So the key asrock smart remote works on any PC, no need for a motherboard with CIR connector at ? If the key is not connected to the connector asrock CIR how do you wake up the PC from S5 state ? One of the FrontUSB Ports would act like an CIR Port, the other would be an normal USB Port. What Key do you mean?! I use an Logitech 600, you can see my HTPC in my Signature: http://www.sysprofile.de/id168952 Here is my USB/CIR Slot where i put in a USB Cable to the Asrock Smart Remote: http://www.abload.de/img/100_2717aeuat.jpg No i wouldn't recommend the Asrock Smart Remote, cause you can't buy it anymore, but the one from Conrad should be fine. The PC can start with the Touch of an Button on the Harmony, but i use mostly an BIOS Option to start my PC when i Switch On my Power Strip http://www.gruenspar.de/brennenstuhl-6fach-ecoline-steckdosenleiste-mit-fussschalter.html Then both, my TV and my HTPC boot to XBMC/OpenElec.

That's why you use just any old cable to wire it to your CIR header. If you get a complete receiver, you don't need any other cable, nor do you need to wire anything, you just plug it in on your motherboard. RE: How to Power ON/OFF your HTPC using a Remote? - -DDD- - 2014-06-24 But always you have to check if the Wiring is right, cause there is no one Standard wiring for CIR, Intel have one, Asrock have another, you always have to check if the wires are right for your Board. I also have to rewire my Internal USB Cable to fit it to my Intel Mainboard.

It is true, I mean connect the CIR to the USB port of the PC, the front USB port of your PC and then become a CIR port ? I made a picture to explain better: http://www.imagebam.com/image/a8192f334918454 Your CIR receiver is located outside the PC ? It is connected to an external USB cable ? The black box that you see in your photo you need ? It is not the CIR receiver ? http://www.imagebam.com/image/651117334920594 The antec isk 110 is very small, I thought to connect the CIR receiver to the external port of the PC, is it possible ? Regarding the USB stick this meant the asrock: http://www.imagebam.com/image/e45ca4334921801, this key functions independently ? He does not need the connector at CIR connected to the external USB port of your PC ?

Yes, I meant that there is not a standard cable to the receiver CIR, in fact I was looking for a cable similar to the one you used in your PC, the problem is that I can not find it. I explained to him that you have used an audio cable to CD-ROM, I looked at this, but I think it goes well: http://www.ebay.it/itm/Cavo-audio-CD-Rom-DVD-collegamento-con-scheda-audio-o-scheda-madre-tipo-C-/151238176438 RE: How to Power ON/OFF your HTPC using a Remote? - marck120 - 2014-06-26 @-DDD- Hello, I'm sorry for the trouble, explain to me how your USB / CIR Slot ? "Here is my USB / CIR slot where i put in a USB Cable to the Asrock Smart Remote" Use a CIR receiver connected to an external USB cable out of the PC ? In the picture you showed me I could not figure out where the receiver is located CIR. RE: How to Power ON/OFF your HTPC using a Remote? - -DDD- - 2014-06-26 The Receiver is located on an external USB Cable under my TV. http://abload.de/img/img_20140626_191010_6cej07.jpg Where do you want to locate your IR and your Case? My Asrock Solution is outside of my Case, you want it internal, right?

Thank you so much for letting me respond. I also thought to place the IR receiver out of the case, connecting the IR receiver to an external USB cable like the one you showed me in the picture. I wanted to know one thing, the USB port of the Case where you entered the IR receiver and connected to the connector CIR1 the mobo ? http://www.imagebam.com/image/092f9c335341762 RE: How to Power ON/OFF your HTPC using a Remote? - -DDD- - 2014-06-26 You want to use this IR outside of the Case? http://www.conrad.it/ce/it/product/181819/?insert=U0&insertNoDeeplink&productname=Ricevitore-IR-36-kHz-950-nm-Conrad-IR-R-36 Then i wouldn't use the USB Ports, just extend the 3 CIR Wires from inside the case to your place where the IR should sit.

I use an IR receiver identical to yours: http://www.imagebam.com/image/e16b0a335347724 The front USB port of your case is connected to the connector of the CIR mobo ? This IR receiver that you have shown me : http://www.conrad.it/ce/it/product/181819/?insert=U0&insertNoDeeplink&productname=Ricevitore-IR-36-kHz-950-nm-Conrad-IR-R-36 You can connect it to the USB port outside of the case ? With maybe some adapter. RE: How to Power ON/OFF your HTPC using a Remote? - -DDD- - 2014-06-27 When you have an Asrock Smart Remote, why do you ask about the one from Conrad? Yes, my internal FrontUSB Cable is connected to my CIR Port of my Intel Mainboard.

First of all thank you for availability I do not own the receiver Asrock Smart Remote, I was thinking of using the 'Asrock Smart Remote because it is easier to install, if I use the IR receiver IR Conrad-R-36 should make a hole on the front of the case, otherwise the IR diode does not receive the remote control signal. Is there any adapter to connect the IR receiver IR Conrad-R-36 port usb front of the case ? You have purchased this kit ? http://www.amazon.de/Remote-ASRock-Smart-Fernbedienung-Empf% C3% A4nger/dp/B005516NSM, RE: How to Power ON/OFF your HTPC using a Remote? - marck120 - 2014-07-04 Excuse me, a question about the fast kit simerec: http://www.simerec.com/ The kit simerec communicates with the remote with the RC6 protocol ? Simerec The kit is compatible with xbmc ? With a MCE remote or logitech harmony can also control xbmc ? Please allow about drivers suitable for xbmc to communicate with the remote and the receiver simerec ?
