Nice one - Can you just use the Telkom profile in the MyHarmony tool? Any tweaking needed?

They added the following:
Manufacturer: Telkom
Device: TVB-100

Using that, no tweaking needed at all.
It can do almost all the buttons:
Power on/off works
play/pause on the pause button
arrow keys work
menu button works

Actually dont remember seeing a Home button or the menu button we have on the airmouse, but pretty much all the stuff I need and want is there. I gave them the remote.conf that was on the device, so that should include all the buttons that the device can accept of IR.

ps. Even the airmouse uses IR for the power button.

cool. I hate the airmouse, so I will see if I can make "home" work for one of the other buttons on my One.

whee, more fiddling tonight :D
 
In the Harmony app on my phone, there is a home button that looks like it works, so will just bind that to one of the buttons on my remote. The airmouse also annoyed me, so with this sorted out, I have no issues left with the LIT box.
 
Figured out how to disable the screensaver, although not sure if it will persist through a reboot.

Using the instructions from http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-set-...-on-the-amazon-fire-tv-or-stick-without-root/

Code: 
$ adb shell settings get system screen_off_timeout
7200000
7200000ms = 2 hours which is what I had it on

Code: 
$ adb shell settings put system screen_off_timeout 0
$ adb shell settings get system screen_off_timeout
0
When checking the Screen saver settings, it was amusing to say the least, it said:

"start screensaver after inactivity"
I assume it used to say
"start screensaver after 2 hours inactivity"
 
Page up and page down don't work for me on the Harmony. They seem to be mapped to volume up/down.
 
Hmm the unit at my parents seems to have factory reset itself magically.

Then again you can't cut out human intervention.

No fault of Logitech, that is how the TVB-100 is coded.

So have a look at remote.conf @ https://pastebin.com/AewtwFci
You will see: (1st col is IR code, 2nd col is Android code used in Vendor_0001_Product_0001)
0x58 115 # volum up
0x5D 114 # volum down
0x51 104 # page up
0x52 109 # page down

But then the Android part that convert that to key inputs: Vendor_0001_Product_0001.kl @ https://pastebin.com/pgeevAaS

key 115 VOLUME_UP
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN
key 104 VOLUME_UP
key 109 VOLUME_DOWN

So that unfortunately is how its going to be, unless you get Nology to escalate that to SDMC.

Let me see what I can do

Meanwhile, MKR to the rescue again :D

Tell me, how do you find the responsiveness? It feels to me like the FLIRC was much snappier to respond to keypresses. Dunno if it's just a timing thing?

Responsiveness feels fine. I used to have issues on my RC6 IR receiver on my HTPC, where it feeled slow, but that went away over time with firmware updates on the Harmony Hub which is automatic most of the time.

In English, what does that mean?

Oh I see - they've repeated the volume up/down?
So Sinbads page up/down is doing volume?

Correct. The manufacturer needs to change that mapping file for us.
Or we need to root the box........
 
Well if we could explain this to Nology, they should be able to pass that on to SDMC. A very fixable problem IMHO.
