This module is used by the media module to control TV's and various equipment around my home. It can also be used manually to control the different devices in my home. Each device has a configuration file that specifies if the device is IR/RF/Serial/TCPIP and the hex or ascii commands that are used for each trigger. The configuration file also contains several macro options like "TV on" that contain the list of commands that must be sent when the attached TV is powered on.
The last item in the configuration file is a list of image files and coordinates that can be used to draw a functional picture of the remote. This would allow for buttons to have hover, click, etc images. Eventually i will take the time to take photos of the remotes and make these pages pretty. For now its functional.
I currently have about 15 devices working in this list, most of which use Hex commands sent via TCP-IP.
