Question about Logitech Harmony Companion

it works for me with sunrise

Hello all
If anyone is still having problems with the Flirc dongle, Sunrise UHD box and any infrared remote control, here is a tip that helped me: Create the config yourself.
This may sound complicated, but it's not (instructions below). One thing before you go: Basically, it doesn't matter at all what kind of infrared remote control (e.g. Harmony) you use - it works with any infrared remote control.

In my case, all the config files specified did not work. They only work if you have the exact same Harmony remote control and the exact same device configured on the Harmony.

Explanations:
The dongle acts as a bridge between the signals of your remote control (1) and the USB commands for the Sunrise Box (2).
Point (2) is already given: You can find the commands here: http://forum.flirc.tv/index.php

It is this list written in red:
Power flirc_util record_api 48 102
red flirc_util record_api 105 102
...

These are the instructions for the box, which you have to pair with an infrared signal. Which signal (button) you send on the remote control is in principle entirely up to you.

Meaning of the list (example):
Power flirc_util record_api 48 102
Power = Title in the table (concerns the command for the Sunrise Box)
flirc_util = Programme for Flirc-Dongle
record_api = Parameter for recording a signal
48 = Code for 'Power
102 = Indication that you want to record a 'consumer' command (is always 102)

Instructions:
1) Add a new device on your Harmony.
- I have a Harmony One and have selected [Device: Dig. Cable TV Box][Manufacturer: Sunrise][Model: TV Box]. Important: This may vary depending on your Harmony model. However, it is not really important. Just make sure that it is a Config that sends a signal on the required buttons.
2) Then you have to install the Flirc software (https://flirc.tv/downloads).
3) Start the command line window (Windows: Command Prompt).
4) Have the remote control (Harmony) ready.
4) Go to the Flirc programme path
5) Start recording a key (Flirc must be connected in the computer). Enter the following (for Windows):
flirc_util.exe record_api 48 102
Press Enter
You will then be asked to press the corresponding button you want to pair (Important: Point to the Flirc dongle).
You should get a message if the pairing was successful.
6) Repeat step 5) until all desired buttons are programmed.
7) Save the config:
flirc_util.exe saveconfig [path where you want to save the config].
8) Load Config onto dongle:
flirc_util.exe loadconfig [path to your just saved Config].
9) Plug the dongle into the Sunrise Box. Done!

Hope this helps some.

Please report if the instructions are not understandable or do not work.

I use the 10.02.18.fcfg as described above. And yes I have the 4-cornered flat sunrisebox

PS For techies: A general list for USB commands can be found here: http://www.freebsddiary.org/APC... (see especially list '12 Consumer').
- The values are given here in HEX. For the 'flirc_util record_api' command you need the decimal value (converter: https://www.rapidtables.com/convert...).
- Example: Power 0x30 -> 48
