Bringing my Air Conditioner into the internet of Things!
These scripts use an IR blaster to send binary to my A/C unit using its own code! Also connects to a database I set up through firebase, so I can trigger the script to run, turning on my A/C unit, from an application that connects to firebase!
-what's not on GitHub
Wrote a python script that reads the binary code coming from the remote for my non-smart Air Conditioner, at a set speed (5/1000 seconds), and then writes it to a file (IRFile.txt). This was done using a breakout board for the GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi, and connecting an IR Receiver I bought from Amazon for a few dollars.
-what IS on GitHub
-
The binary remote file!

The python script that reads the binary into the IR Blaster you'd connect to your raspberry Pi (which can be done without a breakout board!) -You can follow my pin-layout, or change the variables to fit yours! -Remove the firebase data.
