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.

    Check dhcp leases in your dhcp server.? (Likely router)

    I think there are REST gateways for Broadlink.

    Or do you mean like a web interface?

      Shelly devices are able to trigger events via a very easy HTTP request so I was hoping for something much the same to send IR/RF. I have looked high and low on my router but I can’t seem to identify which device actually is my TUYA device (it works okay so must be on the network but hell if I can find which device it is), and I have no idea and can’t find online any info if the TUYA device even has a web controllable interface to even begin with, so getting I’m kinda stuck on how to progress right now.

      The TUYA device I have is a ‘MOES IR/RF Blaster device’.

    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.

    1. 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.

    2. 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)

    3. 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.

    There is an esp32 project that you can use. You capture a remote signal and then can replay it by hitting a URL that the app spits out. I can’t remember the name but will post it when I get back to my desk.

        It isn’t. You can make one with DuPont connectors, and they sell them already crimped. I am away from my desk but can edit with an image in a bit. If I forget hit me up.
