Hi,

I have a working KnoppMyth box. It is all in one solution (front + back in one box). I have purchased a Harmony 659 remote and a home brew serial IR receiver. How do I setup this hardware to work with KnoppMyth?

I have searched forum but no posts have any info on Harmony remotes. Logitech web site allows me to select MythTV as one of the devices that I can control but I think I have to setup the computer to understand the commands.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Drabina

I guess the usual way to support a remote like this is to make it emulate something known, like the remote that comes with the Hauppage PVR-x50 card. Then treat it like the Hauppage remote from the MythTv perspective.

Have you tried searching the web (google is your friend!) for "harmony remote lircrc" to see if you can find a config file for it?

Maybe this one? http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/jbl/Harmony

BTW - I found a review with tons of pictures, and it looks pretty cool if you can get it working: http://208.42.81.123/sst659/index.html

tjc: JBL Harmony is a different thing. It is a JBL audio system. My remote is made by Logitech (they acquired Harmony).

I will try to setup the remote as something that I have (Samsung TV) and then configure lirc with Samsung config file.

Thanks,
Drabina

So did you look in the Logitech directory? http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/logitech/

You can also create a new generic task and manually set options and just 'program' the harmony using it's IR reader in the backend... I find it quite useful when I wanted a specific feature they didn't have for a sony vcr I had.
