how do i set up an ir receiver and blaster to control my speakers with my tv remote in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I wish CEC was the solution, it's just wildly unreliable. it just really temperamental deciding whether or not to work based on no apparent criteria. it'll just stop working out of the blue when nothing has changed. I suppose if I want out of my way to buy an LG speaker to match my TV, it might be more reliable, but I want to have more control over this, not just rely on hoping and trusting LG to get the CEC right.

how do i set up an ir receiver and blaster to control my speakers with my tv remote (alien.top)
 

Hi,

what is the easiest and low cost way to have this set up?

I want a device to receive the button signals from my tv remote then output a different signal to control my speakers. I also want to enable it to press the button once and then again 2 minutes later. is this kind of programmable box a real thing?

Thanks!!

p.s. I don't want any IoT or smart assistant things if possible. I don't trust smart tech. I want something that does what I tell it and nothing else.

Is there a device i can use to change channel when adverts start and change back on a timer? (alien.top)
 

I saw something called a mutedaddy that mutes the tv when you press the button and unmutes after 2 minutes. I realise you have to get the right infrared code to make it work, can i program it with my remote's 'back' button, as this button switches between my current channel and the last channel i watched. if not, is there some other device that could do a similar thing? I just don't want to sit in silence, that's all.

Thanks!
