I have no need for the elite with the screen. The projector takes a minute to warm up so it's nice to get it started from wherever I happen to be before heading to the basement to watch tv. I can tell any google device to "turn on the basement TV" and it turns on the receiver, shield, and projector just like the harmony/flirc combo, but it also turns some basement lights on dimmed to 20% if it is after sunset and turns them off at the end. As an added bonus it works with google assistant and all my home automation stuff. The hub is an app on my phone that is easy to update. It required a different login for each remote managed if I remember correctly.

I got tired of unplugging the flirc and updating it as well as the harmony remote in their ancient logitech remote software on my computer whenever I changed anything. Now I have the hubs and 3 flircs in my desk drawer. I used to love the flirc and had older harmony remotes all over my house. There are suggestions on this on Reddit and the Flirc forums.
Otherwise you can’t put the Shield to sleep with the remote.Īnd you’ll also need to plug the Flirc into your computer and teach it various commands with the remote (like back, rewind, play, etc). Then I went into the activity settings and added “sleep” from the second device as one of the shutdown actions. I ended up setting up two devices in the MyHarmony software-one was my old shield settings, which does all the heavy lifting and another shield device that has “sleep” as one of its only three controls (this is NOT the new shield remote settings, which I am not using). The Flirc isn’t perfect, and I ended up using a USB cable extender to move it next to the front of my shield. I actually have had a Harmony Hub for a few years but it’s never been terribly responsive for me. Some time ago I purchased an Amazon Fire TV and Flirc USB primarily to use with the Playstation Vue service. I set my new 2019 shield up the other day with my 650. 12 Posted AugI am brand new to this forum and have not read any postings of yet but wanted to share my experience using the Flirc with the Fire TV and Harmony 650.

Many android apps can be successfully sideloaded if not available on the store. The Shield Android TV supports Youtube, Netflix, Google Assistant, Plex, Kodi (or the optimized SPMC) and many other Android video-streaming apps and games. The 2017 editions come with an always listening games controller that offers Google Assistant support. It comes in two versions - a 16 GB version for $199/£199 and a 500GB version for $299/£299. I updated the new Flirc to 3.8 and the "Home" button worked! I then updated the older Flirc for good measure.The NVIDIA Shield Android TV is a high-powered Android TV device, featuring a Tegra X1 and 3GB of RAM (source). I noted that both Flircs were at firmware version 3.6. Buried under Advanced in the Flirc software I found the option to force a firmware update. I then put the new Flirc in the older Fire TV and it would not recognize the "Home" button! I downloaded and installed the Flirc software on my computer and looked for a firmware update. I then tried using the "problem remote" with the older Fire TV and it worked fine.
I went through the same procedures but found that everything worked except the "Home" button. Once I programmed my activities and customized my buttons and screens all was good!Ī couple weeks later I purchased another Amazon Fire TV and Flirc. After some experimentation, I learned that I needed to enter a brand of "Flirc" and a model number of "Fire TV". When adding a device to the Harmony remote you need to give it a brand and then a model number.

While I was very familiar with the Harmony 650 there were no instructions with the Flirc so it was an exercise in discovery to figure out how to program the remote to work with it. I am brand new to this forum and have not read any postings of yet but wanted to share my experience using the Flirc with the Fire TV and Harmony 650.
