This came from an idea in high school where one could change a channel and some LEDs could change color. This project is just that, only with Smart TV's (Roku TV's and Roku devices supported). One changes the application to Netflix, the LEDs turn red. Another changes the application to Hulu, the LEDs turn green.
## How does it work?
`bleak` sends out a API request to your Roku TV/Roku device you specify in a JSON file, which is read by `bleak`, and based on that response, the LEDs will change color. These requests happen at one second intervals.
Asssuming one is a command line wizard, you have navigated to the root of the project.
## Compilation/Use
There's two ways of compiling this project. One way is to compile on Rasberry Pi itself, which is a bit slow. The other way is some cross-compilation hoodoo voodoo magic which I have not explored as of yet. Once I figure out to use cross-compliation effectively, I will update this readme.
Next, run `cargo` to compile it (I happened to compile this on the Raspberry Pi itself):
I wrote a systmed service file so starting and stopping would be like I'm starting and stopping any service on a Linux machine. I also didn't like `bleak` taking control of my terminal session :)
