I’m at the very beginning phase of considering purchasing a projector. One of my biggest requirements is the ability to control it through HA. I would like to turn on, off, play, pause, etc. What projectors/integrations have you had the best luck with? What do you recommend? Thanks in advance!
Thoughts? Ideas? Feelings? Emotions? Anyone? Anyone?
I have a projector and in order to integrated to HA I had to create an IR remote using a D1-Mini. I also had to create a binary input and binary sensor to track the status (on/off). Another issue was controlling the volume, because you can’t set the volume to a specific number. But nonetheless, if I tell Alexa, projector ON, then it turns the projector and closes the blinds. All is done in HA. I hope this helps.
Thanks @laca75tn. What kind of projector do you have? I don’t own a projector yet, so I’d like to get one that is as HA-friendly as possible.
Mike, I just have an ordinary projector. What allows the integration with HA is that D1-mini IR I made. I am sorry I can’t give you a better answer.
