Flirc and IOSPIRIT have teamed up to deliver an integrated software and hardware experience - with new features that weren't possible before:
Apple Remote wake-up support
When using an Apple Remote with Flirc USB and Remote Buddy 2, you can put your Mac to sleep - and then wake it up again through any, a single or multiple Apple Remote - depending on settings. Which is not just matching, but surpassing the capabilities of Apple's IR Receiver in this area.
IR transmitter support
Flirc USB contains an IR transmitter that Remote Buddy 2 can use to send commands to other devices, such as TVs. At the time of writing, the IR transmitter of Flirc USB has a relatively short range of only a few centimeters. If the sensor of the device you want to control is not that close, a USB extension cable could be used to bring it into range.
Compatible remotes
The following IR remotes are supported by Remote Buddy 2 and compatible with Flirc USB:
Remotes with Wakeup badge can be used with Flirc USB to wake the Mac from sleep.
