Repurposing an LED RF Remote to Control "anything"!

In this project I will show you how to repurpose an LED RF remote in order to control pretty much anything you want with it. That means we will have a closer look at the transmission process of the RF remote, read in the sent data with an Arduino µC and use it to control a solid state relay. This way I switch on/off LED lamps, but you can use this technique for other appliances. Let's get started!

The video gives you all the mandatory information you need. But during the next steps I will present your some additional information so that you can recreate this project easily.

Here you can find the schematic of my circuit as well as reference pictures. Use them to create your own circuit.

Before uploading the code, make sure to download and include the rc-switch library: https://github.com/sui77/rc-switch

Afterwards feel free to download my code and use it for your own circuit.

You did it! You just repurposed an RF Remote!
