I have some Shelly devices which will trigger some events for me, but what I need to do at the end of things is fire an IR/RF event via a Web/HTTP interface. Are there any IR/RF blaster devices I can do this with? I already have a TUYA type IR/RF blaster, but I can’t see that it has any form of web interface I can utilise, (or) for the best of me I cannot see it, I can’t even work out what the TUYa device IP address is, it just shows a 180.x.x.x off-lan address under device info. Any help or guidance is appreciated.
Easy may be subjective depending on your skill set but you could definitely make this using a single board pc like the rasp pi or equivalents.
Wire up an IR blaster to the device. You could build it yourself or I’m sure there must be something premade you can purchase.
Set up a web server with any scripting language that accepts http and can access the command line (so basically all of them but I would personally use PHP)
When you POST to localhost /abcd have that script call a command line program that fires off commands on the IR device.
Depending on what you are communicating with you could also potentially drop IR and communicate directly with a hard wire.
