The CEC solution is more elegant if you can make to work. Since there is no cord on the FLIRC and the USB plug is on the back of the Fire, you either need a short USB extension cord or instead I used a small mirror like THIS just behind the Fire to reflect the IR signal to the FLIRC. You can achieve the same thing with FLIRC. The ir dongle receives the IR and converts it to keyboard commands (as though a USB keyboard were plugged into the Fire).ĮDIT: I just re-read your original post and realized you have the Fire TV stick, which does not have the USB plug that is on the Fire TV gen 1. The USB plugs into the back of the Fire (not all Fire TVs have the USB plug). Interesting, but I'm missing how this works.

How does it go from dongle to stick? PC required? Does it use Bluetooth or the WiFi network to connect to the stick?

The IR dongle that comes with it will allow you to control your Fire TV and many other streaming devices with a USB port with your JP1 Remote. Just in case some are looking for other ways to go about controlling their FireTV and other streaming devices with USB ports, you can also just buy an MCE remote like the one linked below.

CEC control of Fire Stick works pretty with my Sony, Toshiba and Vizio TVs as well since they have a full set of nav, transport and menu commands. When you exit the menu you'll briefly see 'Searching' then 'Player' 'Fire TV Stick' on the receiver display. 'HDMI Control' must be enabled under the receiver main setup menu>Hardware setup>HDMI.

In theory, the functions should operate any CEC capable input device to a greater or lesser degree. These codes operate the Fire TV, including all functions from the original and some others that aren't, and much more snappily than the bluetooth remote.

After some more digging and trying more obvious things that didn't work, I found the tab in the Onkyo code list labeled 'BD (via RIHD).'

So I dug around Google for IR solutions and discovered the stick supports CEC. I plugged it into one of the HDMI inputs on my Onkyo TX-NR709 receiver and it works fine except for having to juggle two remotes and the remote signal issues (mainly sluggishness). I got an Amazon Fire TV stick for Christmas, which is nice because I have a Prime account but I had no way to watch that directly on the home theater.Īs most of you may know, the Fire TV stick is bluetooth control only, and comes with a sad little bluetooth remote that doesn't perform all that well, presumably due to signal/path issues.
