I’ve recently set up a system to control my media using a virtual remote in the SmartThings app, which has been a bit of a workaround but has opened up some interesting possibilities. The idea was to have the virtual remote handle everything, but I ended up involving multiple device types, smart apps, and even a Mac app to make it all work seamlessly. While it wasn’t the simplest solution, it has greatly enhanced my home automation setup, especially with features like motion-activated camera controls and baby monitoring at night. If you’re curious about how it all comes together, feel free to check out the details on GitHub. I’d love to hear if others have found creative ways to integrate their systems too!
