  • ESP8266-HTTP-IR-Blaster

    ESP8266 Compatible IR Blaster that accepts HTTP commands for use with services like Amazon Echo

    • Where possible, I use HomeKit enabled devices (TV and AppleTV) and HomeBridge (receiver). This allows HomeKit to know the current state of the device (on or off and what input a device is on). In addition, I built a DIY infrared blaster that I found on GitHub. I currently have this all on a bread board and just use a plugin that sends HTTP requests to the device to turn on/off any devices that only work via IR.
