Some Roku players come with a voice remote. The only trick would be if they could understand to press the button to use the voice function. I realize that is the trick for some people. My Dad can't remember anything we tell him 5 minutes later. But he still has the memory to use the TV remote, so remembering a button for voice might work.
@norcaljohnny very impressed! Can you please send me instructions also. Thank you very much and I'm sorry for your loss.
Quite interested in learning more.
You mentioned GitHub - do yo already have a project out there?
Thanks for what you've shared already!
Lost count how many usernames and passwords to login to channels need to get myself a delorian and get back to 1980s every bloody channel needs another login - cant wait to put it in the bin!
Where did you get the cookie for the last item watched to show up when restarting? Can you provide a brief description for how you set up the app/channel with his favorite channels? My partner is on her own journey through dementia and your solutions sound great!
