Best wifi or ethernet IR blaster

Post by bxr »

Looking for the best wifi or ethernet IR blaster.
I'm not very pleased with the mce-ir (gets a lot of false events after I turn on the Tv, USB only) and usb-uirt (USB only, doesn't catch signal from everywhere like the mce-ir).
I hope to find something that works well.

Hello sir.

I have never tried this my self. But its cheap, works on WIFI but there is no EG plugin for it.

http://www.broadlink.com.cn/rm/

You can buy this on ebay.com and aliexpress.com

I wish someone could make a EG plugin for it.

Cool :)
I'm still looking for one.
It needs an android device?
The mce ir and usb uirt emitters are just awfull as every second command I send from EG gets stuck for like 3 secs.

Arduino

costs about 5 beans another buck fifty for the wifi card and maybe another buck for the it receiver and transmitter

you have to code the firmware for it tho there are a massive amount of libraries out there for ir and for networking the things

there is a guy who wrote a firmware for it called etherevents so it can talk directly to eventghost

I use a IPtoIR from Global Cache, it works great but requires some coding.
