💣 Universal IR TV Remote — "Timer Bomb" Edition

A universal infrared remote control built around a XIAO ESP32, designed to automatically turn off a TV after a set countdown — or instantly, on demand.

📋 Overview

  • ⏱️ A 30-minute timer counts down and shows the remaining time on an OLED screen.
  • 📡 When the timer hits zero, the XIAO ESP32 automatically sends an IR POWER command to switch off the TV.
  • 🔴 A second push button lets you turn off the TV instantly, without waiting for the timer.
  • 👁️ A photoresistor (LDR) checks the ambient light after the command is sent to confirm whether the TV actually turned off.
  • 🟢 Green LED → TV detected as off.
  • 🔴 Red LED → TV still seems to be on.
  • The IR LED is driven through a transistor for a stronger, more reliable signal.

The PCB itself is designed and shaped like a stick of dynamite — a small joke: the countdown reaches zero, but instead of an explosion, the TV just switches off. 😄

⚙️ How It Works

  1. Power on the device — the timer starts automatically at 30:00.
  2. The remaining time is displayed live on the OLED screen.
  3. At any point, press the instant-off button to send the IR power command right away.
  4. Otherwise, once the timer reaches 0, the IR command is sent automatically.
  5. The LDR reads the ambient brightness and lights up the green or red LED depending on whether the TV appears off.

Questions

How big is the Eteigneur de tele V2 PCB?

It measures 49.5 × 81.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Eteigneur de tele V2 use?

16 parts, built around the IR204-A-L. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Eteigneur de tele V2 KiCad files?

From the Pacotiber/Universal-TV-Remote-Control-PCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is eteigneur de tele V2.kicad_pcb and its schematic eteigneur de tele V2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Eteigneur de tele V2 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Pacotiber before reusing the design.
