- 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.
Thanks a lot to:
