WiFi TV Remote

[ColdKeyboard]

This is a extremely simple project, but, it saved me so much time.
One of the things that started happening way to often is, I'm not the one who is misplacing the TV remote but I'm always the one recruited to find it... which is not fun.

 
So I built my own WiFi remote, it sits on a shelf and I interact with it with my phone and PC.

Honestly, I wish my smart TV had this feature since now I don't even need the remote that came with the TV.
What do you guys think?

Has same thoughts, but my smart TV(Sony) have such feature.
But as usual - unreliable (first click after idle doesnt work, can't do powercycle sequence over long hold power-off button as on IR), over-proprietary and over-cloudified.
So still might worth to do project similar to yours (only minor difference - i use mosfet to drive led), already did custom PCB for that.

Oh that's awesome! I didn't know they started adding that to smart TVs. I thought it would be an awesome feature since my TV doesn't have it. But you're right, if implementation is not right... then it might be easier to just spin your own design.

Please share your version once you have it up and running, I would love to take a look at it.
