Wow, that's pretty cool. What level of iOS device do you need to run it? I try to avoid using my phone too much so I'm wondering if I could control it all with a really old iPad or a cheap old iTouch. Any recommendations on the IR blaster? I've been wanting to have some sort of non-remote control but I don't trust alexa/google home so this looks like a good option that would let me use my existing devices.
