I got my Flirc remote dongle in the mail today, and the process went smoothly until it didn’t:
- Connected dongle to Mac Flirc App
- Used “Media Keys” to learn the buttons from my remote (Apple TV remote)
- Plugged dongle into the USB port on the Ropieee box
- Dongle correctly identified as Flirc on the Ropieee admin page
- Entered the zone name
At this point, the web interface for Ropieee says:
Please make sure you enable and pair the RoPieee extension in Roon!
It was easy to enable the extension. And Roon says it’s running. I don’t see anywhere that I can follow the instruction that tells me to “pair” the extension (or the remote).
It’s possible that on the first go-round, I had the zone name wrong. My Ropieee box has the device name “DJBooth”, while the Roon zone attached to it is named “DJ Booth” with a space in it. Thinking that this might be my problem, I took out the space and ran another configure. Still no luck.
So, I guess two questions:
- How does one “pair” the Ropieee extension in Roon?
- Is the zone name that I’m supposed to enter the Ropieee device, or the RAAT zone that’s attached to it? (I mean, I can change them to match, but I’d rather have the zone name look like English instead of Unix.)
