12/24/2023 0 Comments Flirc harmony power toggle![]() ![]() 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to system information and make a note of it's IP address ![]() Thx to GoodOmens for the tip though his info is a little out of date now so this is a guide on how to do it all. It causes new issues in the sense if you try to Power on the unit, and it is already on, then it will respond to either the "Home" or "Back" command (basically either minimizing the open app and returning to the Home screen, or in case of "Back" command, doing some app-specific operation depending on what is currently running).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. I really dislike that I need to send the "Home" or "Back" IR signal to turn on the 2017 ShieldTV 16GB. Perhaps the 2017 ShieldTV 16GB only supports discreet "Power On" (which can be either the "OK" button/IR code, or the "Back" Button/IR code). I am wondering if the lack of button on the 2017 Shield 16GB unit means it no longer has ability to sleep and wake using only 1 IR signal (the "Power Toggle" IR signal). The 2017 Shield 16GB unit does not have such a button on it (see: ) The 2017 Shield Pro has a dedicated hardware button on the unit for sleep/wake. It cannot "wake up" a ShieldTV that has gone into sleep mode. However, ShieldTV 16GB + Flirc this "Power Toggle" command simply acts as a "Power Off" command. This "Power Toggle" command works great on my ShieldTV Pro. The ShieldTV profile in the Harmony database has a "Power Toggle" command. To send the "Power Toggle" IR signal, you need a programmable remote like a Harmony. My 2017 Shield Pro unit supports the "Power Toggle" IR command/signal. I dont know if its an issue with the ShieldTV, or an issue with the Flirc unit. I am troubleshooting my new 2017 ShieldTV 16GB and Flirc v2. ![]()
