The Setup
We have an aircon unit in the office but it takes a good hour to start cooling the place down, I have an IR USB device that communicates via a com port. I have a utility to send various IR codes to control an aircon unit.
I use .bat files to load the .exe and the .bin file
irtoy.exe -d COM4 -p -a 100 -f ACPowerToggle.bin
My question is what’s the best way I can execute this on a remote server? Is it possible from a web server or something else?
I suggest using an SSH server like OpenSSH, as well as providing secure access, you can execute programs, manage everything needed as well as direct access to the computer’s operating system.
Edit:
Yes, you can use both iOS and Android apps to access your SSH server using a smart phone.
