Normally, a remote controle is used to create a lirc configuratiomn file by using irrecord. The project provides the tools for doing the reverse. Create a config file manually, then, teach the codes to a universal remote control.
- Nodemcu
- BC337 Transistor
- 1KΩ Resistor
- 47Ω Resistor

- Click the "Sketch" -> "Include Library" -> "Manage Libraries..." Menu items.
- Enter
IRremoteESP8266into the "Filter your search..." top right search box. - Click on the IRremoteESP8266 result of the search.
- Select the version you wish to install and click "Install".
Update your wifi & password in the
esp8266-ir.inosource file then compile and uploadesp8266-ir.ino
Copy irc.default as lirc.conf and add the customized IR codes, then copy it to the required device
sudo systemctl restart lirc
update the ESP8266 IP address in the
remote.py(server_ip)
Start the server (python remote.py) on your local machine and go to: http://127.0.0.1:8989/
The page will show you al list of button name configured in lirc.conf and when clicked it would send a request to the NodeMCU which in turn will send the respective IR code.
