[SOLVED] Blu-ray Player remote with OpenHab

[MDAR (Stuart Hanlon, UK importer of Velbus hardware)]

Hi

I have a Samsung BluRay player, that works really well with the Denon AVR-X amp I have, which uses CEC between themselves.

For control via openHAB2, I have had to roll back to an IR Blaster and the UDP binding.

It works rather well.

The details of how I have done this (with my Humax PVR, which ONLY works via IR) can be found here

[SOLVED] IR devices control

Hi I use a Keene IRAnywhere setup. 1 unit is a transmitter (under my TV) and sends UDP packets to a Receiver in the cupboard, blasting to the various hardware. So everything behaves as normal with the standard remotes. However.. The transmitter ALSO sends UDP packets to the UDP binding in openHAB2, for triggering rules etc. The receiver doesn’t seem to care where the packets come from, so UDP packets can be sent from openHAB2 to control whatever you like. Hardest part is capturing a clean…

Does this help?

Keene IR over IP Transmitters

Hi Guys, I would like to be able to send IR hex codes to my IR controlled devices throughout the house using openHAB. I have a number of Keene IR Anywhere Over IP Modules throughout the house and I am currently able to control these devices using the hex codes through OpenRemote and my tablets. Ultimately, if I can get the same hex codes to transmit through these modules using openHAB, I want to integrate the same using Alexa voice commands. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Hdmi cec binding

I’am currently controlling and updating the powerstate of my Samsung tv using an HDMI CEC usb adapter using simple scripts and a cron job. But this also means that it takes up to a minute until openhab realizes that the tv has been turned on. I would like to use this event power on my sat receiver and at the moment this takes some time with this solution I’ve looked at the cec-client and I think it would be possible to build a better solution by listening to the output of the process and immedi…
