Idea
A lot of people have their phones with them all the time. So it made sense to create a phone applications that would enable me to control PLEX media center. And so plexREMOTE was born.
Software
I created a HTML application that mimics a remote control. This HTML page is than wrapped with phonegap framework which creates a native application for a mobile platform. At the moment I only tested this on my Android phone. You can fork source code from gitHub.
Hardware
You will need an Arduino pro micro board with ATmega32U4 microcontroller, because it is capable of emulating mouse and keyboard presses. HC-05 bluetooth module sends key commands to arduino. And arduino sends key presses to PC. It's the same as having an acctual keyboard connected to your PC and pressing the key, cool right!
Usage
When the app loads it displays a list of paired BT devices. Select your HC-05 bluetoot module to establish a link. Once connected you will be presented by the remote control. The rest should be pretty much self intuitive. In case it's not hower over buttons on the right to get tips.
