DESCRIPTION
The IR Emitter Module emits infrared (IR) as is commonly used for creating an IR remote control or IR intrusion sensor.
APPLICATION
- Smart Home Automation: Emulates standard appliance remotes to control TVs, stereos, and air conditioners.
- Wi-Fi-to-IR Bridges: Acts as a universal remote when connected to an ESP8266 or ESP32, allowing you to control IR-reliant devices via voice assistants or smartphones.
- Wireless Data Communication: Transmits short-range, line-of-sight data (such as sensor readings or basic commands) between microcontrollers or simple robots.
- Proximity & Obstacle Detection: Functions as a short-range sensor when paired with an IR receiver module (like the KY-022 IR Receiver); the receiver detects the reflected IR light emitted by the KY-005 to gauge distances or avoid obstacles
