  • [tips] My (newbie) config of Harmony IR remote with generic IR receiver

    Hi,

    I spend some time to configure my harmony 650 with a generic IR receiver (IR605 Q) plugged on my Raspberry pi, so i wan't to share for others newbies ;)
    The good point: i learned more than cd and ls command on linux :)

    I spend lot of time because of one thing: i didn't setup the good device on MyHarmony software :)
    The good one was:
    Manufacturer : Microsoft
    model : MCE 1039

    With this, all is working out of the box.

    Now some hint if it doesn't work:
    Check if your IR receiver is recognized by LIRC

    I will not explain how to connect with ssh from another computer to raspberry (hint: i used putty on windows)

    my IR remote was mounted on /dev/lirc0 (as y remember, ls -lh /dev/lirc* was the command i used to check the mout point)


    start this command :
    mode2 -d /dev/lirc0

    you should see this hapening when you push button on your remote:

    Code
    pulse 94779
space 438
pulse 299
space 586
pulse 27263
space 301
pulse 321931

    If nothing happens, i don't know how to help you :)
