Introduction
The ESP8266 module can be used to receive IR remote control signals.
In this example we will connect a TSOP4538 IR module. Connect the digital output to some chosen GPIO pin on the ESP module. Load the firmware and follow the firmware specific instructions.
Hardware
A simple ESP8266 module like the ESP-01 is sufficient. We will use a TCR5000 optical sensor that is widely available. Connect pin 3 (DO) to some GPIO on the ESP and power up both the ESP and the sensor.
Software
Arduino ESP Easy
Use the device tab on the ESP Easy webinterface and create a new task by editing one of the available tasks. Select "IR Input" from the dropdown box
Enter the IDX found in the Domoticz device page. Also select the GPIO pin that you have used to connect the pulse counting device.
With the current release, you need to REBOOT the ESP Easy to get the show running. (we will change this requirement in the next release). That should be all.
