TURN ON TV FROM EVENTGHOST

Post by Sheevook »

Hello All

I am a Newbie and would like to know if there is coding or a plugin to do the following:

I want to turn on my TV from my computer. The best thinking that I can come up with is to make a serial port IR blaster and use EventGhost to have the computer turn on the TV.

Anyone know how?
