Repeat an infrared (IR) remote signal over WiFi on your LAN or over the Internet. The signal gets sent over HTTP as a form POST request. An HTTP server receives the IR signal as plain-text and re-transmits it to your device.
For example, press a button on your remote in one room and have it change the channel in another room. Access your TV set-box over the Internet so you can remotely change the channel using your phone or laptop.
You can make a web page that can be used to submit the HTTP form without the remote. Send the signals from any web page on your computer, phone, etc.
