The infrared transponder is an important part of the smart home system and its location in the smart home system. The infrared transponder is located between the system's wireless gateway and the infrared control device, and is responsible for receiving the ZigBee signal sent by the wireless gateway, and then converting the corresponding control instruction into an infrared signal and transmitting it to achieve the purpose of controlling the infrared device. For this reason, infrared transponders must have such functions as protocol analysis, infrared signal reception, infrared signal transmission, and data storage.

The role of infrared transponders in smart home

As a core device in the universal remote control solution, the wireless infrared transponder has built-in infrared and SmartRoom transceiver modules, and has the function of learning and memorizing infrared signals. It can learn and memorize multiple infrared devices. It can use ZigBee/SmartRoom wireless signals and infrared wireless. Signals are linked to control any home device using an infrared remote control through a mobile smart terminal, such as a TV, air conditioner, washing machine, refrigerator, smart curtains, and the like. Through the wireless infrared transponder, the user can remotely control multiple electrical devices by using smart home application software on any mobile phone to achieve the purpose of integrating multiple infrared remote controller functions.

How IR Inverter Initializes

After the gateway is powered on and the network is turned on (the device is no longer allowed to join the network after 3 minutes), press and hold the reset button until the device buzzer buzzes at a frequency of 0.5s. Release the button until you find the network to stop ringing and the device initializes the network. , Join the default gateway and check if the default gateway discovers a new infrared learning device. If it is not reported for a long time, repeat the above operation.

1) Press the "SET button" 4 times to apply for joining the ZigBee network. During the network search, the system indicator will flash. After successfully joining the ZigBee network, the system indicator will turn off after turning on for 2 seconds.

2) After long pressing the "SET" button for 10 seconds, it will be restored to the factory settings. At the same time, the ZigBee network will be exited and the system indicator will be extinguished after flashing 4 times.

The smart home host needs to control the home appliances and send RF signals to the infrared transponders. The infrared transponders relay the RF signals to the infrared signals that can control the home appliances to control the functions of the electric appliances. After the initialization, use an infrared transponder to control the electrical appliances. First, perform the alignment, aim the remote control of the appliance to be controlled at the infrared transponder, and learn the function keys of the remote control to the infrared transponder. After successful learning, you can control the appliance. .
