LittleNodes_IR_Bridge

ESP8266 IR bridge compatible with alexa. Control your IR devices such as a TV by acting as an IR bridge via Amazon Alexa voice commands.

How it works. The INO sketch make use of the ESP8266IRReceiver and Wemo Emulator libraries. The web front end is making use of twitter bootstrap on a SPIFFS filesystem.

What it does The LittleNodes IR bridge can learn infrared remote codes and play them back to a device by acting on Alexa voice commands.

Important Prerequisite: Without the frontend HTML/CSS GUI the device will not work. Make sure you upload the GUI files using a SPIFFS upload plugin from the Arduino IDE.
