IR Remote Control for XBMC and Over the Net A/C Control

by Nikolas Parpas

This project is about mapping IR commands to TCP messages and vice versa. We use a temperature sensor, an IR receiver, an IR emitter and an Ethernet shield.

It includes 2 independent functionalities:

1. XBMC server control using an IR remote control. Using an old remote control and an IR receiver, we map the sent signals to JSON RPC commands which are sent to XBMC over TCP.

2. Air Conditioner control over the net. A simple web server is hosting a web page which displays home temperature and which enables the user to decide what action to take with the air conditioning device. When the input form, submitted by the user, is received, it is mapped to the related A/C commands which are transmitted to the A/C using an IR emitter.
