    It's astonishing, the quality that a serious hobbyist can build. Superb!

      Yes, the only thing that's really missing is the clean look of an injection molded part, but besides that is hell of a nice project. But that's not an option, but maybe you can get away with a lot of polishing or vapor smoothing.

    What a time to be alive! I started on electronics back in 1986, and all the aspects of this project were soooooo much more difficult. Nevertheless, congratulations on your skill!

    Eine Praktische und Sinnvolle Idee um die Vielzahl von Fernbedienungen im Haushalt zu Zentralisiern. Ich hoffe das diese Idee einmal zu erwerben ist, bin sicher einer der Ersten. Viel Glück.

    Oh man, i want one.
    Seems like the prefect replacement for the Harmony remote.
    I would just need to swap the colored function and media control buttons around, as i like the color function buttons above the D-pad, and media buttons below the D-Pad, volume/channel buttons.

    This is pretty awesome. Great project and production on the video. With the Harmony hubs, one of the bonuses is the ir transmitter could be set stationary behind a cabinet with IR blasters wired to wherever they were needed. I imagine it wouldn't be a big lift to have another ESP32 controlled from this remote that would house an IR blaster for a similar experience. That way you wouldn't need to worry about pointing anymore. Maybe a future project for you 😁

    • @Max-Kern
      @Max-Kern  ปีที่แล้ว

      You‘re right, that would be a great addition! Even after increasing the IR LED current, I have to point the remote right on the TV.

    • @jmr
      @jmr ปีที่แล้ว +3

      That should be easy because I believe this remote does MQTT. I'd use the Tasmota firmware to create the IR blaster.. but wait.. there's more. You could have as many blasters as you wanted. That's not even a 10 minute project since they sell ESP with IR already attached.

    really cool remote! I'm working on something similar that isn't touch screen focused. Mine runs on esphome and talks to Home Assistant instead though. Can't wait to see more progress!

    • @Max-Kern

    @Max Kern. Great device! What du you think about, to change the location for the color buttons direct under the display?

    • @Max-Kern
      @Max-Kern  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Sure, you could just edit the button's size in CAD and swap the color and the playback buttons.

    • @madmax2069
      @madmax2069 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, the colored extra function buttons should be on top but below the screen. The media buttons such as play/pause, RW/FF buttons should be just below the D-pad and volume/channel buttons, pretty much every remote is set up like that.
      My Logitech Harmony 665, Sony Android TV remote are set up that way, heck even the Roku remote is set up similarly where the media functions are below the D-pad.

  • @techguy348
    @techguy348 ปีที่แล้ว

    would love to see something like this built into the older Sony Google TV remotes, those had the best form factor. Or a keyboard on the back of the existing case would be a nice option as well. But overall this is an amazing start

    Woah... This is so great! You've got a game changer at your hands here! People are willing to pay money for that (including myself).
    I've already moved this to the top of my "ToDo" project list. I'm thinking about salvaging an old and broken remote for the buttons because I like the rubbery feeling when pressing over printed plastik. Do you think that's possible?

    Very sad video. When I first clicked on it I was so excited that I finally found the dream universal remote. I grabbed my wallet and was ready to follow any link and pay any price. After watching the video and realizing that it was not actually available for purchase I was very disappointed. I do not have the talent or machinery to build my own. I presently have 5 remotes beside me on the couch. I guess I will continue to keep all my remotes in reach. Most of the universal remotes available are either too complex or too simple. This remote looked just right. Now that I know the dream remote exists, I will never be content with all the others and die a broken man. I will forever think and wonder of what could have been. Very sad indeed!
