RemoteControl-RPI

This dockerfile build IR remote control image for RaspberryPi(ARM) with Docker. The remote container is built on Alpine base image using Pigpio that is Python3.5 Library. The app is then available from any other systems by WebAPI.

Requirement

The app must be run on RaspberryPi and be required environment that is runnable Compose.

Usage

Run

   $ docker-compose up -d

IR Console Page.

   http://[IP address]:20080

Send IR signal

• IR FileName must be set IR filename. It read automatically filenames under remote/source directory and set items. If you select it, the page set automatically selectable items to combobox named 'IR Command'.
• IR Command must be set IR command in you assigned 'IR filename' in the above Combobox.

Scheme

The following is a scheme example.

• In : GPIO 24
• Out : GPIO 25

Generate IR file

1. Enter remote docker container.

   $ docker-compose exec remote sh
   

2. Type following command

   $ addir [IRFilename] [IRCommandname]
   

3. Push a button on remote device

example

   $ addir tv power_on
   -- button pushed --
   Recording Press key for 'power_on' Okay

Parameters

GPIO port Setting

• IR_IN_GPIO_PORT IR file input GPIO port
• IR_OUT_GPIO_PORT IR file output GPIO port

'env' file sets the ports

       IR_IN_GPIO_PORT=24
       IR_OUT_GPIO_PORT=25

WebAPI

Any Other systems are able to control the app by WebAPI. You send IR command by way of them, it executes command and returns the result json object then.

   http://[IP address]:20080/api/remotecontrol.php?filename=[IRFilename]&command=[IRCommandname]

example

URL included WebAPI

       http://[IP address]:20080/api/remotecontrol.php?filename=samplefile&command=samplecommand1

Result json object

       {"commandstatus":"success","filename":"samplefile","sendcommand":"samplecommand1"}
