#Best remote control for plex mac mini download#
The $10 download only allows you to control 2 IP devices in a single room, to control IR and multiple devices will cost you an additional $27. Just downloaded Roomie and wasted $10 IMHO. I need to run an IR emitter from the iTach to the Panny which is wall mounted). I may buy an iTach RS232 controller and do it that way if I feel the nees) The VSX has trouble connecting to the LAN when you've got several switches between it and the router. If all goes well, I might even experiment with letting Roomie run my "Movie Room" and perhaps ultimate ditch my URC MX880!īTW, here's what I've got the Roomie controlling in my new room: I'll contiue fooling around with the app and adding macros and then turn it over to the wife and kids for the ultimate test. I know it probably can't be done directly, but perhaps through my HAI controller. I'm also hoping to find a way to integrate my Lutron RadioRa 2 lighting.
From what I've read on the Roomie web site I think there's a way I could do it, but I'm not sure how easy it'll be.
For example, while the program found my Panny BDT-210 over the network, the stored commands do not include discrete on/off commands. I'm hoping the developer will continue expanding their database. Configuring it wasn't completely brainless (like Sonos) but I figured it out pretty quickly. I also purchased the app and an iTach for my set up in a new room. It doesn't let you customize the look of my buttons, but I don't really care about that anyways. So far, Roomie is my dream app, and it's only been out a few days! Well thought out, great UI, simple macro settings, and it's cheap (no need for desktop applications). I can't wait to push the app a bit more as I dive deeper into lighting controls, and once I'm in the new house with multiple rooms with a centralized AV closet.
I set up a few activities (some cool ones like setting it up for my BlackBerry Playbook playback, and my laptop). The only issues I had were with setting up the timings accordingly with my slow LG television. Then I set up the "Activities", which are the macros.īam, it worked on the first shot, AS EXPECTED, no surprises. Installed the Roomie app from the iTunes AppStore for $9.99, it downloaded the device library, I set up a "Room", added my devices, it detected the IP2IR without a hitch, chose the IR port the emitters were on, chose my devices. Plugged in my Global Cache iTach IP2IR into power and to my router, slapped the IR emitters on the front of my receiver and television. After upgrading my iPad to iOS 4.3.5, I was up and running within 10mins. I just got this set up last night, and it's a fantastic product.
