Amiko A3 Remote Issue

by cleanshirtuk

Hello! Not sure if this is the best place to post but I'm struggling. Bought an Amiko A3 online which didn't come with an original remote. I didn't think anything of it until I tried to use it with my Harmony remote and it wouldn't respond to any commands - reading through the specs it appears that the remote uses RF so I'm assuming it needs to have IR input enabled? Obviously I don't really wanna spend money a new remote just to set the unit up, is there something I'm missing? I had to reflash the firmware on the unit just to get it operational, so now it's in a setup mode and I can't navigate it at all.

Is there anyway I can maybe control via Wi-Fi? Or is it possible that the Harmony server pulled the wrong IR codes, and there are some hex codes that I can manually input into my Harmony somehow? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

UPDATE: Making progress here. By connecting the unit via ethernet I've been able to control it by accessing the IP of the box itself - Spark 2 has a web remote function luckily. I've dug through the settings but have been unable to find any kind of 'Enable IR' function. That means the next step is trying to figure out how the commands are sent over IP so I can try and either make it work that way with my Harmony, or at least via a phone app for the time being. Will keep updating this thread with any progress I make just in case somebody else is stuck in the same boat in the future.
