add Webserver

[jo-ei]

Hi,
can you add a little webserver to control all function without touchscreen?

My Monitor has no touchscreen function, but i like to add an esp8266 in a little remote box with some buttons to control the photobooth

• Start Countdown (Response time from countdown)
• increase pic
• decrease pic
• OK
• abort

Thanks

for testing purposes we had some very simple attempt doing this with remote-control input device emulation. @byteturtle knows something about it.
doing it properly with a real webserver api will require a little more work which i'm currently unable to put in. but i definitely like the idea and hope somebody is able to implement this.
until then, maybe the simple mouse cursor remote control might help you.

I think i've done this using xdotool, since the on-screen elements are big they are not that hard to aim for, even when guessing the coordinates.
You could combine the xdotool commands with a webserver to get the effect you wanted.
