Re: Universal Remote for CE/HA? (maemo)
If you look at diagram I'm hoping to devise a device that acts a central controller for consumer electronics home automation. I want a hand-held to interface with it. This hand-held would ideally also have IR integrated, but it's not imperative as Wifi would be used mostly. So far the best solution I've found is this http://openremote.org/display/HOME/OpenRemote You don't have to use their reference hardware but something low power/profile like it I think would be ideal. It's critical you have JRE + Apache Tomcat installed/configured properly. I'd probably run this software on top of Ubuntu or LinuxMCE. I was thinking of integrating the entire thing into my existing HTPC/PVR but I'm not sure yet. It might be better to have dedicated/separate machine. This controller would be able to send/receive via; wifi, Ethernet, IR, X10, perhaps some other proprietary RF protocols would be connected to the net. Interested in other peoples ideas, have you tried something similar or have you heard of a better platform then openremote? Cheers, Jed ___ I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you interested in turning a tablet in to a universal remote or using an infrared remote with a tablet? If it's the latter, the MythTV project has support for a wide variety of different remotes under Linux. Since the tablets do not have an IR sensor, I'll assume the first. In that regard, I'm finding most of my recent experience with my tablet to be more annoying than useful. Perhaps it's because I'm using an ad blocking plug-in with the default browser, Fennec is still in alpha stages as far as stability goes, or the networking stack is just painfully bloated. I still use it for a handful of games and as the occasional SD card reader but I've even stopped using VPNC for remote admin work since SSH clients came out for the iPhone. But I'm curious to hear what you have in mind... are you looking to build a platform that can integrate with most set top boxes, PCs, and X10 home automation? -Gary ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re: Universal Remote for CE/HA? (maemo)
Thoughts from any others on this, final spam from me.
Off to actually try openremote + _some stuff_ after this! :-D

I have something roughly like this visualised... (see attached txt

I have an old Axim X50v which android is being ported to atm...

Re: Universal Remote for CE/HA? (maemo)
Sorry, forgot to mention!
CE = consumer electronics, HA = home automation.
I'm looking for ideas on a total system (as per diagram)
I'd prefer to use my existing Axim x50v but so far I haven't found
good Linux support for it. There is an android port, but progress is
slow ultimately will be too limited 'I think'.

Re: Universal Remote for CE/HA? (maemo)
I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you interested in turning a tablet in to a universal remote or using an infrared remote with a tablet? If it's the latter, the MythTV project has support for a wide variety of different remotes under Linux. Since the tablets do not have an IR sensor, I'll assume the first. In that regard, I'm finding most of my recent experience with my tablet to be more annoying than useful. Perhaps it's because I'm using an ad blocking plug-in with the default browser, Fennec is still in alpha stages as far as stability goes, or the networking stack is just painfully bloated. I still use it for a handful of games and as the occasional SD card reader but I've even stopped using VPNC for remote admin work since SSH clients came out for the iPhone.

I didn't understand it at first too, but from the schemata, it seems it is being talk about Home Automation (HA) and Consume Eletronics (CE), but I might just be wrong :) Regards, -- Anderson Lizardo OpenBossa Labs - INdT Manaus - Brazil ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

LOL sorry, CE = consumer electronics, HA = home automation.

That link you provided sounds like a good start, thanks.
I would prefer to use my existing Axim x50v but so far I haven't found

Hi
Any hints on what CE or HA is?
perhaps http://irreco.garage.maemo.org/ is what you are searching for
