Powercontrol

• Pi Pico power consumption: Idle= 0.16W
• Possible power sources:
  • Cable (5V)
  • Battery
    • AA Batteries (4xAA ca. 27Tage[Idle])
    • Battery-Pack

App-Design

Structure

• Various Screens (Modes/Remotes/Devices/Add new devices)
• Different Devices (for multiple Adapters)
• Remote design (Custom GridView with Keys)

Possible Design:

Features

• Two modes:
  • Emitting-Mode
  • Receiving-Mode
• Connecting to Station with BLE
• Sending default Keys to Station

Upcoming features

• Creating different "Remotes" (Storing different key combinations for various devices)
• *Receiving Signals of remotes
• Connecting via WiFi
• sharing the device to others
• adding Devices already in the local network

Devices

• ESP32 with USB-C port (Akku?)
• (IR-Emitter)
• (IR-Receiver)
• LED
