ESP8266 Community Forum

- Tue Sep 06, 2016 7:21 am #54589 I have created ESP8266-Arduino project for sending generic IR commands to any IR appliances (like TV, Set Top Boxes, etc). For this I have used following sub systems:

NodeMCU and ESP IR Remote library
9$ Chip as central controller that keeps all raw IR codes for different IR-appliances IR codes. This Chip computer will create a WiFI-AP and ESP8266 nodes will contact this 9$ Chip Computer
An Android application that contacts the central-controller-chip

More information in my blog

where did you get you C.H.I.P board?

I got few chip boards from chip site as a pre-order in Nov'15. I got them in Aug'16. But I think you can order them at Chip store. But keep in mind that they take time to send the boards. But it might not take 9 months (as it took for me).

For my project, you can use any Raspberry-PI board (or any computer with Python 2.7 which is in same WiFi-network (or can contact) as ESP-board)

That C.H.I.P. computer seems like an interesting project; unfortunately, that name makes it impossible to search for information on the internet...
