Infrared TO SmartThings

[ErnieG (Ernie)]

You could try this.

Harmony / Eventghost

One of my goals is to have my harmony remote control smartthings. Since Harmony won’t release the API, I’ve been thinking of other ways to accomplish this. I have an idea that might work, but I wanted to see if anyone else has tried this before. I was thinking of setting up a laptop with eventghost (and a flirc IR receiver) and creating a Smartthings activity on the harmony. Then when eventghost receives a command from the remote, have it connect via http to a REST url. In my head, this will work, but I have never used eventghost and am basing my ideas off of what I have read about eventghost online. Has anyone else tried this?
