Hi,

- is there a way to make esp8266 module send IR remote signal to control devices so that I can make home automation?

- is there a place to find a remote signal database?

Espressif has an example that can be used as a base for an IR transmitter.

At least I can follow the link. I attached the demo that I just downloaded.
I have also seen some library for ESP8266 but that wasn't any good as it used delayMicrosecond() to time the signals and that causes to long execution time for many IR signals. The demo uses timers.
