Simple remote control of your home theater devices and HTPC from any web browser
I just put up the little control program I made for controlling my HTPC and some home theater devices.
The idea behind the program is you run it on your PC (RasPi support coming soon) and it lets you build simple web page remotes that let you control your setup via network commands. The web page remotes are formatted nicely to be used from a phone or tablet and work great when you add them to your home screen like a mobile web app.
It supports a few devices now, but I plan to add more based on what requests I get and if I can find the necessary documentation for that device in order to send network commands to it.
I hope some of you may find the program useful for your HTPC home theater setups.
This software now supports running on RaspberryPi / Linux to act as a hub and a host for your remote GUIs
