Some of you may know about my little project at home which will ultimately mean that that I have a Linn Knekt multiroom sound system, Comfort Alarm system (with home automation stuff) and multiple Pronto remotes.
I recently purchased 5 Prontos from eBay (one for each family member) and now need to program them but have found ProntoEdit to be a PITA to work with... plus it doesn't work on Linux :-(
I have found a project called Tonto (see http://giantlaser.com/tonto/ ) which is written in Java. I haven't fully tested this yet but it does look promising and is supposedly more intuitive. I will update soon on this!
What I will say is how to run the bloody thing in Ubuntu because that was a bugger to set up!
First you need the latest JRE...
apt-get install sun-java6-jre
You then need to extract tonto to /usr/share and edit the tonto.sh file to point to the jre...
JHOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre"
Then make the tonto.sh file executable...
chmod +x tonto.sh
Then simply run tonto.sh and the job should be a good 'un ;-)
