IoT provides the ability to connect a large number of devices using networking. These devices have their own unique identifiers and protocol, create a smart environment through which other devices can be connected over internet. Using it for betterment of our society should be our prime goal
Watching my grand mother having difficulty in using remotes for very other device. I though of using my Google Home to control all those devices which she mainly used remote for. Though voice commands were not as useful as directly switching channels at first but once it becomes a habit, it is difficult to look at a remote to control the device (say TV).
Here I use many libraries to connect IR transmitter and esp-01 and the result can be seen in these, https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ2KX-Nxf8ZBOJtkaBng2V9PyHMxujH9z
The library for IR, https://github.com/z3t0/Arduino-IRremote#irremote-arduino-library
This system is very useful for all those whose are either having problem controlling devices directly or are just like my grand mother. It should also be used to improve the functional capabilities of blind and visually impaired which forms the locus of this project.
