How cool the proposal and the ideas!!!

My idea is to take advantage of the option of taking infrared signals from remote controls to be able to automate things in the house / office that are not automated, in this way to be able to control or automate everyday elements, such as a television, air conditioning, strips or LED lamps.
The air conditioner has the temperature sensor inside the air conditioner so to detect that the environment is cold it has to fill the entire environment with cold air and not only the area that imports important parts of the height of the environment, if we have one or more temperature sensors in the room at the heights that require their control, we could make the control of the air conditioning more effective. Something similar happens with televisions, many times we have the television turned on and we have to return to the environment to turn it off, having the option of a module where we load commands, we could from the cell phone or when it detects that there is nobody in the environment to turn off the television.
This is only with 2 application ideas, but it could be applied to anything with infrared and thus gradually automate our environment, without depending on the internet, in addition, sensors could be added according to the environment where the module will be, gas, smoke, light, distance as an alarm in the kitchen when there are children in the house, etc.
