Title: Announcing A Web Control API for RaspberryPi-CEC and Dianemo/LinuxMCE
Post by: totallymaxed on November 12, 2014, 01:48:25 pm

We've just announced a new Restful Web API for the HDMI-CEC control of devices attached to your system. The software installs on a Model B or B+ Raspberry Pi and is compatible with Wifi or wired network connections. Simply attach a  Raspberry Pi to the same HDMI bus as your MD, TV, AV Receiver, DVD, Blu-Ray Player and you can control them using our Web API from a device template. Below are some example uses of the rest-cec API;

- Get a list of the available HDMI devices;

Code: [Select]

- Send a Volume Up command to the AV Receiver in your HDMI chain;
