Responding to an Infrared Remote Control

Abstract

The definition of the Internet of things has evolved due to convergence of multiple technologies, real-time analytics, machine learning, commodity sensors, and embedded systems. Traditional fields of embedded systems, wireless sensor networks, control systems, automation (including home and building automation), and others all contribute to enabling the Internet of things.The concept of a network of smart devices was discussed as early as 1982. The Iot's major significant trend in recent years is the explosive growth of devices connected and controlled by the Internet. The wide range of applications for Iot technology mean that the specifics can be very different from one device to the next but there are basic characteristics shared by most.(Infrared remote control) A handheld, wireless device used to operate audio, video and other electronic equipment within a room using light signals in the Infrared (IR) range. Infrared light requires line of sight to its destination. Low-end remotes use only one transmitter at the end of the unit and have to be aimed directly at the equipment.
