Remote

I ran out of batteries. So here is a small web remote for an Orange TV decoder.

The frontend is a Vite/React app. The backend is an Express proxy that sends remote-control commands to the decoder API. DECODER_URL can be just the decoder IP address; the backend defaults it to port 8080.

Run

Create or edit .env in the project root:

Find the IP address of your decoder in your admin panel device list.

DECODER_URL=192.168.1.10

Start both services:

docker compose up -d

Open the remote at:

http://localhost

Backend API:

http://localhost:4000

Stop everything:

docker compose down

You can change the ports inside of docker-compose.yml.

IMPORTANT: If your decoder has been asleep for a while and enters standby mode, the API used will not respond. The only way to turn it on and wake it up from standby is to press the power button at back of the decoder.

No batteries needed :)
