@DrFalken said in IR control of presentations?: Hey everyone - i’m looking to run https://revealjs.com/demo/ on MM, in a web browser module. I have a basic MM setup but otherwise a newbie :) The idea would be to able to able navigate through the slides with an IR remote (either mimicking keystrokes, or issuing api calls to the revealjs server. Does this seem realistic to do? Any pointers on implementation would be very helpful! As others have explained, MagicMirror won’t do what you want. To solve your need, There are presentation wireless “mice” which look like tv remotes which can do what you want, if you are using a computer to display your website on a screen. OR you could turn each slide of your presentation into a graphic image and load them on a usb stick. Most “smart” tv’s have the ability to display images from a usb stick and will allow you to adjust the settings so you can change pages by clicking on your tv’s remote control.

Hey there, I am interested in building a new project utilizing RPi and Magic Mirror. While I have been hacking away at stuff, I am looking to contract some folks to help. Get paid to work on your favorite hacking project! I’m flexible on pay rates, hours, terms etc. Feel free to reply or message me.

(sorry I posted this in general but that forum doesn’t seem to get many views) Here’s what I’m looking for: an RSS feed of news items that is cycled through the screen support for an IR remote the ability to select an RSS item with the remote and have it open the corresponding web page. Would be cool if it was a simplified page. The IR should be able to scroll up down the page and ‘tab’ through links. if the RSS link is a YouTube video, be able to open that. return to magic mirror at any point https://github.com/mumblebaj/MMM-NewsAPI is most similar maybe, but wasn’t sure about adding IR. Any help appreciated!
