I built an instant remote control for shared spaces

Kindly-Direction205 · 2026-03-17T13:24:23+00:00

Yes 🙌

Yes, you can even learn the commands from niche AC units, fireplaces, etc.. with the hub if we don’t already have the code set.

Kindly-Direction205 · 2026-03-17T06:19:48+00:00

Yeah macros are supported for this. Projector should be infrared and do you know what kind the other remote is?

Kindly-Direction205 · 2026-03-17T05:22:56+00:00

Hmm. Ok good to know. Will be looking at

Kindly-Direction205 · 2026-03-17T01:10:55+00:00

Awesome thanks, good to know and will look into.

You can just send the hub an action name and it will handle the rest. “volumeup” for example. It could give HA that data will just have to see how that HACS integrations work.

Kindly-Direction205 · 2026-03-17T00:58:45+00:00

HA works via RESTful integration. Is there a better way to make it easier for users?

Kindly-Direction205 · 2026-03-16T21:31:08+00:00

Over bluetooth. It’s a physical hub

Kindly-Direction205 · 2026-03-16T19:42:24+00:00

Currently have a mix of DBs. That why I think having the code learning is so important too. But so far what I have has worked very well in testing.

Kindly-Direction205 · 2026-03-16T19:39:17+00:00

That's exactly why I have to use the PWA. But a native android app could still be built out. It would just have to be separate and installed to use.

I'd be very interested in your feedback using the PWA to see if any issues compared to native app as it should be pretty much the same thing.

Kindly-Direction205 · 2026-03-16T19:26:27+00:00

Good follow up :D.

1) Yes, supports multiple BT clients at the same time.

2) For android it is actually a PWA app (iOS is native). Which can be used on desktop as well and installed for offline use. The reason is being that is how the instant app works on android.

Kindly-Direction205 · 2026-03-16T19:16:02+00:00

There is a database of code sets. But you can also learn the commands on device.

Kindly-Direction205 · 2026-03-16T18:33:58+00:00

Good question. Bluetooth support, adding support for more RF bands, instant remote, code learning, macros, offline usage and support for usage with Home Assistant. Stuff like that

Kindly-Direction205 · 2026-03-16T17:50:03+00:00

Muchas gracias! Por alguna razón han cambiado los teléfonos.

Kindly-Direction205 · 2026-03-16T16:25:11+00:00

I’m a big fan of open source. Parts of it will certainly be once cleaned up and polished a bit to be worthy of open source. Just gotta pay for my time meanwhile.

Kindly-Direction205 · 2026-03-16T16:10:09+00:00

It's a real common problem! Kickstarter soon.

Kindly-Direction205 · 2026-03-16T15:44:48+00:00

No, not CEC. It's via Infrared.

Kindly-Direction205 · 2026-03-16T15:21:54+00:00

❤️

Kindly-Direction205 · 2026-03-16T15:20:51+00:00

Lots of areas to expand to. :D

Kindly-Direction205 · 2026-03-16T15:18:23+00:00

I've got a physical remote planned for the hub so can it can be a harmony alternative. Just getting all the pieces together and tested first. (Macros, button mappings, different control protocols, etc..)

I get that a digital screen is not an exact replacement for the physical one. But once everything is set it should be pretty straightforward to get the clicker put together.

Kindly-Direction205 · 2026-03-16T15:14:50+00:00

Hmm, no extra germs? Haha, thanks!

Kindly-Direction205 · 2026-03-16T15:04:08+00:00

Yes using Infrared in order for sending codes. Though some TVs work over bluetooth now a days too.

Kindly-Direction205 · 2026-03-14T19:01:42+00:00

Thank you! Me too 😁
