Feature Request: Rebind Remote Buttons to Open App

[SupImDos]

Hi,

Would it be possible to add a feature where we can rebind any action to the remote keys (e.g. App, Channel or Input), not just the ircc commands? This would be useful for users such as myself that use a different launcher on their Bravia TV.

Something like this:

"remote": [
  {
    "app": "URI_FOR_MY_APP",
    "target": "INFORMATION"
  }
]

I want to rebind the INFORMATION key on the remote to launch an app instead of send an ircc command.

Currently, I modify the source code to replace the following lines in tv.js:

https://github.com/SeydX/homebridge-bravia-tvos/blob/258fae2e4797ee09a994f5d82b2031dfa24b6dc8/src/accessories/tv.js#L408-L411

with this:

case this.api.hap.Characteristic.RemoteKey.INFORMATION:
  Logger.info('Changing application to MY_APP_NAME');  
  await this.bravia.appControl.invoke('setActiveApp', '1.0', { uri: 'URI_FOR_MY_APP' });
  break;

Clearly, modifying the source code after each update is not the best solution, so I am wondering if a feature like this would ever be in the scope of this plugin?

Thanks, SupImDos

Bump on this. Is this possible in v.5.x.x?
