I'm trying to control my desktop with my harmony remote and decided on IR vs bluetooth. I bought this, but not I'm not sure it's what I wanted?

Is this ONLY an extender/repeater? I thought it should work as just a receiver but now I'm not sure.
I was playing around with it yesterday and can't figure out how to get it working. I'm really lost here. Do I need some software on the computer? I tried downloading LIRC but it's a complete mystery to me. I was able to add a device on Harmony under Microsoft MCE keyboard. When I hit a key on the remote the receiver light turns from green to red so it's receiving something, but it doesn't send any command to the computer it seems. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
