minus-squareKerb@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-211 months agoall you need for that is a smartphone with an “ir blaster” and some form of universal remote app. i used to have a galaxy s5 that could do that. unfortunately ir blasters became a rarity and you’ll have to look for modern smartphones that still have them. i also remember keychain tools like the TV-B-Gone, but those can only turn tvs off
