Global Cache sells this product called an iTach which will allow you to send various types of commands via TCP/IP to devices using everything from Serial to IR and etc.
I am interested in using the iTach that goes from IP to IR to turn on my receiver. I currently use a Squeezebox Duet and I understand that this can be done by positioning the Controller in such and such a way and etc - but that feels sketchy/rigged to me compared to a dedicated device. I also already use the iTach with iRule and other software to use my iPad as a remote. The API for the iTach is available here: http://www.globalcache.com/files/docs/API-iTach.pdf - it is pretty straight forward and simple. Open a TCP connection to the unit, send plain text commands with a carriage return. I know nothing of Perl but it seems like it should be relatively easy to create a plugin which sends basic receiver commands. Then just allow the user to define the HEX (or other types of codes) for each "function" that the plugin offers. Is something like this possible? I see that there are other plugins with very similar behavior for Denon products and for use with other types of Squeezeboxes. Could one of these be easily modified?
