WiFi IR Blaster Remote
WiFi IR Blaster Kit – Streamline Every Remote into a Browser Dashboard
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Tired of juggling three remote controls just to watch a movie? This kit turns that frustration into a single, elegant solution. You’ll build a WiFi-connected universal IR blaster that learns the exact codes from your existing TV, AC, or set-top box remotes and replays them from any browser on your home network. No apps to install, no cloud dependencies—just a dedicated web dashboard you can bookmark on every phone and laptop at home.
What You'll Build
You’ll create a compact breadboard circuit centered around the ESP8266 NodeMCU. An IR receiver (TSOP1738) sniffs and decodes the 38 kHz signals from your original remotes, while three IR LEDs driven by BC547 transistors blast the learned codes with room-wide coverage. The end result is a responsive web interface where each button fires the exact command you captured—switch channels, adjust AC temperature, or control a music system—all from a single screen.
What You'll Learn
- Configure an ESP8266 as a self-contained web server that parses HTTP requests to trigger hardware actions
- Decode NEC and other 38 kHz IR protocols using a TSOP1738 receiver and raw timing analysis
- Design a transistor-based driver circuit to amplify IR LED output for reliable 5–7 metre range
- Build a lightweight HTML/CSS dashboard hosted directly on the microcontroller, accessible without internet

Who This Kit Is For
B.Tech ECE and EEE students tackling IoT mini-projects will find this kit directly aligns with their curriculum. CBSE Class 11–12 students exploring embedded systems for science exhibitions can present a complete home automation proof-of-concept. It’s equally at home in ATL Tinkering Labs teaching web-controlled electronics, and among Smart India Hackathon teams building quick prototypes around smart living.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Open the included QR code for an interactive AI companion that walks through every connection and calibration. If something still doesn’t work, our WhatsApp support team responds within hours to help you debug.
Can I use this to control my air conditioner from my phone?
Yes, the TSOP1738 receiver learns the IR codes of virtually any AC remote that uses a 38 kHz carrier. Once captured, they become buttons on your web dashboard, accessible from any smartphone on the same WiFi network.
What if the IR LED range isn’t long enough?
The kit includes a transistor driver circuit that boosts the signal significantly. If you need even more reach, you can lower the 100Ω resistor value a little—our AI companion will guide you through safe tuning.
Do I need to solder anything?
No, the entire project is built on the included breadboard. Everything is plug-and-play, so you can experiment, rewire, and reuse components without permanent soldering.
ESP8266 learns IR codes from original remotes and replays on command from browser.
