Hi all,
I love the Logitech Harmony remote range but don't like how expensive it is. Since I know how to write javascript, I thought I'd try and make my own remote.
At the moment, I've got a Raspberry PI hooked up to a IR receiver and it is able to receive commands from different remotes to control my Marantz Amp, Panasonic TV and Apple TV.
I'd like to now build one remote (instead of using 3). Has anyone ever attempted this?
Ideally I'd like the remote to connect via Bluetooth to the Pi and send over custom commands which the Pi then controls.
I'd also like to understand if it's possible to remove the Pi altogether and get the remote to do all the heavy lifting.
Ideally I'd love a screen (may e-ink) so it's possible to know the state of some functions (like Voice mode on, Night mode on).
Any tips or links to tutorials would be much appreciated!
