IR Receiver

[nwells]

Is it possible to add on a IR receiver to this board similar to what was on the A4? If not, what would you suggest to add in that functionality?

if you want add IR receiver to KC868-A8, the simplest way is use IR reciever's DATA pin connect to 433M sender's GPIO pin. there is a black socket of 433M sender, have 3 pins: VCC,GND,DATA, you can use these 3 pins for IR receiver.

I've tried adding https://www.jaycar.co.nz/arduino-compati...e/p/XC4427 but nothing seems to register in Arduino. I've tried the script from this forum as well as an example one from Ardunio-IRemote. They both compile and upload fine but I never get any output of buttons from multiple remotes.

I am a software developer but I am new to this Arduino so I may have missed a step.

take a photo, how you wire with KC868-A8 , maybe GPIO connect pin wrong.

I've tried it around both ways as well.

check this pins of KC868-A8, whether is correct with your IR receiver module.

It appears to be the right way around according to their datasheet:

because the IR receiver work voltage is 5v, now you have connect with 3v. you can let this pin connect with 5v will be work fine.

I've tried this again and still no not receiving any output.

I can confirm that the IR receiver is acknowledging the signal as the LED on the IR receiver blinks at the same time the button on the remote is clicked. I have logging turned on and logging output to dump all.

I've also tried building with ESPHome using these settings:
remote_receiver:
  pin:
    number: 15
    inverted: true
  dump: all

i have told you to use KC868-A8's 433M "sender" gpio pin. use GPIO2 will work fine.
