Description

The idea behind this project is that, modern browsers aren't happy (due to Same-origin policy
) to send request via http: to local network devices directly. So I decided to use ESP32 as a device in between browser and Roku TV. ESP32 has no problem sending payload to local endpoints who doesn't add "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *" header to its response.

Since no IR signals are used, you can control a Roku TV in another room.
