Ever been in a part of your house were the remote doesn't reach? Ever had situations where there are two people using parts of the same home entertainment system?
multiRemote aims to resolve these and more. It's the core of a solution which allows for easy management of your A/V setup, using a web browser as the UI and UX for controlling the system.
- REST api
- UI/UX separated from logic
- Conflict resolution (two users, two zones, one DVD player)
- Easy setup
- Subzoning, allowing one room/zone to have multiple displays
- Expandable in an unprecedented way compared to previous systems like Logitech Harmony, URC, etc.
- Cheap (hey, open source, can't get much cheaper)
- IR-2-REST Gateway - REST interface allowing access to USB IR Toy v2
- ir-devices - Holds the IR codes to use with IR-2-REST
- Yamaha-2-REST Gateway - REST interface allowing access to Yamaha receivers with serial interface
- multiREMOTE UX - The HTML5/jQuery/Socket.IO based UX
All above mentioned projects can be found at https://github.com/mrworf
- Yamaha RX-V1900 via Yamaha-2-REST
- Plex Home Theater via built-in driver
- Roku via built-in driver
- Any IR device which can be taught to IR-2-REST
Get the necessary files to support building python modules on ubuntu
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-dev build-essential
Next, install pip (the one in ubuntu, python-pip is very old)
sudo curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python3
Finally, install all dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
Now all you need to do is create a config file (conf/setup.conf)
