I am sure some one might have discussed about this before and some one might be half way through it. I know it would be very ambitious. The logitech universal remote range is charging nearly £200 for a touch screen universal remote. As XBMC runs from a PC or Raspberry PI which in turn is hooked on to TV, it would be nice to have an usb IR blaster like this http://www.irblaster.info/usb_blaster.html to be connected to the USB Port. Then we have the smartphone/tablet xbmc remote control app which the user can program as they would do to program logitech universal remotes. Now with that any IR operated devices can be controlled via XBMC remote. Wouldn't it be nice to turn the air conditioning on while watching a movie without searching for that odd remote.
