Does watchON work with Xbox 360?

Does the watchON remote work with Xbox 360?
I have me TV, BluRay, and AV receiver set up just fine with the watchON universal remote, but I can seem to fina way to get it to talk to my Xbox 360. Does anybody know what the trick is to get this to work. I basically just want to have the ability to turn on my Xbox and turn it off. Anything past that isn't required for me.
Thanks.

Ya. I was hoping somebody might have found an IR code that would work to simply power on the Xbox 360, since pretty much every other universal remote on the planet can do that and more. Too bad.

Ah i always thought it just used an RF frequency to do its work. Thanks for the link though I was looking for an app exactly like this. I wonder if Samsung released their IR SDK? Would like to get my hands on it

should work all the time, mine does. Make sure you are pointing it at the xbox, remember it is IR, so it communicates through light.

If you go to settings you can add a device to the room and when you select media player the is an option for Microsoft which will let the app control the Xbox.

Hmm, so the options on the remote for the Xbox are a bit lacking. Basically just power and navigation (see attached), with no option for numbers or changing channels in Windows Media Center. It also still uses the "TV remote" when using the TV guide. I use a cable card and media center but looks like the app doesn't support that setup. Still nice being able to turn the Xbox on.
Also if you have the Xbox glass app you can do things like open netflix, xfinity, or HBO go. They don't really use the glass app much, but you can do some scrubbing of video and the "controller" has a few more buttons like the Xbox home button. See attached screen shots for more details.

Where is the Fire TV Remote App?

I was reading the info page on the new Amazon Fire TV Stick and it says
Download the Fire TV Remote App on your Android device (coming soon to iOS) to instantly search TV shows, movies, actors, and genres using just your voice

Even though the device itself is not out, the above makes it sound like the app is out and available on Android. I lost my remote for the Fire TV and really don't want to shell out another $30 for one. Where can we download this app? I have been using a wireless keyboard, but would prefer to use the app.

Yep, another one searching for it here...

It hasn't been released yet.

Mine is shipping in 2 days, and I still am not finding it in the Amazon Android Appstore, or Google Play. Could it really not be released yet? Anyone have any luck getting this app?

It is out now, search the Google play store

So does the app really already work for the Fire TV?

No. Not until the next firmware update (which apparently will be on or before the 26th).

Unfortunately it seems to work only if the Fire TV is on Wifi (makes sense as the app is for the Fire stick) so it won't work with my wires set up.

Works fine for me on Ethernet. Once there is a network connection, it doesn't really care if it's wifi or Ethernet. My firetv is on Ethernet and my phone was on the matching wifi. Are you sure your router isn't doing any kind of separation between the Ethernet and wifi?

Hmmmmmm.......mine doesn't.
Maybe something to do with the software version the FireTV is running? Mine is still on 5.1.1.4.0.

Yes, I've been doing so for a few months now. But I cant use the remote to navigate, have to use Droidmote for that. I wonder if the AndroidTV has a nicer version to use on non touch devices

Which version of play music do you use? I am able to sideload the app but I can not log in. Is your ftv rooted or have you installed Google play services?

Wrong thread... For Q&A Help there is a thread for it... http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/helpNever mind.. Thought this thread to be mostly about non-store apps. Guess it is for both... My apology @mag13 .

If your intent is to side load and install an apk to the FTV from PC, then you're looking for the Amazon Fire TV Utility App.
There is also AGK Fire that lets you side load and transfer apps directly from your smartphone.

I use an app called caze
