Jean-Luc posted some shots of the first end-to-end infrared setup, with iPhone talking over Wifi to controller which is translating the incoming HTTP REST API calls to LIRC infrared commands.
Creating the user interface to control the infrared device is done through OpenRemote UI Composer. The couple of new videos on our YouTube channel show how to create the buttons for your iPhone or iPod Touch.
The first video shows how to add Apple Remote buttons to iPhone screen. UI Composer integrates with Beehive and it can be used to quickly pull together infrared button layout from existing, prerecorded infrared remote controls.
The second video shows macro composition in the UI Composer, setting up a simple "Rise and Shine" morning macro for the house, turning on the kitchen lights, the coffee maker, and tuning your kitchen TV to your favorite morning channel. The interesting bits in this video is the ease of macro creation using drag and drop on the web interface, and the initial simple integration capabilities mixing X10 commands and infrared commands into a single macro available on the iPhone interface.
So check out our YouTube Channel for some video views of what we are doing.
