.

You’ll need a USB infrared receiver, which is cheap, and if you have a non-Harmony Hub remote, you’ll need to point the remote at your media center to control it.
