Title:
Using Python and a Raspberry Pi to automatically mute TV commercials

Description:
In this session, Steve will cover the following topics about using Raspberry PI to control TV sound bar:

The Pi uses an infrared transmitter.
The python app has 3 parts:

• Functions to send commands to the infrared transmitter, which then transmits the commands to the television sound bar
• A Flask web service to accept television command requests (e.g. volume decrease, volume increase)
• A scheduler that automatically sends remote control commands at programmed times
