A few people have expressed a wish for SqueezeIR to be able to be controlled over wi-fi. I'm going to call this technology IR-over-IP (IRoIP), catchy! The idea has been implemented some time ago by Greg Badroshttp://badros.blogspot.com/2009/05/iphone-as-universal-remote-using.html (ignore Greg's comment about the ir emitter being an 'intron component' ;)) but it could (I think) be integrated into SqueezeIR . I still need to contact Greg to see if he's ok with me pinching his idea. The idea is that you could leave your controller strategically placed by your system and send it commands over the web that would tell SqueezeIR to emmit IR. That way you could (in principle) control anything from anywhere using nothing more than a web-browser and a bunch of Duet Controllers. My thought is that you would create a web page that contains hyperlinks (with descriptions) to SqueezeIR events that, when clicked, the Controller receives and performs a look-up into the xml file and transmits the <event>. The web-page could be placed in the same folder as the xml files so that SBS could be used as the web-server. There may even be a way to create a suitable page from the SqueezeIR.xml file programatically (after all, that is what xml was originally designed for!) eg If I wanted to send the event bound to pressing the volume up button in the 'Lounge' profile I would embed a hyperlink that looks something like this: Code: -------------------- http://<controller_IP>:<SqueezeIR_Port>/sendcode.html?section=profile§ionid=lounge&type=key&typeid=volume_up&eventid=press -------------------- This extension could, I imagine, also be used by a (3rd party) SBS plugin to allow SqueezeIR to be controlled from within SBS. It will take a bit of time to develop and I want to see if there's any demand for it before I start work so please express your opinion using the poll which is open for the next month. PS: For iPhone geeks there is this http://www.iruleathome.com/ that may be of interest. -- indifference_engine ------------------------------------------------------------------------ indifference_engine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20698 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79524 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
