ANAVI Infrared pHAT - Smart Remote Control for Raspberry Pi

ANAVI Infrared pHAT

Transform your Raspberry Pi into a smart remote control.

ANAVI Infrared pHAT is an open-source hardware extension board that converts your Raspberry Pi into a smart remote control, bringing your old appliances like air conditioners, televisions, and Hi-Fi systems into the Internet of Things (IoT) era.

Starting is easy. No soldering is required. Just connect the ANAVI Infrared pHAT to the Raspberry Pi by hand and follow the specific steps in the detailed user manual. For interactivity and programmability, the ANAVI Infrared pHAT supports sensor modules for temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and light. Free and open-source application examples written in Python and C are available on GitHub.

In May 2017, the first version of the ANAVI Infrared pHAT was successfully crowdfunded, and all orders were shipped promptly. Following high demand, all subsequent boards sold out quickly. Due to this interest, we need your help again to produce another batch. Together we can reduce manufacturing costs and lower the final product price. Every contribution matters and makes a difference. Please help us create more open-source hardware boards for you!
