Amulet Voice Remote

[Wanilton]

Yes, I have one ir receiver...thanks for the link...

[jitterjames]

what kind of receiver is it?  Is it compatible with MCE remote?  Do you also have an mce remote already?

[Wanilton]

Yes i have one mce remote control, and usb receiver is is RC6 ir, control model TSBC-IR01

[jitterjames]

cool, as long as it is a recent one, that works with vista/win7 you should be ok.  With eventghost, you will also be able to use other remotes with it too.

unzip the attached file to your eventghost plugins directory.  There is already a folder in there called MceRemote, after unzipping, you should have one beside it called MceRemote_Vista

[jitterjames]

once the folder is in the right place re-start EventGhost.

- click Configuration >> Add Plugin  (or click the blue puzzle icon on the toolbar)
- scroll down to "Microsoft MCE Remote - Vista/Win7", select and click "OK"
- a Window will pop up.  click "Install Service" and then "OK"

You will now have "Plugin: Microsoft MCE Remote - Vista/Win7" in your Configuration Tree.  You can double click it if you need to uninstall / reinstall the service.

Sometimes if I move the receiver to another port or something else weird happens on my usb hub, I need to restart this service to make it work again.

Now when you point your remote at the receiver and press keys it should create events (lightning icon) in the EventGhost log.(on the left)

anyone who wants to use eventGhost should read this page to understand the basic concept.

Plugin installed, thanks.

[jitterjames]

good.  are events showing up in the log?

do you already have a configuration tree including controls for XBMC in eventGhost?

do you still need help?

[Wanilton]

My File eventghost - attached..

Vou aguardar o recebimento do CR da amulet para configurar, e sim já possuo controle para o XBMC via controle remoto do PS3 (blue tooth)

Se puder fazer o favor de copiar teus comandos básicos, te agradeço.

 are events showing up in the log?

the attached file is what I have with me at the moment.

But the point is, if you already have everything configured for the ps3remote, then the best thing to do is just to drag MCE remote events from the log over to the macros that you already have configured.  Then it will continue to work with the ps3 as well.

Hello,
I was wondering if the Amulet remote can wake computers from hibernation?

[jitterjames]

Hopefully Eddy can answer this one for sure, but I'm pretty sure that any MCE remote with the right IR receiver (properly configured) can wake a machine form S3 sleep, and possibly hibernation as well.

Yes, you're correct James - we just send the standard PC "power on/off/standby" code from the power button in the upper right corner of the Amulet remote, and this will send most correctly configured HTPCs into standby mode, or wake them up again.

tomorrow I'll get my Amulete Voice Remote,

James, I sent e-mail with your request, I need your feedback, so if it's ok.
