06.06.2022 - Uploaded a modified version of "senior_kodi_rc.ino". Now with the possibility to pause the movie. (changes are based on source code of http://makerangst.com/remote-receiver-for-kodi/5)
The background for this project is that my grandmother (92 years old) is overwhelmed with all the remote controls. She is happy when she can set the channels and volume on the TV.
However, the German TV program has increasingly degraded and the "good old movies" no longer run. There are seniors who use Amazon Movie or Netflix, however, grandmother can not. Other seniors can manage with senior remote controls and can operate media players.
I have thought of a simple 2 button remote control. To do this, simply connect a movie collection on hard disk to a Kodi box. Kodi can be easily controlled via JsonHTTP and start a movie. The TV is switched via infrared to HDMI and back to TV.
There is only one start and stop button. Grandma has a paper list of movies, which contains the Kodi ID on
