Ich habe mich von drn Rezensionen und dem Werbeversprechen zum Kauf verleiten lassen. Leider ist sowohl die Software mangelhaft und funktioniert nicht mit jeder Fernbedienung.
Ich habe mir den Flirc Empfänger zur Steuerung von Kodi gekauft. Als Fernbedienung sollte die Hama MCE Remote Controll herhalten.
HTPC zusammengebaut, Software aufgespielt, Kodi und Flirc Software installiert.
Kritik 1: die Flirc Software ist in der Fenstergröße leider nicht skalierbar, sodass der untere Abschnitt schlichtweg nicht angezeigt wird. Eine Earase ist dann nicht möglich. Das Löschen ist über die obere Optionsleiste nicht möglich, funktioniert einfach nicht.
Kritik 2: Die Hama FB funktioniert nicht. Nach einer sehr langwierigen Anlernphase, wurden die Signale erst nach ca. 10 empfangen um diese dann auf einmal in Bewegung umzusetzen. Viele Tasten haben überhaupt nicht funktioniert.
Kritik 3: Flirc gibt irgendwie unwillkürlich Signale an das Windows System ab, sodass es zum permanenten Systemsound kommt.
Kritik 4: Beim abspielen eines Filmes werden im Sekundentakt die Filminformationen ein- und Ausgeblendet ohne mein zutun.
Fazit: Ungeeignet, unausgereift, zu teuer. Geht an Amazon zurück. Ich werde weiter die Hama FB benutzen.

This little receiver is incredible. It allows me to add any Shield TV Pro button on Broadlink RM Mini and control via Alexa. It wouldn't be possible without it so very glad I came across it.
Instructions weren't very clear in my case, they do have an helpful community but I remember it took me a couple of hours to find how to set it up when I bought it a couple of months ago.
So I'm going to explain the process on here, if that can be helpful to others:
What's needed:
- Logitech Harmony Remote
- Broadlink RM Mini 3
Method:
- Add the Flirc receiver in the Harmony app. For that you need to add a new "Entertainment device" then "Flirc" as manufacturer name and "FireTV" as model name. It will work with Shield TV Pro.
- Assign Flirc to the media activity where you use your Shield TV, you should how have all the commands Flirc will use to control your Shield TV.
- Just make sure all buttons like Play, Volume etc work fine. If you need to know which buttons are assigned to the remote for Settings etc I suggest looking where they are set on the remote. If you've got missing ones, you can re-assign them on the Harmony remote using Flirc as a device.
Now to create Alexa routines:
- Link Alexa in the Broadlink app
- Add a new custom (this is very important) remote in the Broadlink app and name it as Shield TV
- Tap the learn button function in the new remote you've created
- Add each command using the Harmony remote
- Create routines in the Broadlink app, they should now be exported to your Echo.
This is an example of the routines I have:
- Break - Pause TV + Screensaver (great for OLED TVs to prevent burn in)
- I'm back - Select + Play (If screensaver was on)
- Screensaver (Can be set with Long Press Settings in Shield and added as a new command in the Broadlink remote, just press a bit longer than other buttons)
- Pause/Play the TV
- Volume Up
- Volume Up by 2, 3 or 4
- Volume Down
- Volume Down by 2, 3 or 4
- Select
I suggest to use Sonos Beam with Alexa integrated as she can automatically turn the volume down on wake word to hear every command better. To me that's icing on the cake, if you care about having a good setup.
