Persuade should work with any remotes simulating keypresses. Currently, it has been tested with the following hardware:

If you have any other hardware, and you tested it works, send a pull request!
While you can directly use the source code in the src/ directory, it's
advised to generate a minified build to optimize the size of the project. You
need to have Python 3 and Virtualenv installed, then you can
run to generate the build:
$ make -C src
The minified app will be located in build/app/.

The required files are bundled in the src/assets/vendor directory, along with
