There was so much talk about the possible launch of a TV by Apple and about the use of the Siri system instead of a normal remote control that one user was motivated to make this a reality. In the video clip above we have a demonstration of how Siri can control a TV through simple voice commands given by the user. Everything is done with the help of a remote control built using the Arduino system and of course with the help of a proxy hack which we talked about repeatedly.
The result is very interesting, the user teaching Siri how to display and what program is running on the station to be opened. I think that such a concept would prove to be extremely attractive for many users, especially since it is extremely simple to control the TV with the phone. The bad part is that all orders are processed quite hard, but the good part is that you have an interesting gadget that you can "brag" about in front of your friends.
