System Requirements

Demo 1

As this is an existing project, most of our first work is reworking and improving architecture.

• Separate out Master Server, Action Server, and Electron App
  • Currently these all run intermingled and on the same electron process. Separating them provides a more robust and dynamic system
• Restoring and confirming all previous functionality after the core architecture rework
  • Installable app that allows a user to customize and create Macros
  • Mobile client connection capability to allow a user to control their host computer remotely using macros
• Critical Actions to be functioning:
  • Terminal Command
  • App Launch
  • Send Notification

Demo 2

• All existing macros should be fully functional across all platforms
• Dynamic/stateful macros infrastructure implemented (e.g. Volume slider, toggling mute icon, CPU usage indicator, etc)
• Local network security - optional sign in or token based access
• Convenience features implemented
  • On-host macropad for testing purposes
  • Start on boot
  • Continue when closed/quit on close
  • Panel icon capability

Demo 3

• Implement Plugin capabilities
• More macro actions, especially dynamic macros
• Better Macro UI
  • Draggable macros on the edit screen
  • Resizable macros
  • GIF icons on macros

Stretch Goals

• Smart home controls (Matter or HomeAssistant plugin)
• Installer that allows installing as a standalone (existing method embedded in electron) or as a server-based install (no electron, pure web UI, only background processes)
• Remote server capabilities
  • Host a master server on a homelab
  • Action servers on all devices that are controllable

Not in scope

• No Online capabilities - This is purely a local network application
  • Must be on the same network for control
  • No cloud saving/syncing of setup
• Native app - web browser remote control system only
• No Firefox support
