Unrelated, but does anyone know a good TV remote for elders? I'd like something like a Stream Deck with big buttons for things like :
* Turn it on/off
* Switch to TV channel 315
* Switch to TV channel 517
* Play Planet Earth on Netflix
* Play Young Sheldon on Netflix
My grandparents are 92 and 97 and even big remotes aren't cutting it. Not only that, but I'd like for them to be able to use ondemand video platforms, not only random TV channels.
To control the TV itself, it seems a RPi or ESP32 with an IR led is enough, but to put something to play on Netflix is surprisingly difficult. I'm able to control a Fire Stick using remote adb commands, but not sure how reliable it is. I'd love to find something like this off the shelf.
Technology is great, but it's not made for elders. It frustrates them (and me), and they end up feeling stupid, which angers me.
I am sure someone else must have done this, but I couldn't find it anywhere.
