Genius SW-HF5.1 3000 - Remote Control

SwartNinja logo

GitHub code size in bytes Coveralls github branch Travis (.org) branch

genius-swhf51-3000 is a NodeJS app that creates a web interface & RESTful API for the LIRC project. It uses lirc_node to handle communication between LIRC and NodeJS.

This project is very much a simplified version of lirc_web.

This project allows you to control the Genius SW-HF5.1 3000 speaker system from any web browser. The RESTful API allows you to integrate the remote control functionality into home automation hubs like Home Assistant.

Background

I installed an old Genius SW-HF5.1 3000 speaker system in my "Man Cave". Thought it would be nice to have a bit better sound when playing Xbox or watching a movie. It ended up never being used because I lost the remote (yes I'm lazy, lol). I had a Raspberry Pi laying around so I decided to install Volumio and turn my old Genius SW-HF5.1 3000 into a "Smart" speaker, allowing integration into Home Assistant and a stand-alone remote control UI for guests.
