Topic: USB Ir - control devices with chumby?
I have a small USB infra red dongle type thing, which can send and receive infra red data. I also have a number of remotr controlled RGB style LED lights, and media center, etc that could do with some automated infra red control.
I have no idea from the technical point of view as I could write my entire linux knowledge on a stamp, but I think scheduled stuff happening via infra red would be amazing, such as lights fading in as well as alarm in the morning, etc etc. obviously, the IR transmitter would need to be pointed at whatever is to be controlled.
anyway, just a thought. would be amazing if anyone has any comments (or obviously, solutions... hehe).
