Design and Optimization of an IR-Based Automation System with Telegram Bot Integration for Remote Device Control

Automation is advancing rapidly, with infrared (IR) communication being a key method for controlling electronic devices. Despite this, challenges remain in optimizing IR controllers for consistent performance across varying angles and task loads. A 3D design and a robust algorithm have been developed to enhance the system's accuracy, while security is ensured by matching a unique TOKEN with the Telegram bot for each session. Error rates were analyzed across different angles, with specific zones determined based on performance. Minimal error rates defined the working zone, while higher rates indicated critical and invalid zones. Error rates increased as the transmitter moved further from the optimal angles, such as a 0–6 % error rate when operating within a 0° - 5° range. Reaction time was calculated across multiple tasks, showing an average of 5 seconds per command. Mismatch rates, observed during higher task loads, rose sharply when handling many tasks. For instance, the mismatch rate was 0 % for 12 tasks but 20 % when executing 20 tasks. Performance evaluations demonstrated optimal IR signal strength for reliable control within a distance of 10 to 15 inches, with diminishing effectiveness beyond 20 inches. These findings provide a foundation for developing more reliable and efficient IR control systems for practical applications.
