# Remote Lighthouse
## React Native App + Arduino Uno + ESP32 WiFi module
Replace every remote control in your house with a single app. ir-mobile will listen to the infrared codes your remote controls emit and map them to buttons in the app.
### Hardware
- ESP32 WiFi/Bluetooth Module
- IR Transmitter LEDs
- IR receiver component
- rgbLED
- various resistors/transistors
### You will need to install
- [Arduino IRemote library](https://github.com/z3t0/Arduino-IRremote#irremote-arduino-library)
- [bbx10's esp32 ports](https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager/issues/241#issuecomment-307559253p)
### API
- GET `ESP_IP_ADDRESS/rec`: puts hardware in 'listening' mode for IR codes
- GET `ESP_IP_ADDRESS/stop`: stops record mode
- GET `ESP_IP_ADDRESS/send?type=CODE_TYPE&value=CODE_VALUE&length=CODE_LENGTH`: transmit code via IR
- GET `ESP_IP_ADDRESS/check`: returns value of any IR codes heard
```
// Successful call to /check returns the following JSON object
{
type: oneof 'NEC', 'JVC', 'PANASONIC', 'RC5', 'RC6',
value: hex string representing an unsigned long,
length: length of the IR code in bits
}
```
Where `ESP_IP_ADDRESS` is the address of the ESP on your network, for example `192.168.86.99`
### Wiring
## Flash bin to ESP-32
- ```./esptool.py --port /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART write_flash --flash_mode qio --flash_size 4MB --flash_freq 80m 0x10000 /Users/danielmerrill/Dev/ir-mobile/ESP32-ir-mobile/ESP32-ir-mobile.ino.esp32.bin```
- Run from the folder where you downloaded esptool above^^
replace the serial port after --port with whatever the esp32 is listed as, and the path for the .bin and you should be good to go
- Once flashed you can verify it's working by restarting the esp32 with the serial monitor open in Arduino IDE
