mqtt-ir-transceiver
ESP8266-based bidirectional bridge that converts MQTT messages to IR signals and received IR signals to MQTT messages.
What is mqtt-ir-transceiver?
MQTT IR Transceiver is an ESP8266-based gateway that enables bidirectional communication between MQTT and infrared (IR) devices. It allows users to integrate IR-controlled appliances like TVs, air conditioners, and audio systems into smart home automation systems via MQTT, converting IR signals to MQTT messages and vice versa.
DIY smart home enthusiasts and developers looking to integrate legacy IR-controlled devices into modern IoT ecosystems using MQTT-based automation platforms like OpenHab.
It provides a reliable, open-source bridge with broad IR protocol support (NEC, RC5, LG, SONY, Global Cache) and features like raw IR storage, SSL-secured MQTT, and OTA updates, using accessible ESP8266 hardware and standardized MQTT protocols.
Overview
ESP8266 based bidirectional bridge between MQTT and IR (change MQTT message to IR signal and change received IR signal to MQTT message)
Use Cases
Best For
- Integrating legacy IR-controlled TVs and audio systems into MQTT-based smart home setups.
