This device act as IR receiver and traslate IR signals to keyboard-like stroke. Having a look to posts regarding Minix T5, I found a discussion about the possibility to manage the box using a FLIRC USB dongle and any kind of remote.

This is because the HDMI-CEC is enabled on minix to receive TV remote commands This solution works fine if you don't use the TV remote at all, just because, in this case, it may happen the minix starts even if you just want to watch the TV. The only workaround I found was to configure HDMI-CEC on minix and remap the LG remote command on the Harmony. No matter which profile I configure on the harmony (U1, U9-H, X8-H Plus), they didn't work. I mean, all buttons configured on the remote for Minix U1 (ie cursors, volume, channel, back.) are working fine with U22 but Play/Pause, FastForward/Rewind and Stop. Upgrading my U1 to U22, I discovered that all entertainment buttons on my Logitech Harmony One remote stopped to work. But that's for another forum.Įdit: OK, using the s key wasn't ideal since whenever I needed to enter text in Kodi (search function etc) if I hit s it would suspend.I want just to share the solution I found to get rid of my problem: The quick resolution was to the change the line: XBMC.Suspend() īliss at last! Now if I could just figure out why my Harmony activity of turning on the TV, Amp and Kodi takes SO long before it exits and I can use the buttons.

I finally validated this by watching the keyboard in the FLIRC software while I pressed the PowerOff button, yep, "s" lit up. I'll spare the reader the variety of things I tried and get to the punchline: MyHarmony put the keyboard "s" for the PowerOff command.

I followed the directions to a T, but selecting PowerOff always resulted in the Kodi shutdown menu. and I have a few grayer hairs because I didn't validate this first. Several other threads which I read also indicated that this was now part of the MyHarmony profile for the device. This would all work very well if it didn't make the assumption that the MyHarmony default settings for the FLIRC/Kodi device included the keyboard "ctrl-F12" for the PowerOff command.

This has been a very helpful thread - many thanks to CRUTONBN for taking the time to document this. If you go this path the system will always wake up when using any activity and not go into suspend, the stock power off command is bugged somehow like it's being sent multiple times. If you've been wondering why not just use the stock Flirc/Kodi power off command combined with the Kodi settings\power saving changing it from shutdown to suspend, this doesn't work. Now if all goes well when using Harmony activities the system should go into suspend. Reboot the system (required for new xml to take effect) Once logged in select options\preferences\panels and tick the box for “show hidden files”īrowse to /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps folderĬopy and paste in the text below, then save (old floppy disk icon) XBMC.Suspend() Go to devices on Harmony remote and select Flirc media player then hit the power off key to map it to Ctrl+F12 (requires harmony with display screen or map power off to physical button) Select Ctrl+F12 (as Kodi wont respond to this at least not yet)

I want to turn this device off when not in useĪdd command and select PowerOff (if you have messed with poweroff before finding this guide choose the fix command and reset IR code for PowerOff) Go to system information and make a note of it's IP address

Thx to GoodOmens for the tip though his info is a little out of date now so this is a guide on how to do it all. If you have been wondering on how to make Kodi work with Flirc and Harmony remotes to automatically suspend without you having to call up the shutdown menu or be stuck with the other methods that limit suspend commands to the home screen of Kodi this is how to do it with Kodi v15 at time of writing.
