IR Remote Control with Argon One and Harmony Elite

I've Successfully loaded Argon One's IR scripts in SSH (argonone-ir).

Articles I've read recommend adding one of the following "Devices" to the Harmony Remote:
- Microsoft Kodi
- Raspberry Pi 4
- Flirc Kodi

Nothing I have done seems to yield any results; does anyone have any wisdom?

If this isn't possible, is it possible to remote control Moode over IP? (the Logitech Harmony Hub can control IP devices)


Sticking to the IR functionality, 
  • On the Harmony end, each time you press a button on the remote, a steam of infrared pulses (a pulsecode) is emitted by the IR transmitter. Those "Devices" you mention tell the remote what pulse streams to emit for each button press. I think of them as personalities.
  • On the moOde end, the IR receiver detects the stream of pulses. Some script, possibly argoneone-ir, but it could be lirc or something else, intercepts the receiver output and, based on the pulsecode, sends actionable commands to moOde.
We know the possible actionable moOde commands (see, for example, guides on this forum for using lirc or my guide for using a FLIRC device) but we don't know argonone-ir. I can't even find the Argon40 script on their website.

Bottom line: choose a personality [1], read our guides to get a feel for what you have to do to make moOde exercise the usual run/pause/next/prev and vol up/down, and fiddle with argonone-ir to get what you want. Or, forget about argonone-ir and use lirc instead.

WiFi-based control is intriguing but you'd have to know a lot more about the Harmony Elite in order to make it work with moOde (or even to determine that it can be done).

Regards,
Kent

[1] of your choices I'd suggest Microsoft Kodi because that's well documented on various websites.
