Nintendo DS as HS controller

This was a very long running project. A Nintendo DS used as a domotica controller for HomeSeer 2. However it can also be used for other domotica systems. With this controller you can fire events and control devices that have ON / OFF buttons. A real remote control so to say. That said it won't display any real time state of your devices. This due the very slow Nintendo wifi protocol implementation.

Everything you need to start using this can be found here.

Yes looks nice indeed.
But, are you really using it or was it for fun to see if you could do it ?

To be honest it was a fun project to see if i could do something with the few NDS's i have here but now i have it i use it occassionaly.
That is because i don't have any tablet(s) on the wall nor do i have a smart phone i sometimes want to turn off a specific light that also isn't in my VR set then i need to turn on my PC or go the the server. Now i just grab de NDS and it's up and ready in a few seconds.
