So it needs to be taught to send the right keys to Kodi when you send certain IR codes from the remote.

#Flirc raspberry pi 3 setup code

The next thing you need to do is program the Flirc itself - as mentioned it is completely programmable and can be made to “press” any key in response to any IR code from any remote. Many are configured by default but not all are and you might want to reassign them. Within your harmony configuration you may need to map the buttons under customise buttons in the device and/or activity so that when you press up it sends the up command and so on. There is a profile in the harmony database that is set aside specifically for the Flirc and has a good selection of buttons, as described in the article you linked - so I would use that, and I think that’s what I used myself. It’s a long time since I set up my Flirc (nearly 2 years) so I don’t remember the exact details of what I did but basically it can be “taught” to send almost any keyboard keystroke from almost any IR code, so technically it doesn’t matter what remote profile you use on your Harmony as long as none of your other devices will respond to it! (Eg don’t use an Xbox mediacenter remote if you also have an Xbox 360…) The flirc emulates a USB keyboard not a remote control, so you won’t have any luck changing settings in the Remotes section as it does not appear as a Remote. I have a Flirc that I use on my Mac Mini with a Harmony one.
