Remote Control with ESP32 IR Receiver (with LCD Screen)

In this project, we use the TSOP4838 IR receiver module to capture signals from a TV, air conditioner, or any other infrared remote control using the ESP32. With the IRremote v4 library, we display and log the unique code for each button on the I2C LCD screen. We then use these codes to turn an LED on and off with the remote and adjust its brightness. This is a great starting point for converting old remotes into smart home controls.

ESP32 IR Universal Remote (IR Receiver + Remote Control + 3 LEDs + Buzzer + OLED)

With the ESP32, you can read a standard IR remote control and use it to control your own device! In this project, we use an infrared receiver (NEC protocol, 38 kHz) to capture the signals from a 20-button IR remote. We’ve defined different actions for each button: buttons 1, 2, and 3 toggle three separate LEDs; the PWR button turns them all off; and the numbers 4–9 display special characters on the OLED. The SSD1306 OLED display shows the last button pressed in large font, along with a descripti
