Greetings! Well I am quite new to the whole Arduino and electronics world, I am studying electrical engineering and really need to get a hang of this as much as I can. So I was looking at all of the possibilities Arduino gives to the users and I was wondering: am I able/is it possible to connect Arduino Uno to Samsung air coinditioner, to write a little simple program to make my mobile phone a remote control for the air conditioner wich I can use from any distance and from anywhere. So what am I asking here is someone to tell me is it possible and if it is can I get a little guidance or a refference to somewhere? Thank you guys very much and sorry for the typos english is not my main language!
to write a little simple program to make my mobile phone a remote control for the air conditioner wich I can use from any distance and from anywhere.
OK not the simplest of projects to start with you will have to break it down and get each part working first.
-
Arduino to air conditioning - use an IR emitter to send signals to the air - con to act like a remote control. Plenty of examples of this.
-
Get a Wi-Fi shield and look at the examples of a simple web server, see how you send stuff to it and register clicks.
-
Use your mobile device to look at this site and control the web site.
-
Make the web site viewable from outside you local network.
Thank you! It's a project I want to wrap my head around to get to know how it all works, not just for the fun of lowering the temperature of the room
