Controlling an Amazon Firestick via Infrared
Posted: Tue Aug 23, 2022 4:26 am
I have an Amazon Firestick 4K whose remote works via Bluetooth, (I think?).
I have my Samsung TV and Firestick set up so that the Firestick's remote turns the TV on and off at the same time - I believe this protocol is called HDMI-CEC, possibly something else by other manufacturers.
This means that I currently have to use 2 remotes: my One-For-All URC8610 for the TV when using its own DTT tuner and selecting inputs, controlling the satellite receiver and DVD player etc, and the Firestick's Bluetooth one for controlling the 'stick.
Is it possible to convert the Firestick's Bluetooth signals to infrared, so that they can be programmed in to my One-For-All, picked up by the TV's IR sensor and passed to the Firestick over the HDMI connection.
Has anyone done this? A search of this forum and the Files section did not show up anything.
