Thanks for indulging my question for a minute. I have to frequently provide
phone support to an older relative who sometimes gets confused and anxious
when dealing with their cable STB. I suddenly thought it'd be great if I
could control a Pi with an IR transmitter and be able to send discrete
power codes, etc. So I could say over the phone "I'm putting channel 61 on
for you."

What sort of Linux library sends IR signals? I know LIRC receives, but
what's the opposite?

Some nights when I get the calls I would just love to go to a web page and
pgm in channel 61 at 7pm, channel 8 @8pm.


"LIRC is a package that allows you to decode and send infra-red signals of
many (but not all) commonly used remote controls.”
http://www.lirc.org

Notice the “send” part.  All you need is the right hardware.

Sorry, staying at a place near another relative's hospital and had the idea
but not the wifi. Will delve into lirc further then.
