Infrared

Version Info

Since v0.8.2, infrared control from various IR remotes is supported for ESP8266 and since v0.9.0 for ESP32, too.

A dedicated infrared receiver module is required. (KY-022 or TSOP38238 are confirmed to work and inexpensive)

The default sensor pin is GPIO4. It can be changed in LED settings.

Warning

IR receiving will not work on ESP8266 if you use any LED pin other than GPIO 1, 2, or 3 for digital LED strips.
