What type of command can I send from my Omni Pro to the RPi to trigger it send the CEC commands?

Total newb and in my infancy to programming and understanding the Raspberry Pi, python, Linux, etc.
Learning fast. Great little box.
I have the Raspberry pi setup with CEC and can control the TV via the command line.
It also routes my IP cameras and displays them properly.
Now.
What type of command can I send from my Omni Pro to the RPi to trigger it send the CEC commands?
I'd really like to use an http post (is that the correct terminology?) or something via the network.
ssh in enabled on the RPi.
I don't want to use my last Omni serial port.
I could kludge together an Omni output relay to an RPi GPIO input.
There has to be something more elegant, something more "21st Century"
I'm having difficulty finding the right information regarding how to send the command to the RPi to trigger it and execute.
I think I can send an HTTP command from an executed button in Automation Studio (when my touchscreen pops up on the driveway camera), so that is the route I am exploring.
Thanks!
Does that Jomilink run in the environment of some other service running, or is it a standalone python script that can be placed anywhere and executed?
I'm somewhat confused by the "Indigo Domotics" term. Nothing in the two links I posted refer to "Indigo Domotics". I would suggest you download my CECJomniLink github package. Find the folder that contains the build.xml file. You must then execute ANT in that folder. This will compile all the source code. If you have a successful compile, you will find a JOmniLinkII jar file in the build/jar folder. This jar file is executed as follows:I looked at the Indigo Domotics linked above and it appears to be part of a larger package. I am flummoxed as to how to use it.
The app is very verboose. So, wait until you see the message indicating the the "Communication thread is running" before activating any buttons.java -jar jOmniLinkII.jar 192.168.1.101 4369 00:01:02:03:04:05:06:07:08:09:0A:0B:OC:0D:0E:0F
Speaking of somewhat confused...you lost me at Apache Ant.
That's awesome! Thanks and good to know. It must remember it's last state.ellisr63 said:I know this is an old thread, but I just found out you can turn on some Samsung TVs via a wall outlet. I can now turn my Samsung on and off with an Insteon outlet as long as the TV was in the on state when you turned it off with the outlet. This works great for me as I use it as a monitor only...now I only need a way to change the volume without using the remote.
