Easy Lirc configuration and support for external equipment - adrianwadey - 2014-07-09
I have a Raspberry Pi that translates IR commands from one remote to control all my equipment (including controlling the TV over RS232). At the moment this is stand-alone and written in Ruby. I plan to rewrite it in Python and integrate it into XBMC.
I plan to make it configurable through the XBMC user interface.
Has anyone done any of this yet?
Would anyone else find it useful?
Features I am considering:
- Download LIRC remote config files from the web
- Support for capturing a remote using irrecord
- Manage lirc configuration files (combining them into one active file)
- Mode management (e.g. to watch STB turn the various equipment on and select the correct inputs on the TV, surround sound etc.)
- Add a page to XBMC with the various modes on it (Watch a blue Ray, watch the STB etc.)
- Intercept the remote messages so that XBMC doesn't respond when watching external sources.
Any thoughts or further suggestions gratefully received.
