Interesting, I wrote something similar to switch my computer between the display in the office and the TV, and also switch the audio and disable / enable controllers in the rooms. But just went with a basic API over HTTP, which allowed me to just create shortcuts, and those are available on all my speakers / Apple devices so I can just say "hey siri, tv switcher tv" and it switches over.
It's neat because then everyone with access to your Apple Home can't login to your steam account and run up your credit card with purchases.
What a bizarre tool, I love it.
Can someone outline the kind of headless setup this would be used with?
Best I can figure, a TV with a Moonlight client connected to a basement computer running Sunshine, (or similar client/server system) then a homekit command with open steam with the desired account?
What does this actually look like in use?
This is beautiful.
Love the hack.
I’m convinced that Smart Home tech is the biggest missed opportunity in tech. For most people, it’s the closest they’ve come to programming (automation) or customizing technology. As seen here, it’s also the closest thing many people have to an at-home server.
