EPG for TV control
Hi all together,
I’m going to buy some IR transmitters and I want to control my IR devices with it.
It would be nice to control my receiver based on a TV show I want to see.
My idea is a dashboard with a timeline and the possibility to send IR commands to the receiver (or macros if this is possible).
It can look like this:
I’m glad to hear your response to that idea.
Hm… This is far away from the plain and simple structured pimatic gui.
For a beginning I would recommend to study this thread here https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/235/howto-receive-transmit-infrared
Maybe you can do a workaround.
pimatic v0.9 has been released!

Another problem is to get access to the EPG data. If you have pointers to open source libraries and free services to access program guide data.

There is a nice project on github providing the information as a xml-file, names “xmltv.se”:

The Poroject privides simple XML-Files that can pe parsed.
Maybe it is also possible to combine it with the “iframe”-Plugin: https://pimatic.org/plugins/pimatic-iframe/
