“Want to use one of those old remotes you've got stashed in the drawer? This is the thing to do it! It translates random remote codes to keyboard presses, so if you can do it with a keyboard, you can do most things with this and an IR remote.
It is IR though which means LOS is needed and absolutely needs plugging into a PC wo config *before* you plug it into whatever random box you're going to use.”
“Great for use with Home Assistant. Setup was painless and I now have the flexibility of a whole bunch of spare IR remotes to control any smart home device or automation I choose.”
“Very poor service!! This was the third order I've placed with the PI Hut. The first two orders were delivered without any issues. My latest order was accepted two weeks ago and I received the confirmation of shipping along with the invoice. However, it still hasn't been delivered. I tried to contact the Pi Hut to see where it had got to and there is NO phone number to call. You have to send them an email, which I did at 9am yesterday morning. The automated response is that they may take 24 hours to respond to any support requests. I'm still waiting to be contacted.”
“Works a treat, but setup was not as simple as the official video suggested. The first time, doing it per the video, nothing worked. It was only when I re-programmed every key on the Skip 1s remote that it worked properly. Added to that, the almost impossible task of programming on Linux (I eventually resorted to doing it on Windows), there are some improvements required. This is especially concerning since this bought for use with a Raspberry Pi, which uses Linux as its OS.”
“Really great product, I have LibreELEC running on a pi 4 and this has enabled me to use my dvd remote with it. Simple enough to assign buttons on the windows gui, especially after I found the advanced setup for xbmc and plugged into the pi and worked straight away”
