• Homecheck

Addons

• SSH connection + command execution
• SunSet
• HomeCheck

Requirements

• Raspberry PI + raspbian
• eurocard or plugboard
• 1x IR-Emitter - TSAL 6200
• 1x IR-Receiver - TSOP4838
• 1x 1 kOhm Resistor

Circuit plan

Software installation

LIRC

Enter the following commands:

• $ sudo apt-get install lirc
• $ sudo vim /etc/modules
• Add the following lines:
• lircv_dev
• lirc_rpi gpio_in_pin=22 gpio_out_pin=23

With Kernel >= 3.18

Add the following line into /boot/config.txt:

• dtoverlay=lirc-rpi,gpio_in_pin=22,gpio_out_pin=23
• After this reboot the Pi

LIRC configuration

• $ cd /etc/lirc/
• $ sudo vim hardware.conf Enter/comment the following line:
• LIRCD_ARGS="--listen" TCP Listener at Port 8765
• #START_LIRCMD=false
• #START_IREXEC=false
• LOAD_MODULES=true
• DRIVER="default"
• DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
• MODULES="lirc_rpi" Save and quit the file and execute the following
• $ sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart

Read key codes

• The standard configuration file is located in /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
• For the first tests, create the file ~/led.conf
• LIRC have a lot options for key bindings, to see the options execute:
• $ irrecord -list namespace
• Notice the keys you need
• To test the receiver execute: $ sudo irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 ~/led.conf
• All commands are stored in ~/led.conf now. Copy the whole content in /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
• For each control you have to repeat this procedure

Send commands

• First restart the lirc daemon sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart
• To send a command execute: $ irsend SEND_ONCE "name of the control" "key"
• example: $ irsend SEND_ONCE TV KEY_POWER
