It seems like a home automation system based on a PC that was on 24/7,
could be set up to replace a mini-split IR controller.
If you dig a little deeper you'll find that it's not so simple. I have a system that's on 24x7 and there are enormous obstacles in controlling a mini split. There is a form of handshake between the remote and the head unit.
