What if we were able to use an esp as a receiver of ir from a tv remote,in which few buttons are not used and can be used to turn on/off lights or lock the door?
For example if i press 1 on remote then it sends IR info to esp1 and then this esp sends the direct link to the corresponding server and turn on a particular device or a group of devices on esp2.
P.s i had no clip art of server so i added an oven
(sorry).
