Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a low-cost setup to convert an infrared (IR) controllable device to a smart IoT device. We design and implement a circuit board containing an IR sensor and multiple IR LEDs in parallel that transmit up to around seventeen meters. The board has an interface that can be connected to a Raspberry Pi and other similar devices. Our IR signal learning tool can record IR signals of an IR remote while our IR replay tool can replay the recorded signals to control the corresponding IR device. Therefore, a smartphone can be used to remotely control IR devices through an MQTT broker on a cloud server since the Raspberry Pi can be connected to the cloud. We also introduce the security implications of infrared communication using our setup and demonstrate attack scenarios. For example, a drone armed with our device can remotely turn off a TV - https://youtu.be/rPbzPbWrbf8 or http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzQ0Njc5MzM3Ng.
