HTTP to the Virgin box, the Panasonic surround-sound and the Roku media streamer.RS232 to the projector (the WebIOPi framework handles this with a few lines of custom script).

infra red to the the AV switch (IR capture/playback handled by LIRC).

The Python script can also check things that are connected to it, like the motion sensors & door/window switches to decide whether to log any changes or use APIs to send push notifications or SMS to our phones. The WebIOPi framework provides a neat JavaScript interface between the mobile website on the phones and custom Python script on the Pi to communicate with the AV components. The mobile website is used to control all connected devices and to see the status of most devices. The Raspberry Pi has a standard Raspbian Wheezy OS and uses the WebIOPi "Internet of Things" framework to serve up a mobile website ( jQuery mobile + HTML5 + CSS3 + JavaScript) to any smartphone or tablet on our home WiFi.

this section gets a little bit propeller head when describing the system with a fair bit of technical jargon, feel free to skip to the next section if this isn't your cup of tea! The Roku has a nice stripped-down interface for Netflix, Sky Now (pay-per-day Sky Sports), BBC iPlayer, Demand 5 (on-demand channel 5) and Sky News.Īs you can imagine, all the cables for the AV system looks like a pit of mating snakes! As the new system doesn't need line-of-sight IR remotes it's all neatly tucked away in a cupboard.

The Panasonic has 2x HDMI inputs which the Virgin Media cable TV box and Roku media streamer are plugged into. The Panasonic has a built-in Blu-Ray player, iPhone/iPod dock, radio and Skype camera connection. The video signals from the switch go directly to the projector, while the audio is routed to the Panasonic surround sound system. The four components at the top of the diagram (turntables/mixer, Wii, handycam and laptop) all feed into a 4-port AV switch where each port can switch composite video, component video, S-video, stereo audio & digital audio. This diagram details how the AV system is connected, using coloured lines to shows the flow of different signal types, eg: stereo audio is blue, composite video is green, component video is orange, etc. If you like this blog please give it a Like, Tweet or +1 below, thanks!

From the previous blog the main goal of this home control/automation project is to replace the AV remote controls in our house (and their complex sequence of button presses to get anything done) with a single interface that is easy to use, works on any smartphone/tablet and doesn't need any apps to download or update.Ī Raspberry Pi was selected for it's capability to control all the AV components as well as being power-efficient, quiet and small enough to fit in with the AV system.
