My sincere apologies. Please Ignore the bottom of this post. It would appear, contrary to my initial belief's, that the NEO T5 remote is IR, not bluetooth. Again, sorry about that.
So that revelation means that my question is different, and hopefully has a simpler answer.
Has anyone found a Harmony product-ID, that will work with the T5? Harmony only suggests a Minix X5 product, which doesn't work.
Or... has anyone achieved control using the FLIRC and a Harmony remote setting for the T5.
Thanks!

Hi.
Just received my first Minix device (NEO T5), and ran into my first problem.
I'm replacing a bedroom device, and chose the T5 after I tried one of the many other Android 9 boxes, that turned out to be garbage. I've had a Google TV dongle that worked better. I have a Nvidia Shield in the family room, but didn't want to shell out quite so much for the bedroom. The Google Certification and builtin Chromecast convinced me that the T5 would be a better experience.
I was pretty sure that the remote was Bluetooth for the T5, but I have always been very successful in the past with non-standard IR or Bluetooth remotes by using a FLIRC USB plugin. This time, however, it's not working, and I'm at a loss of what I can do about it.
I'm trying to setup the T5 and FLIRC with a Harmony 650 (IR) remote, but the T5 completely ignores the FLIRC. I tried replacing it with another working FLIRC, and different USB port, but same result.
Has anyone been successful in making a similar configuration work?
I read a post on another Minix forum section (different product, and I think a different problem), but the fix suggested (configuring the Harmony to believe that the FLIRC was the media box) did not work for me.
I would be grateful if anyone could post a potential fix for this.
Thanks!
