So how does this work?

• Python stars a local server using flask (library)
  • Port : 8000 (configurable)
  • ip : Local host ip (eg: 192.168.1.4)
• Listens for Inputs (Play/pause, volume up...)
• Performs the keystrokes in the Laptop that is running flask.

Basically this transforms an Apple Watch to a virtual remote enabling it to controll multimedia.

Uses:

• While Playing a music in laptop (Play/Pause) (Skip) (Volume up/down)

• While Watching Movie and keyboard/mouse is a bit too far to reach.

• While playing music to skip tracks and since the keystrokes are configurable they can be use to initiate custom shortcuts.

To Do:

• Display ip and port
• Randomize the port
• Make a web ui
• Add a barcode scanner for easy-login. Instead of inputting the ip scan a barcode?

Thanks a lot for all the feedback and suggestions, Feel free to raise an issue, submit feature request.
