RE: New Harmony Smart Control Remote - awarras - 2014-05-06
I've already tried that with no hope, hub is up to date
problem still exists
RE: New Harmony Smart Control Remote - Crssi - 2014-05-06
What about something like this http://support.myharmony.com/en/article.htm?faqid=s-a-2158
Maybe it would be better if you ask this on logitech forum. Just a suggestion, since nobody elses did answer you here and I dont have ultimate (it might be some differences after all here).
If you find something and knowing what settings I have, just let me know and I will copy/paste it here for you.
EDIT: here is mine setting for this particular
myharmony -> Devices -> Microsoft MCE Keyboard -> Change Device Settings -> Device command repeats
Value: 3 (this is max)
Check yours, and I would speculate that you need to lower this setting
Dont forget to sync new settings to HUB.

RE: New Harmony Smart Control Remote - wolfgr - 2014-05-20
hello, i have use this remote http://www.ebay.com/itm/181177170764?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 for a long time with xbmc and it still works just fine just out of the box.I got myself today a Harmony smart control and i am trying to make it work with xbmc but no luck so far.I tried all the microsoft confgs (MCE,SE,EXTENDER,KEYBOARD etc) but nothing works,the hub blinks at every command but i feel the usb ir dongle cant read it.I tried to learn the hub some commands one by one but still nothing.Any ideas?

Get an MCE reciever and it should work
RE: New Harmony Smart Control Remote - wolfgr - 2014-05-20
thnxs for your answer ,got it working with a bluetooth dongle very easy and fast,only problem with that i cant sleep/wake up the HTPC.
Can anyone give me a link for a recomended MCE reciever?
RE: New Harmony Smart Control Remote - furii - 2014-05-20
how did you get it working with bluetooth? last time i tried (months ago) it wouldn't recognize any keypresses. what OS are you on?

ah thanks. there's a similar method for getting it to work under linux but i'm on openelec and there hasn't been any movement on the ticket i created for it.
RE: New Harmony Smart Control Remote - wolfgr - 2014-05-21
can anyone link me an ir remote/dongle/blaster that works 100% with harmony smart remote and xbmc?
RE: New Harmony Smart Control Remote - furii - 2014-05-21
i use a flirc: http://flirc.tv/
RE: New Harmony Smart Control Remote - Jeroen - 2014-05-21
Flirc is fantastic. I have two which I use with two different Harmony models and the setup is really easy. There's an XBMC add-on for it so you can even adjust the buttons from within XBMC.
Also, delivery was crazy fast both times.
RE: New Harmony Smart Control Remote - wolfgr - 2014-05-21
damn i want Flirc but they dont ship it to Greece,i am gonna look over amazon or ebay
Any other suggestion for a working remote or dongle?
RE: New Harmony Smart Control Remote - furii - 2014-05-22
out of curiosity, if you've got it working properly via bluetooth why do you want to switch to IR? seems like that would be a step backwards to me.
RE: New Harmony Smart Control Remote - wolfgr - 2014-05-22
the only crusial thing i am missing using bluetooth is the ability to sleep/wake up my htpc.Only way to do thet is by using IR.
got my cheap no name ir remote working by using device name:Chinavasion ,product:CVSB-983 found at xbmc mce remotes wiki.
