Hello!
I am going to by a Logitech Harmony 525, and I want to be able to controll my computer, mainly MPC with this. Doing this seems harder than i thought though, but eventghost might be the solution!
My main concern is, will it work with this? http://shop.omnibit.se/titan-ir-wand-usb-540.html
I dont have much information about it, but I may be able to get one for a very affordable price.

Will it work?
Re: Will it work?
I'm not sure, but if it is a ConsumerIR device it won't work.
from the Wiki wrote:Q: Can I use an IrDA dongle to control my PC with a remote?
A: No. CIR (consumer IR) that is used by your TV remote for example, is a complete other thing than IrDA. They use different frequencies, encodings and modulation. IrDA is simply not made for the purposes of CIR and vice versa. However there are some IrDA dongles that are advertised to work with CIR. One that I know of is the ACTiSYS IR200L. But other projects have found out, that this device won't work very reliable and therefore the EventGhost project has made no efforts to support it till now.
Re: Will it work?
You must mean the opposite? It is a CIR device I need and not an IrDA? I also red that part in the wiki, but after posting...
Re: Will it work?
Wont work. As said in the wiki IrDA can not be used for this.
I'd recommend to pick something from the supported receivers list and you'll save yourself a lot of trouble.
