Opinionated Yamaha MusicCast Remote

Why

Fun project for trying out Elm on the frontend, plus very convenient when hanging out in the sofa and the real remote is at least two meters away.

Tested on a Yamaha YAS-306

Usage

Production

Build the frontend

yarn --cwd frontend build:prod

Copy or link the build folder under frontend to a folder named public under backend

cp -R frontend/build backend/public

YAMAHA_IP # The ip address to your receiver
LOCAL_IP # Your local ip address to use, 0.0.0.0 could work in some setups

Like this

YAMAHA_IP=192.168.1.216 LOCAL_IP=192.168.1.187 yarn --cwd backend start
