<p>Receive signals from a keyboard and use it as a remote control.</p>
<p>This component allows to use a keyboard as remote control. It will fire <code class="highlighter-rouge">keyboard_remote_command_received</code> events witch can then be used
in automation rules.</p>
<p>The <code class="highlighter-rouge">evdev</code> package is used to interface with the keyboard and thus this is Linux only. It also means you cant use your normal keyboard for this,
because <code class="highlighter-rouge">evdev</code> will block it.</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="s">keyboard_remote</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">device_descriptor</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s1">'</span><span class="s">/dev/input/by-id/foo'</span>
<span class="s">key_value</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s1">'</span><span class="s">key_up'</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>Configuration variables:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>device_descriptor</strong> (<em>Required</em>): List of URLS for your feeds.</li>
<li><strong>key_value</strong> (<em>Required</em>): Possible values are <code class="highlighter-rouge">key_up</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">key_down</code>, and <code class="highlighter-rouge">key_hold</code>. Be careful, <code class="highlighter-rouge">key_hold</code> will fire a lot of events.</li>
</ul>
<p>And an automation rule to bring breath live into it.</p>
