![]() I suspect the tosuspend reference is ancient now, but I couldn't say for sure. It does seem like poking /proc/acpi/wakeup and/or /sys/blahblahblah/power/wakeup is sometimes necessary for some folks, to enable wake-from-USB at the kernel level for the relevant USB host interface. ![]() I don't think there's a lot of woo-woo there, but input from kernel folks who know what the stuff that's being cargo culted there actually does would be welcome. Now this is one of those topics where if you DuckDuckGo it, you'll find some possibly relevant information, and an awful lot of woo-woo. I could suspend the system from the remote, but not wake it up. Then I tried it, and was a sad bunny when it didn't. I set it up with the Philips profile for the Harmony remote, and everything worked fine (as long as I stick the transceiver on a shelf and point it at the wall.yeah, IR is weird), then I thought "hey, maybe on/off from the remote will finally work now!" I say 'genuine' because I bought it off eBay, so who knows, but hey. So I chucked it and replaced it with a 'genuine' MCE remote transceiver, a Philips OVU4120 (much like this newer model). So that receiver started packing up recently it'd frequently get stuck repeating keys, or just not register when it was plugged in, throwing USB errors in the kernel logs. I just had to control the power manually, which really isn't that big of a deal but ate away at me inside, leaving me a hollow, hollow man. I can't recall whether it was on or off that didn't work with the old one, but one didn't. It worked fine for a long time, but one thing that never quite worked was that I couldn't manage to suspend and resume the system from the remote. XBMC and OpenElec are great projects.Įver since I set it up, I've used a janky USB infrared receiver I got off eBay to control it. The HTPC box has been one of my more succesful hardware purchases: I've had it running ever since that blog post, and it's just great, really. So that Harmony remote I talked about recently is hooked up to (among other things) my HTPC box. One of the feelings that almost makes up for all the hassle that comes with building your own infrastructure is the one you get when that last little bit of a jigsaw puzzle finally fits into place. Since it will wake by USB from the keyboard, this should work, but I'm not sure why the FLIRC won't so I may be disappointed.Tl dr: if you've read all the references and still can't get your Harmony or other universal remote to wake up a computer, make sure you use the Media Center Extender or Media Center Keyboard device profile in the Harmony software. Is there a WMC USB IR receiver I could use with the current setup. I just don’t want to throw away money at it, because everything else works fine. So does anyone know how to make a HTPC wake by IR from sleep mode with a Haromony? I’m not beyond buying other hardware, newer Harmony remote or the newer generation FLIRC if I knew it would work. (This is using the FLIRC with the on board CIR disabled, so I know the FLIRC recognizes the command. It will only go to sleep though, still won't wake up. I was able to program the FLIRC to react to the WMC IR command for sleep. ![]() I Have an older generation FLIRC and tried to play around with that, but you can’t customize the Harmony One like you used to since they changed the app and i’m not sure it would work anyway. ![]() So it will go to sleep when I change modes with the Harmony, but it won’t wake up unless I punch a key on the USB keyboard. However, the box only wakes up from USB, not from the IR. The box has a built in IR sensor, recognized by my Harmony One remote as a WMC IR Remote. The only nuisance, is wake-up from sleep. I have just set up an HTPC on Windows 10 with a Zotac ZBox Magnus EN1060K. ![]()
