RIFI v1.4

This is the official repo for Wireless Multimedia controller App/Program "RIFI"

Tested on : MacOS | Windows 10 | Manjaro Linux

Watch Connect and Player View

iOS APP and Web Controller View

Android Web Controller View

Installation

git clone repo or Download .zip/.tar file from the releases.

cd PythonApp

pip install -r requirements.txt

Complie the watchApp/Remote Controller.xcodeproj and install in apple watch

Or Scan qr code to get acces to web interface.

Usage:

python main.py on the host computer

Select Y on show barcode > Scan barcode > Go to the link.

(For apple watch app) Open App > input ip of the computer > Save > Scroll to multimedia.

So how does this work?

• Python stars a local server using flask (library)
  • Port : 8000 (configurable)
  • ip : Local host ip (eg: 192.168.1.4)
• Listens for Inputs (Play/pause, volume up...)
• Performs the keystrokes in the Laptop that is running flask.

Basically this transforms an Apple Watch or a phone to a virtual remote enabling it to controll multimedia.

Uses:

• While Playing a music in laptop (Play/Pause) (Skip) (Volume up/down)

• While Watching Movie and keyboard/mouse is a bit too far to reach.

• While playing music to skip tracks and since the keystrokes are configurable they can be use to initiate custom shortcuts.
