Hi all,

Im awaiting my Harmony 1100 remote controller order and in anticipation Im doing some research on how should I go about in starting up and shutting down my pc with the remote controller. My entertainment system is in the living room and the computer that has all my media source is in a different room. The idea is to be able to turn on and shut down the computer from my living room.

Does any one know how I can achieve this? Is there a USB RF remote receiver that can be paired with a PC and a harmony remote?
Im running ubuntu and PS3 media server, in case it does help
