the topaz doesnt have a irda port. wish it did though. loved it on my hermes.
Well, but can I connect it to the device via MiniUSB?

maybe, seems like more hassle than its worth to me. just use bluetooth
i am missing it also, my Axim x51 was also a remote control replacement
Anyone know of a decent app? I haven't been able to find anything decent other than stock. I think having physical buttons for channel changing would be awesome.
i think that lg has their remote control software locked down. i dont think you can install any other working RC software on the g2 or g3

I know for a fact that Galaxy Universal Remote works perfectly. It is a paid app but it is the best one I have found. Way better than the stock Remote Control app.
But I don't know of any that use physical buttons unfortunately.
But it is possible for third party apps to use the IR Blaster.
I've added a few things to my head unit but i would like to add more sensors.
First was the external wifi antenna.
Then the extra ground from the display panel ground to the chasis.
And now im wondering how i can add basic arduino sensors.
Such things as:
Accelerometer
Gyroscope
Compas
Light intensity
Preasure
Temperature
Is it as simple as getting the sensor and adding it to the i2c bus or is there a better way?
Another thing is that I'd like to add a battery backup and connect it so that the os recognises it and gives me voltage and temperature. How could i do that ?
And lastly I'd like to change the right tune knob to a rotary knob instead of the spring loaded one. I just dont know if i could get a rotary one to replace it or if i would have to use a rotary encoder and an arduino to translate that into momentary on/off's.
Thanks
Stephen

Instead of arduino, maybe you can send UDP data to HU from another android device that have more sensors (i.e.: android smartphone): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ubccapstone.sensorUDP&hl=it

Cool thanks.
Im subscibed to that thread.
Does the android os sensor suite also include libraries for external sensors and would it recognise a well known sensor if i simply connected it using any of the busses?
As in: could i add a light sensor and have the os recognise that its a light sensor and to use that for diming the screen like a typical smart phone or what is the process to make that happen?

Id like to build the sensors in to the unit once i figure out a way to integrate but ill have a look at that

I guess you read the other thread.
How would the OS auto magically recognize your sensor and know what to do with it?
Do you really have a problem with dimming or are you looking at tinkering with this for fun?
I like Mekanix1's idea...
I would really like to see inclinometer and G meter working in Torque app.

What is this good for? Is it because of noise in the speakers? Because I have a noise and maybe this is another try for me to get rid of

Just for fun. Id like to add the same sensors that would be in every smartphone. I thought that the framework would be there and all i would have to do is find a way to make it happen.

On mine there was terrible emi interference when using the front mic and making calls over bluetooth.
Turns out it was because the ground plain of the display was inducing emi into the mic and feeding it through to the bt module.
I added a ground wire from the display board's ground to the chassis ground and it reduced the noise considrerably.
The next thing i did was disconnect the mic ground and just connect that directly to the chassis ground instead of on the display board and that fixed the problem.
For example

External usb sensors maybe can be easier solution than build them? http://www.yoctopuce.com/EN/products/usb-position-sensors/yocto-3d
However, i think the bigger problem is not hardware, but software: the Android OS of Huifei HU is not a "full and standard Android 4.4" so it is missing some features, like sensor reading capabilities...

I used an android sensor scanner on my unit and it said there was support for a variety of sensors but no input was detected.
I wonder how much one of those would cost to get and if android would recognize it.
I mean the unit does recognize different usb things I've connected.
It recognized a usb keyboard and mouse.
Just tried with an arduino connected via usb.
I uploaded a simple serial command called ping pong.
Basically when the arduino senses a connection to something on the serial it sends the text ping, and using a basic serial terminal app I got the text. Then responded with pong and it responded back. So, There is one way of having communication with an external device to do something useful.
The next thing I tried was upload a sensor suite app. If read a pressure sensor, humidity and temperature along with a real time clock.
Once connected it fed all that information to the serial program. I could see how I could add temperature and vibration sensors to it so that I could read something useful happening in the vehicle. Then I could just add sensors to the drive-train and have a way of monitoring. lots of interesting things to mess with.
Now its just a matter of using processing to create some sort of GIU. Arduino i can play with but processing is stil la mystery to me
I have been looking into this as well, but more as a future plan, as I don't have my HU yet.
Would be interested in getting direct sensor I2C support, shall start doing some digging to see how it's dune in regular phones
Did anyone come right with integrating external sensors to these HU units. Would love to use Torques inclinometer functions with an external accelerometer
Hello,
I've bought a IR Jack from AliExpress and I've downloaded ZaZaRemote to control it, but I'm not able to make it works. I think that the problem is that it can't find the correct mount point
Any of you has ever bought a IR Jack???
How did you make it work???
Thanks for help
Edit: I've tried with a Sony Z5 Premium and it's working, so probably the problem is that the application can't find the correct mount point
That device appears to be an iPhone accessory and requires a special app to control only on iOS. The app you have appears to be just a regular IR remote app for phones that have a built in IR emitter like many Samsung or LG phones.

Thanks for answer, but in on of the reviews review I've read about someone with a Sony that was able to use it. Anyway the application is supposed to work with every remote emitter, not only built in, I've seen videos in which they use it with a Jack IR

Since the kernel sources are available I am guessing it might be possible eventually? Someone mentioned in a post that remote IR blasters just work at higher frequencies, so if the hw on Poco supports then.. yes??

its front notch has an IR camera, IR emitter, normal camera, earpiece and proximity sensor. the IR emitter could (very likely in theory) be used like an IR blaster. Has anyone tried installing Mi Remote on their Poco F1?
the review page (6) on gsmarena says it has an "IR blaster" but that's probably a typo : (cant post links because this is my first post on XDA altough i've been lurking here for a few years without reg)
ot: please tell me if call forwarding works for anyone natively on the google dialer app when you have lineageOS

I did try installing the latest Mi Remote from playstore having the same doubt/hope.
Unfortunately, it says that the installed device does not support MI remote due to lack of IR blaster. Alternatively, it says you can use the remote via a common Wi-fi network. So I guess it doesn't work.

There must be a way to force it to use the IR blaster, just as you could reroute it to the screen, it just needs something to output 1s and 0s, on and off
Yes you can !!

Either you need a Node MCU or an arduino with a Bluetooth module. So it can act as a gateway between your phone and locking system, thereby you can easily communicate with your HOME LOCK (only for digital locks :silly: )

You can use a solenoid or actuator for an extra locking bolt , controlled by a cheap WIFI on/off switch
It has ir camera nit the emitter. Every living thing in this world emmits IR waves which it captures. Hope everyone understands.

I get it, but no. Look up a couple Pocophone reviews on Youtube, some of them spend some time on the IR unlock. If they have video of it working in the dark you'll see a light red flash across the person's face. There is also an IR emitter in the phone. Of course, it would be awkward to point things with the way it's placed but it beats having to buy and bring with you everywhere a dongle with emitter.

That's IR wave l. Beacuase we dont emmit is uniformly. Some place have high intensity and some have low intensity
Actually it's not possible since, the frequencies are not the same, the ir receiver in your tv should not be able to see those that are emitted by your phone. There's a lot of infrared wavebands and the ir emitter doesn't emit on the right one, and you can't change it unless you change the emitter.

I mean you see the line shine from the phone over the person's face like a scan.
But here is a screenshot of the keynote :
(I think I attached it correctly, not sure)
EDIT: and you see "infrared lighting" well that's the emitter.

Actually I'm wrong since the light emited by the blaster is visible to IR detectors (just tested with my Honor 7 ir blaster/receiver) ... So it may be possible, imagining that we could control with enough precision the IR led. May be a good idea to ask to a kernel maker if it could be possible.
OffTopic : Mdr pas courant d'avoir des reunionnais sur xda c vrai xD
Interesting idea
I'd make an app if I knew how to...

Atleast the people are taking the idea seriously now, with enough activity maybe it will catch someones devs eyes and he would push the matter.
Forgot this whole issue, i'l be on watch and post bavk here if I find anything.
I am very skeptical that this is possible. I don't think that the main problem would be a possible slight wavelength mismatch but the needed led modulation frequency. You see, the IR code is not simply encoded by a different pattern of long and short IR pulses but that pattern is superimposed on a high carrier frequency. When the led is 'ON' it's really pulsing on and off usually 38,000 times a second. This is something that's easy to do in hardware but difficult to do in software, specially if you are not running a real-time-OS (don't think that this linux kernel is).
It would be much easier to build a separate wifi->IR gateway.
