Java-Infared-REST-API-for-Android

A app that runs on your phone as a REST API server so that you can remotely access the IR blaster (on phones equipped with them).

Usage

Either through your browser or through a REST API client

http://your-ip-here:8080/sendIRcmd/your-ir-cmd-goes-here

Example

(This powers off an LG TV):

http://192.168.1.33:8080/sendIRcmd/340,171,21,21,21,21,21,65,21,22,21,22,21,21,21,21,21,21,21,64,21,64,21,21,21,65,21,65,21,64,21,64,21,64,21,21,21,21,21,21,21,65,21,22,21,22,21,21,21,22,21,65,21,65,21,64,21,21,21,64,21,65,21,65,21,64,21,1554,340,86,21,3677  

Where to get the IR Codes

1. Search for your device or a similar device by the same manufacturer on https://sourceforge.net/p/lirc-remotes/code/ci/master/tree/remotes/ and download the .conf file.
2. Install IRScrutinizer from http://www.harctoolbox.org/IrScrutinizer.html
3. Open IrScrutinizer and click on the import tab
4. Use the Load File/URL to load the .conf file you've downloaded
5. Go to the export tab
6. Check the sendir Option
7. Click on Export Raw Remote
8. Now you get a filepath (Like C:\Users\username\Documents\IrScrutinizer) in the lower part of the app, open this file.
9. The file should look something like this:

10. Look at the line starting with + and - numbers and replace the + and - with commas with no spaces so it looks like this, when you add it to the URL:

http://192.168.1.218:8080/sendIRcmd/8984,4432,600,1626,600,1626,600,527,600,527,600,1626,600,1626,600,527,600,527,600,527,600,527,600,527,600,527,600,527,600,527,600,527,600,527,600,527,600,527,600,527,600,527,600,527,600,527,600,527,600,527,600,1626,600,1626,600,1626,600,1626,600,1626,600,1626,600,1626,600,1626,598,44083
