Use Your iPhone as Remote and The Siri to Controlled TV!

We have see a video showing Siri to see TV, but that was basic on third-party media server software, like Plex. Today, this video shows how to turn an iPhone into a real remote to control your TV set with Siri, like turn on power, switch channels.
Todd’s Siri universal remote idea is made possible with the Arduino platform and the SiriProxy. The project’s Github page has all of the juicy, geeky details. It differs from the other videos we’ve seen, as this example shows Siri fully integrating with certain channels on the TV. Previously, Siri was used to integrate with third-party media server software, like Plex.
When imagining a television set that’s controlled by your voice, it makes perfect sense for your iPhone to become your universal remote. While many have speculated that Apple will totally do away with the remote when it does release a standalone TV set, we’re inclined to think that there will still need to be some sort of ‘remote’ device for interfacing with the big screen.
