Simply unplug it and let it sit for about a. Mark, The Fire TV uses RF type commands but can be controlled with the aid of an outboard FLIRC Widget, which is inserted into the Fire TV’s USB Port and provides IR type commands to be utilized. Unless there is some yet unreported/unknown issue assigning the command to one of the Harmony's "additional buttons" (the ones assigned to the changing display), I can only assume that for the new Fire TV, this command to control the Home button has either been reassigned to a different keyboard key or just completely removed. If your remote is using fresh batteries and the restart command isn’t working, then you should force the device to restart.

NOTE: I have attempted the alternative fix of mapping the F12 key from the full keyboard to the button on the Harmony I wanted to use for the Fire TV Home button, however, this did not fix the issue. Just curious if this is a known issue with the Home button preset in Flirc and, if so, if there is a fix for this. I had the 3.6 Flirc firmware out of the box and, after programming, the only button that doesn't seem to work is the Home one. Using Flirc, you can control all of your home theater devices including Fire TV with one remote control. I think this is not used as not available on the FireTV remote. Select the app that you want to be launched when the app button on your remote is pressed. It may take a few seconds to launch for the first time. When I take look into the 'Flirc-Media Player' device in MyHarmony there is a key called 'Options'. Once the correct Remapper app is installed, launch it by pressing the corresponding app button on your remote.

The long center press on the FireTV remote is just the space key.

Many users have been frustrated with Amazon Fire TV’s Bluetooth remote control, because you cannot control it with a traditional universal remote control. I attached an USB keyboard to the FireTV. Since I still had the programming on the Harmony from the Roku 2, I just paired those buttons to Flirc like so:Īmazon Directional Buttons = Roku Directional ButtonsĪmazon Rewind, Play/Pause, Fast Forward = Roku Rewind, Play/Pause, Fast ForwardĪmazon Menu = Roku Option (aka "*"-button) Flirc is one of the best-selling accessories for Amazon Fire TV. I recently replaced a Roku 2 with a new (2015) Amazon Fire TV and bought Flirc so I could use my Harmony remote (Xbox 360 version).
