    Rather than running the 9 key off of your main desktop, have you considered running it off of a Raspberry Pi, or a windows based single board computer and using that to wake everything up? Then you would only have the power usage of the small computer running all the time instead of your full computer. Re-purposing an older NUC might be another option.

      Far from Steep. The hardest part hurdle is the install, picking the device to install it on and which version to install. None of which is "hard" if ya follow instructions. If ya already used to the idea of using Google Assistant, Alexa or Home Kit. Then ya already good to go. The real curve comes when customizing.
      Quick thing ya learn is to pick devices that are "locked" down where possible.

    Cool concept! If you want the best of both worlds (in terms of responsiveness on your desktop) you could make the pico (W) make direct calls to HA (or other) and only send pc-specific keys through as shortcuts for AHK. For new users I'm pretty sure you could forward the commands via HA so it wouldn't even have to be attached to your pc!

      maybe there is a more efficient way than node red to get keyboard input to send it via mqtt.

  • @chodelay
    @chodelay 9 месяцев назад

    Dude!! I've done a similar thing with AHK and Home Assistant, even down to the grid-based window management. From AHK, I canme launch or focus apps, move them, change screen configuration, turn monitors off / on, change audio output, control aircon, lights, TV, type text with macros or manipulate data in my clipboard. HA can make API calls to a flask server on my PC to invoke one off scripts. Another script runs in a loop sending state information to HA so it can keep track of desktop settings.
    HA also monitors my dryer / washer and phone battery and tells me I need to tend to them via an RGB light. A Rapsberry Pi acts as a Zigbee / MQTT router for buttons stuck to walls around the house, which stand in as light switches but also perform other functions. One of my favourites is the single press when the bathroom light is on. It turns the light off then waits 2.6 seconds to change the audio output from my bathroom speakers back to my desktop just as I round the corner to be in earshot.
    I'm now working on controlling my keyboard (same keyboard btw!!) LEDs to show state information (air con temp etc). It's half working, HA tells my PC when certain helpers are updated via API calls, then it's applied using pyopenrgb but this keyboard desyncs if you go too fast, then reverts to default when it sleeps.
    I also want to link up my standing desk but I'm putting off assessing compatibility to avoid disappointment.
    Today though, I'll be reading your code. Dying to see your window grid implementation.

    • @HelloDavid
      @HelloDavid  2 года назад +4

      I did consider it. And it probably is the better solution for most people. I just wanted something that was more compact and close to my keyboard (make using the mute button super easy while playing games). Also I'm always looking for cheaper alternatives to these premium solutions, though in hindsight this custom keypad started adding up in price after adding the keycaps and Pico. But still significantly cheaper. And finally, I had grander plans to have it run independent of the PC, such as on a Raspberry Pi or something, which I imagine would a huge headache to make work with the Streamdeck

    Wow. I could tell that your needs are different from mine (e.g. you use a TV as a monitor while I have 4 monitors instead), but you showed some stuff I never thought about that I could use in my own setup, like the USB switch!
    In my case, instead of having a light bar that has controls on it, I have a Yeelight light bar that comes with its own wireless puck used to control the basic features.
    I have an old tablet (that I tried to sell but nobody bought) repurposed to be a dedicated Home Assistant dashboard when my PC is powered off and a Deckboard Pro client when my PC is powered on. I may look into some sort of automation thing to have it automatically switch apps when my PC goes offline or comes back online. Besides that, I have a custom Nova Launcher configuration to hide as much of One UI as possible, have an app drawer that starts on a tab that has only the apps I would use, and on the home screen, I have a layout that's intended to mimic the ambient mode on Google Nest Hub, but with an additional widget in the top right for battery status. That tablet has a limited 16 GB of storage and battery charging issues (it can't fast charge). I plan to get a MOFT stand for that.
    I see you use Home Assistant too!

    4:08 While this is a really cool and clever way to do this, an alternative solution for others could be using a USB (this would also be applicable for HDMI) switcher with a remote, then use an IR blaster to learn the remotes signals and send them that way. Side benefit of this is this IR blaster can be used to separately control any and all other IR based devices. Personally I use an IR blaster for older TVs that don't have smart integrations or CEC, HDMI switchers, and tower fans.

      Press the button on pico, connect to your PC via USB and copy your image file for poco to use during boot. Dead simple.

    aimos also builds kvm switches with a dedicated usb port for the keyboard. with this you can switch inputs via double press ctrl+1-4. you could use on of these to pass the macroboard to your other devices and your main pc has not to be on.. you would have to code your key combinations on a pico or esp32 or other microcontroller to leave out autohotkey and make it compatible with other devices without installing any software.. esps can emulate keypresses and can send http requests to REST endpoints

    If there is anyone with resin printing experience, couly you print keycaps with them reliably?
    How does resin hold up against finger oils
    But it can be challanging to design the cap so you have symbols viseble
