Re: PDA as a universal remote

["Raymond Kelly" <raymondtkelly@xxxxxxxxx>]

Over the years the best PDA remote app I came across was NetRemote -
www.promixis.com
It has scripting language programmability and lots of plugins and works
with
Girder also.
The configurability and programmability means that you could spend forever
integrating it with all the different kits/systems you might want to
control.
As with any remote system you'll never get it to control every bit of kit -
but it gets the closest
I have a web server that responds to ethernet packets sent from netremote
via the lua scripting language and its all rudimentary but I think WiFi is
the way to go with lagacy support for IrDA kIT
