We’re still not rather sure what to phone call these projects, however as we’ve stated before, it’s a enjoyment to see what people are doing to utilize one remote manage to rule them all. The job being established by [Kalle Löfgren] seeks to simplify the remote managed products in his house by integrating all manage into one wise phone app. The linchpin of the system is this command center which lets a wise phone send IR as well as RF commands to different devices (translated).
We’ve seen this done with quite beefy microcontrollers, such as this job that utilizes a PIC32. however the communications going on between the smartphone as well as the base station are extremely simple, as are the remote manage commands which are being relayed. So we’re not surprised to discover that this configuration just utilizes an ATmega88, IR LED, Bluetooth Module, as well as RF module. There is no connection to a computer (the USB just provides power via a cellphone charger). If you’re thinking about exactly how [Kalle] sniffed the protocol for every remote he composed two other articles which you can discover in the review linked above.
