thedre Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) I did a quick search but couldn't find a thread on this.Could you let me know is it possible to write code to use Flirc to turn on and off air conditioning and set the setpoint based on indoor and or outdoor air temperature with a Raspberry Pi and the correct associated hardware? If so has someone done it?Cheers Andre Edited August 31, 2016 by thedre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedre Posted August 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 I watched a YouTube on the Flirc. Very cool but I guessing would need some mods to do the above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yawor Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 HiIt depends on whether you have an ability to somehow interface Raspberry Pi with your AC. Flirc has nothing to do with that as this is only a receiver - it can't send IR signals to other devices.If you are able to control AC with RPi (for example by using some GPIO connections or other interface) then you need some software that is able to listen for keyboard events and act upon receiving them. For example you could use TriggerHappy daemon which can intercept keyboard events and call some scripts. Then just record some keys in Flirc with some remote and configure the daemon to call your scripts which would control the AC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
