Al Johnson, did you get my last response? below....
Hi All,
I was wondering if there's any good Universal Remote software for CE &or
HA being developed in this ecosystem?
Does anyone know of anything under way or a related Linux project that
could be re-adapted to it?
I have something "roughly" like this visualised... (see attached txt
file)
I have an old Axim X50v which android is being ported to atm...
But progress is slow so I may have to find a better supported device
soon.
Any thoughts/ideas/advice greatly appreciated!
Can't control the TV or whatever without the HTPC being powered up. Many would
see that as core functionality in a universal remote. If you don't then the
Freerunner may be what you're looking for.
Sorry if I'd sent my diagram through properly you'd have understood why
it's not that imperative for me. The idea is to have a dedicated CE/HA
controller/bridge. It will ideally be relatively low power/profile.
[I've attached the diagram again in case you didn't see it when I
re-sent it earlier, tis very basic]
How would BT be better than using Wifi as the medium to the controller
PC? Do none of the openmoko hardware devices have wifi integrated?
It was just a suggestion as to how you could get infrared functionality with
an existing BT remote app. There's no reason not to use WiFi if it suits you
better - the Freerunner has both. BT uses less power, especially if your WiFi
access point doesn't support the power saving mode. WiFi is faster and has
longer range.
K cool, I just thought you might know something I didn't, thanks!

I've also come across this and am quite impressed thus far!

Last time I looked many of the features turned out to be intended but not
implemented, but that may have changed by now. You might also like to check
out LinuxMCE, PlutoHome, MisterHouse and Minerva.
Isn't LinuxMCE just the non-commercialised version of PlutoHome?
Coolness, never heard of those other two, thanks!
Cheers,
Jed
