Dear, It could be a nice solution. My proposal, is to create a little BOX based on a PIC controller from Microchips. - This box can generate all IR code (based on LIRC : http://www.lirc.org/). - This box connected to the network can receive control command from Android Phone to generate specific IR Code. - This BOX must be placed near elements that must be controlled : this box can control multiple device.
I make electronics, I start programming for Android and very difficult for me to understand JAVA. A other approach, in case of uPNP device, is to create code to play music and control device trough uPNP. For example, I have a NOXON 2 device and maybe possible to send music from squeezeserver to it ?
