Smart IR remote on ESP8266

This ESP8266 based device allows you to control your lamp, TV and air conditioner from your smartphone anywhere in the world. For this project, I created an Android app. In order to set up the commands of your remotes, I also developed a Web interface. I printed the case for this project on a 3D printer. More details in the video below.

Tools and frameworks that I used

Arduino IDE libraries

• Firebase ESP8266
• IR Remote ESP8266
• Arduino JSON v6.15.2

Firebase

I also created a project on the Firebase platform. I have used the following Firebase tools:

• Firebase Authentication
• Realtime Database
