Other makes and models are available on databases like this one. For now, i added only codes for Samsung TV. ĭepending on the TV make and model, specific codes needs to be used. The library IRremoteESP8266 works just fine with this device with plenty of examples provided including with MQTT communication.
#Universal remote control how to#
There is code examples available that illustrates how to use MQTT on this device. My choice was then for Adafruit Feather HUZZAH ESP8266 as it still a smaller device that i have available, it support WiFi, MQTT, and IR libraries.
unfortunately, the IR library is not supporting this device yet ( i am trying to help the IRLib2 team to support it ).
I was initially planning to use the MKR1000 as it is one of my favorite devices. It offers also libraries to connect to the broker from Arduino compatible devices.
#Universal remote control for free#
As this is not a critical application, lower security is acceptable.Īdafruit IO offers a MQTT broker available for free for low traffic application. I had to use a small device that connects simply to the Lambda. However, smaller devices do not support the authentication and security mechanism offered by AWS IoT. Ideally, using AWS IoT is recommended as it offer a more secure way to interact with the devices. īuilding a back-end for a skill is straightforward with Lambda as they offer support for multiple programming languages and an easy integration with Alexa skills. As this project is about building a controller for TV, everything i need is available on the smart home skill for entertainment devices. Amazon proposes a well define interaction model for the smart home skill.
