[FR] Desktop server for global shortcuts on PC

[george9816]

A small desktop server for using, over the local network, global shortcuts on PC would be extremely useful because I always use STT when working from PC.

Using Join and Tasker or some webhooks for sending intents is not very reliable.

Did you try with AutoRemote? I sometimes have some delay but it works well overall.

Triggered with a StreamDeck because it's fancy. :)

I've used join with API link and Macrodroid with webhooks and I think these are similar to AutoRemote. That's the problem, that "sometimes some delay".

I've found a better solution, but not ideal: using http request event in tasker, which works locally and doesn't have any kind of lag. The problem with it is when I change the wifi connection, sometimes I need to change the phone ip (because it changes) in the ahk script, which I use on PC to trigger the tasker event.

That's clever.

I added a Bip action in the task, so if my phone doesn't emit a sound I know I have to do something.

A way to do a direct call to SimpleTimeTracker would be obviously better, but that seems a bit cumbersome to implement. I would be interested to have @Razeeman feedback on this actually.
