  • Macro commands IR remote?
    You could possibly start with https://lirc.org/ - this is the lowest level IR control. Source: about 1 year ago
  • How could I make a simple IR circuit to work as a remoto controller for a TV?
    This site will be helpful too: Linux Inferred Remote Control. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Is there a way to make a raspberry pi send remote control IR signals?
    You need to buy a USB adapter, and possibly fiddle with drivers. Start here: https://lirc.org/. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Collection of TV remotes
    Based on my 2 minutes of searching, it looks like this is a configuration database for the Linux Infrared Remote Control project, or LIRC, which (according to their website) lets you both decode and send IR commands to emulate a remote control. I think the idea is if you had a Raspberry Pi or some kind of GPIO interface on a Linux box, you could potentially have a truly universal remote (or at least, one that can... Source: over 1 year ago
  • Library to send and receive using infra-red signals on an Arduino
    Interesting. I control all sorts of things around my house using a raspberry pi with thr Linux version of this capability, LIRC. Heat pump, stereo, TV. Might be more fun to try on arduino. I wonder if it works with esp8266. https://lirc.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

  • pushbullet website
    I can't access anymore the pushbullet.com from my computer. I tried with chrome, firefox. Source: 12 months ago
  • A couple questions about the Firefox extension
    Ah I see. Opening a tab isn't a problem, it's just that it opens pushbullet.com instead of https://www.pushbullet.com/#devices to see the text directly. I came up with a workaround with the "Redirector" extension that replaces the url. Source: 12 months ago
  • Not running on PC?
    Same issue. I have uninstalled (Revo) and installed 5 times and still can't get Pushbullet to work. Now it seems I have to got to pushbullet.com to read and send SMS, instead of doing it local on my PC with Windows 10. Seems to have happened in last 2 days. I can use it via internet access, but what happened to local functionality??? Source: about 1 year ago
  • Pushbullet.com synching SMS but Chrome extension is not.
    I go to the pushbullet.com web site and they are all there as they should be. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Large chunks of history missing, File push not possible anymore
    Further when I go to pushbullet.com it doesn't show my recent devices. Although it does show it to me over the pushbullet icon in the toolbar. There are large gaps in my push history on pushbullet.com. Source: about 2 years ago
