Hi,

from the other thread some of you probably know that I do have a little special setup in our living room. An LG B series OLED connected to a BeoSystem 3 via S/PDIF. The BS3 is only used as the audio processor and I really wanted to get rid of the second remote (LG + Beo4).

Some tricks later I got it working with the BR1.
Connected it via bluetooth to my “Universal Link Adapter”. There an application is running that receives the commands from BR1 and translates them to IP commands the LG TV understands. Except for the List button I was able to assign all keys to the matching functions from the LG remote. Even the My Buttons work – two of them will launch pre defined apps on the TV. One will toggle the screen on/off (music mode) and the last will control the lights.
You can feel no latency between the BR1 button press and the execution of the function.

That still left the problem of using the Beo4 for volume control of the BS3. So instead of mapping the BR1 volume keys to the LG equivalent – they will control the volume of the BS3 over ML.

Problem solved. 🙂

It would be possible controlling all other TVs or devices that do have some kind of network remote control protocol.
What do you think? Anybody interested in such a solution?

……in case someone is interested.

Could you share the code you are sending to the LG for the screen/off command?

Sure. I’m using this handy python lib.

system.screen_off() is what you are looking for.
