Rather than buying a separate remote control, FLIRC keeps your sofa clutter to a minimum by allowing you to easily program it to accept signals from your existing remotes. The clever hardware inside the FLIRC, mixed with the excellent key mapping software (for Windows, Mac & Linux), allows you to ‘record’ the signal from each button press on your existing remote, and map that to the device you want to use it with (such as KODI). There’s no programming or hunting around for specific device codes, you simply connect the FLIRC USB to your PC/Mac, open the software and start mapping buttons via the friendly and easy to use interface. We already mentioned that you can use almost any Infra red remote with FLIRC. The remote we’re using in this example will be the ‘OneForAll Essence’. It’s one of the cheaper OneForAll remotes available, but as it supports 4 devices it’s a perfect companion for the FLIRC as it allows us to switch between our TV, Satellite, Amplifier and – in a few minutes time – our Raspberry Pi Media Centre!įLIRC have their own software for setting up your remotes.

Pop the FLIRC in a USB port and the status should change to ‘Connected’ – no drivers or any other complications are required: To make sure you map all of the necessary commands to navigate KODI smoothly, select Controllers > KODI, which will load the standard KODI button set on your screen: In this example we’re using the FLIRC with LibreELEC which is a KODI media centre. With your remote by your side, click on one of the buttons on screen to activate it for learning.
