Fire TV (not stick) IR control


 

Hi,
?
I have a client with 3 TCL Fire TVs and I have been trying to control them via IR with no luck.
?
I'm not even sure if they have IR for control, the remote seems to be RF or Bluetooth. There are a few companies that make Fire TVs and I think that they all use the same Amazon Fire remote.?
?
Has anyone tried to control a Fire TV through IR or even thru IP with success?
?
From what I see Toshiba, Hisense, Panasonic, Insignia (Best Buy), and TCL all make Fire TVs.
?
I have no problem controlling my TCL Roku TV with the Roku IP driver, hoping the same will go for the Fire TVs.
?
Thanks,
David
