I am looking for a remote control solution to control my Raspi 3 without using a smartphone.
I just need the following:
Volume up/down
Play/Pause
toggle input between Aux in (turntable) and a predefined radio station (since you can’t get around a smartphone for dedicated streaming via Tidal anyway)
As I have seen so far, there are two solutions:
Flirc USB Infrared Dongle with a infraraed remote control
Bluetooth remote
Does anyone have experience with either solution? Which one works better/is more reliable?
Personally I prefer a BT-Remote. As with IR the receiver and sender needs to see each other.
See:
However using the IR -remote plugin is easier to implement (see link shared by @SimonE ), as the BT requires more programming.
But your case for both solutions you need to program a script to switch between AUX and Radio
Hello wheatens i am new here, mind me if you can help me how to work with IR from es9023 hifiberrydac and raspberry pi 3b+, I’m having a hard time to find a tutorials using my same devices.
I bought an es9023 dac with remote included.
It says ir receiver pin is gpio26.
I have the same kit. Here are my files, hope they work for you. I used only the top 3 line of Buttons. The number keys are free for other options.

@ tonschmied72 Hola… estas usando el control que viene con el DAC que muestra el amigo mas arriba(@ Andeng_Makulit)?
En dónde se guardan esos archivos?
Gracias!
@tonschmied72 Hi… Are you using the controller that comes with the DAC shown by the friend above (@Andeng_Makulit)?
Where are those files saved?
Thanks!
Yes, I use that funny little remote. On some keys I used other functions than labeled (e.g. the middle CH button is used for shutdown).
The files are located on a Samba Share called “Internal Storage”. The path is Internal Storage/ir_controller/configurations/carmp3/ - you have to create an own folder for the remote and put the files in it. In my case it is “carmp3”. Then you can select the remote control.
@tonschmied72 Hello, thank you so much for your reply, it helped me a lot!
I didn’t find the files on my system in the path you mentioned, but it helped me find the location where they should be saved. Also, I used the information you provided above and my remote control started working. The only problem is that the volume doesn’t work, but that has to do with the system, not the remote control.
Thanks again!! Good day!
Unfortunately, the next and previous buttons don’t do anything.
The volume, play/pause and power off buttons are working.
Do the next/previous button need specific programming?
