Just ensure that "Remote control sends keyboard presses" is enabled under "Input Devices". These remotes are recognized as a keyboard/mouse device. You just plug the Raspberry Pi remote control into one of the 2 available USB ports on Raspberry Pi Model B Rev 2 and you are ready go.

They are plug-and-play remotes meaning there is absolutely no configuration or setup required. So you may purchase whatever fits your need. One remote is bigger with a regular USB receiver and the other is smaller with a retractable cord. They are available in 2 different versions with essentially the same buttons. You may find these remotes for less than $5 on Amazon. Whether you run Xbian or OpenELEC or Raspbmc as your operating system, these remote work with no installation or configuration required.


However, if you are like me and prefer to use an infrared remote then there are quite a few options and the ones listed below are the cheapest Raspberry Pi remote controls you can find today.

Unfortunately, what those pages do not say clearly is that if you are looking for a simple inexpensive Raspberry Pi remote control for your media center then you do not have to spend $20 or more to get a decent working USB remote. You may also have stumbled upon the FLIRC USB Dongle. If you are in the market for a Raspberry Pi remote control, you may want to check this page. Recently, I listed the 7 Raspberry Pi accessories to build a XBMC media center in which I listed a USB IR remote. dev/input/by-id/usb-flirc.In this post, I will present a very simple USB plug-and-play Raspberry Pi remote control. Only on the console it will work as keyboard device. Note that if you work via remote access to your Pi it will not see FLIRC (or any local keyboard/mouse!) as input device, only your remote keyboard. Pressing the IR key delivers a 'a' on the screen.

Full keyboard config, I recorded a key on my IR remote and assigned it to keyboard 'a'Ģ. I just performed a simple experiment with my FLIRC:ġ.

So I think the raspberry pi do not recognize the USB, but I do not know what I have to install or configure on the PI itself to recognize the USB as input device? I have tried the same program on my laptop with the FLIRC USB and then it works fine. I only have a laptop so there is no possibility to connect a screen (I think that that is the problem with kodi from raspbian). I tried to install kodi to see if the remote is working there, but I am not able to run kodi from the RPI over ssh/vnc. The part about the device tree I do not understand, sorry.īut I have installed lirc (not configured), but as you say that will not help to get the FLIRC keys in my python script? I did not install something for FLIRC or something else on the raspberry pi. I tried to configure the buttons and I tried to configre some buttons as key-board keys. I tried to configure the FLIRC on my laptop with the FLIRC software.
