Hi, hope you all can help find a good solution to give input to HS from a handheld remote control. Primary goal is to control volume of Russound CAV6.6 zones and z-wave light/fan switches from a handheld hardware device (non-android/smartphone device).
Here is the hardware currently in use:
My goal here is to have a hardware device/remote to control:
I don't want to have to open muliple applications on android to accomplish these tasks, I'm looking for a remote control style hardware solution. It will have to be RF as the only device within IR would be the TV - all other devices are in a closet.
Thanks!
Here is the hardware currently in use:
- DIGI-Edgeport 416 - I have many serial ports available to use (connected to HS).
- Russound CAV 6.6 - 6 pairs of in-ceiling speakers and controlled via RS232 from BLRussound HS Plugin. Primary control now via HSTouch and works great, but I have to open the HSTouch app on my android phone/tablet to change sources or volume.
- Denon x4000 controlled via Denon Android Application (used only to change volume or source).
- Kodi - openELEC device - movies & tv
- Sonos is used as a source to Russound & Denon. Controlled from Sonos application on Android device
My goal here is to have a hardware device/remote to control:
- Kodi navigation (nav, play, pause, etc)
- Russound Volume & Source
- Denon Volume & Source
- Sonos source - secondary
- HVAC control - secondary
- Light control (zwave) - secondary
I don't want to have to open muliple applications on android to accomplish these tasks, I'm looking for a remote control style hardware solution. It will have to be RF as the only device within IR would be the TV - all other devices are in a closet.
Thanks!
