Smart Living Room (Home Theatre)

I built myself a voice controlled home theatre, with background light, screen and projector control. With an ESP8266 and an Arduino Nano.

I had to write on it, because there was no 8-Channel relay board.. sorry for that. Also its a different ESP8266 board. I'm using one with micro-USB socket.

Code

Arduino Nano projector control

this code is for the Nano, which controls the projector and the screen.

#define SCREEN_UP           7  //IN5

int aktiviert = 0;    // activation variable

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
 // Setting up 
  pinMode(2, INPUT);
  pinMode(SCREEN_DOWN, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(SCREEN_UP, OUTPUT);

  // Turning the Relay switches off in the beginning 
   digitalWrite(SCREEN_DOWN, HIGH);
   digitalWrite(SCREEN_UP, HIGH);

}//end of setup()

void loop() {  
 if(digitalRead(2) == HIGH){
       if(aktiviert == 0){        //Screen down, projector on
         digitalWrite(SCREEN_DOWN, LOW);
         delay(1000);
         digitalWrite(SCREEN_DOWN, HIGH);
         delay(30000); //Wait 45 sec.
         irsend.sendNEC(0x61D6F807, 32);
         delay(15000);
         digitalWrite(SCREEN_UP, LOW);
         delay(1000);
         digitalWrite(SCREEN_UP, HIGH);
         aktiviert = 1;
       }//end of if
    }else {
      if(aktiviert == 1){         //Screen up, projector off               
         irsend.sendNEC(0x61D6F807, 32);
         delay(1000);
         irsend.sendNEC(0x61D6F807, 32);
         delay(1000);
         irsend.sendNEC(0x61D6F807, 32);
         digitalWrite(SCREEN_UP, LOW);
