    @Reza

    Below is node sketch (v1.5.4) and openhab sitemap&items for simple control. More advanced control needs rules/scripts to make it more automation like.

    Set up the circuit, load below code or example code given and open serial monitor. Press buttons on IR remote and read hex values on serial. Note down values for buttons you need. (i.e. power off 0x184C, power on 0x104C, chanel up 0x1860 etc, RC5 protocol) If below sketch is uploaded to node, then adapt domoticz to send needed IR codes like i did in sitemaps part or use automation rules to send required commands to node to tv.

    Simple button based TV Control with OH

    Here is my node sketch:

     * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
     * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
     * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
     * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
     * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

     * REVISION HISTORY
     * Version 1.0 - Henrik EKblad
     * Version 1.1 - V_IR_SEND / _RECEIVE 16.08.2016 Any hex command received over NRF is send with IR led
     * Version 1.2 - Don't send repeting codes - 19.08.2016 T. Keles
     * Version 1.3 - Repeating code blocking correction - 01.09.2016 T.Keles
     * 
     * DESCRIPTION
     * This sketch decodes IR remote and send to gateway.
     * Rules can interpret this or simpleused to find out button codes.
     * Controller sends string code values as V_IR_Send and incoming message is emitted by IR led.
     * An IR LED must be connected to Arduino PWM pin 3.
     * An optional ir receiver can be connected to PWM pin 8. 
     * All receied ir signals will be sent to gateway device stored in V_IR_RECEIVE

          this module ( ir transmitter ) is weak in transmit . for more than 2 or 3 meter distance dont work . also for less than 1 meter we must direct connection exactly.
          i think this is related to power or noise or problem of module ?!
          can you guidance me ?

                  I'm thinking of building this but am concerned about limited range. I'd like it to work 10ft/3m. Can someone confirm that this does not work at these distances? If so, is there a way to increase the range?

                    So how can is set this node in learnmode?? V_IR_RECORD in the Serial of Arduino?
                    How do i store codes in the Eprom. SO i can use them in Domoticz

                      I know how to read out the IR signals. And to put it in the sketch manually. But I really like to make use of the record function.
                      Where and how do I make the node to set it in learn function.

                        I send command from remote control arduino read this command (i can see this in serial monitor) but this commands are not sending to gateway, my radio is working the sensor connect to gateway and controller. I use example Sketch given up in this page without changing anything.
                        Any idea whats wrong in my setup?

                            I use this IR transmitter toward my LG Tv and it works at a distance of ~3.5 m, but IR LED must be well pointed to the Tv, otherwise it doesn't work.

                              how use this module for learn my ir codes ?

                              This node decodes IR remote codes, print protocol and hex value to serial monitor and send it to gateway. Then controller can do logic on that to do some stuff.
                              The sample code also receive on/off command from controller and emits IR signal depending on it.

                              I use this node to turn on/off sony sound system (15bit sony protocol) and benq projector (NEC protocol) together beside htpc(via wol). Openhab rule send 8byte IR codes as V_IR_Send to node and node emits the required IR codes.

                                Compiler complains about not understanding decode_type_t. It should be defined in .h file or maybe you defined it in sketch but there is a problem definetly.
                                Can you post whole sketch and IR library and error message if any other so we can check and test.

                                By the way, I installed IRremote.h (v2.1.0) via library manager, and default sketch compiled without error on IDE 1.6.5 win7 and IDE 1.6.10 linux mint 17.

                                  How do you enter the raw IR codes, i.e. those that aren't covered in the sketch? I have one through the receiver in the format - 23784 1800 -800 950 -1700 1800 -850 900 -850 950 -1700 1800 -850 900 -850 900 -850 950 -800 950 -850 900

                                    @ramoncarranza When I went and looked where the library manager installed the IRremote lib(for me C:\Users\User\Documents\Arduino\libraries), it had given it an odd name like arduino_294267. I renamed it to IRremote and the issue went away.
