That's actually really cool. I have a polk soundbar, which already does have a IR remote, but it doesn't actually do anything...

I made a local server running on a Raspberry Pi. The Pi has an infrared remote control transmitter, and uses LIRC to send commands to a Polk sound bar.

I did something similar. It seems a bit easier to set up honestly.
