Next version is available https://github.com/enc-X/mqtt-ir-transceiver , new features:

Code migrated to platformio
Support for Global Cache IR database codes

Nice

I have to check how I can build a similiar thing with the ESPs I have lying around in my workshop area.

Hi mix_at_pl

Thanks for this.

Just wanted to find out where do I input the data for wifi and mqtt ? is it in the main.cpp?

Thanks

bachoo786 · January 11, 2017, 8:57pm

Hi

I am getting this error in the code on platformio:

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
*** [.pioenvs/esp01_1m/firmware.elf] Error 1

Can you please help?

Thanks.

bachoo786 · January 11, 2017, 10:29pm

Hi Phile

Do you know how to use platformio?

I am struggling with this.

Can you please help?

Thanks.

I just went through building and programming the IR MQTT tranceiver and want to thank mix_at_pl for the great work.

The building is straight forward following the schematic.
For the programming I installed the Platformio IDE following the instructions from http://docs.platformio.org/en/stable/ide/atom.html. You need to have Python 2.7.x installed for it to work correctly.
Once Platformio is loading with no errors, click on “Open Project” and select the folder mqtt-ir-transceiver-master (which is downloaded and unzipped from https://github.com/enc-X/mqtt-ir-transceiver/archive/master.zip).
From the list with files in the left tab open the platformio.ini and change the upload_port = com12 to the correct port with your ESP8266
Select “PlatformIO/Build” from the menu on top and wait for the build to finish. The needed libraries will be downloaded and installed automatically.
If no errors you will see “No issues” message on the bottom.
Next click “PlatformIO/upload” and keep an eye on the messages. If the COM port is not correct you’ll see errors ( error: Failed to open com12 etc).
Once successfully uploaded, reboot your ESP.

thebgrian · January 13, 2017, 5:41pm

After the reboot your new IR/MQTT ESP will broadcast an SSID that looks like this - IRTRANS-XXXXXX.
Connect to that SSID and a configuration page should open. If not find what is your gateway and paste that IP in your browser.
In that config page you need to configure the real WiFi network you want to connect to, the MQTT server IP and the prefix for your MQTT messages.

thebgrian · January 13, 2017, 5:44pm

Just noticed that mix_at_pl has updated the GitHub read.me with the instructions.
Again thank you for the great work:).

TedStriker · January 31, 2017, 11:57pm

I already have mosquitto running TLS secured and really like to keep it that way.
Is there any chance to use your fine tool via mqtts (TLS)? I don’t mean certificate based authentication, but an encrypted connection to the broker would be great.

mix_at_pl · February 4, 2017, 8:12pm

Hello,

I will try to do this, but I can’t guarantee that it will happen in 2 or 3 weeks
As I know TLS support with MQTT on ESP it should work.

mix_at_pl · March 12, 2017, 11:12am

It took more then 3 weeks but I’ve just uploaded TLS-enabled version of code.

6s1gm4 · May 9, 2017, 12:12am

I can send the NEC and SAMSUNG codes, but I could not send the raw codes through the broker. Could you give me an example of the topic and message to be published?

ruud_elberts · May 9, 2017, 4:52pm

Take a look at esp easy has a IR option with sending raw code

1technophile · May 10, 2017, 4:27pm

Either with @mix_at_pl implementation or OpenMQTTGateway you should take a look also to the sendGC function. Global cache database contains a lot of IR codes that you will be able to send with both gateways.

I followed your short guide, but cannot compile the project.

What am I doing wrong?

toggsiii · July 4, 2017, 9:43am

markszabo released a new version of IRremoteESP8266 in June. v2.0 is a complete rewrite hence all the compile errors. You will need to reference the old IRremoteESP8266 code in the PlatformIO.ini file. Change
lib_deps = https://github.com/markszabo/IRremoteESP8266/archive/master.zip
to
lib_deps = https://github.com/markszabo/IRremoteESP8266/archive/v1.2.0.zip

You will of course not be able to take advantage of all markszabo’s continuing improvements.
The alternative is follow markszabo’s notes on how to update (mix_at_pl’s) code - beyond my skills but perhaps mix_at_pl would like to take a look at it…

mix_at_pl · July 15, 2017, 1:24pm

Yes - thats reason of problem. Temporarly I’ll update repo and start work on mingration to the new version of IRemote. Thanks toggsiii.

mix_at_pl · October 23, 2017, 8:09pm

Module now works with current version of IRremoteESP8266 library.

interesting
sadly got an IRrecv does not name a type, have to do some further digging
