Android to control whole theatre? - hick - 2011-05-13

Is there a plugin or any easy software I can get/buy that I could control XBMC, receiver and TV? I have an IR receiver, and would be fine buying a usb-uirt or similar to have an IR out. MY goal is to have 1 app/interface to
1. Control my htpc like the android app does.
2. Control the volume/power on my receiver
3. Control the volume/power on my Tv

I really don't care much about changing inputs or anything like that (it would be nice though). But I can't justify a tablet to only control the htpc, and have to pull out the logitech or URC to turn everything on/off.

can you clarify why a universal remote like the harmony isn't working for you?

1. the android app looks sexy
2. the droid is a multi functional tool
3. The logitech 1100 is a bit over priced in my opinion.

Answer - Yes
Easy - maybe, depends on your definition

Search the android market... there are many remote apps
