nrf24l01 receiver controlled by any universal remote

Projects General Guidance

Hi

I have made a project to transmit data from one arduino to another using nrf24l01.

There will be hall sensor at transmitter, if hall sensor gets active it will send data to receiver and siren at receiver turns on.

now i want to control this siren using some universal remote.

Is there any such option to control nrf24l01 data using some other types of remote?

An nRF24 can only talk to another nRF24.

Most of the TV remote controls use InfraRed. You could build an IR receiver as part of one of your Arduinos and then pass the message to the other Arduino using the nRF24s. There are Arduino libraries for receiving signals from remote-control units.

Thank you robin i was thinking the same. but my receiver will be inside the aluminum box. if i place ir sensor inside the aluminum box will it work?

i am expecting to get range for 5 meters

You won't be able to receive or transmit nRF24 signals from inside a metal box. The antenna MUST be outside the box, probably perpendicular to the metal surface.

And the face of the IR sensor (perhaps a TSOP48xx) will also need to be outside the box (or viewing through a window) so it can see the IR signal.

Could you use a plastic box? I think you can get some which have an IR transparent panel.
