irKit IR blaster for Telldus Home Automation

Post by individual »

I don't know how many of you know about this device - http://getirkit.com/en/ but after I got it (with some difficulties from Japan) I started to expand Telldus service to control any device that has IR remote control: tv's, receivers, air conditioning, etc.

I started to work on an application server where you can define your own HTTP requests which trigger irKit commands. These requests are in form of a link that is put as action in Telldus Live - Events (ex. http://MyService/yourCommandToAirCondition)

That is: Telldus Live HTTP Requests > My Service > Your IR controlled device (AC, TV, whatever) OR other network controlled device.

It is tested and it's working, and bellow is a bare minimum interface look that I am working on. I have yet to implement users management and then I will start an Alpha testing for people willing to use it. The thing is this service is going to support commands for many other devices that you would like to control with Telldus Live service, such: IP cameras, Kodi media center, AV receivers, etc.

If anyone has any thoughts on this, go ahead on this topic. I will keep you updated on the work progress.

Hi,

Thinking about ordering one myself, what were the difficulties to get it shipped?

KR,
Björn
