# Logitech BRIO 100 A Raspberry Pi sends infrared air-conditioner commands, then a webcam checks the position of the unit's flap rather than assuming a command succeeded. The camera supplies images to software on a Raspberry Pi; the project also needs an IR transmitter and model service. Model: Logitech BRIO 100 Maker: Logitech Category: cameras-sensors Display type: Not applicable Collections: None Evidence: Source-reviewed creator project (not independent hands-on testing) Sources reviewed: 2026-11-04 Added to directory: 2026-11-04 Development route: USB camera input to Raspberry Pi software Setup: Tinkering required ## Overview A Raspberry Pi sends infrared air-conditioner commands, then a webcam checks the position of the unit's flap rather than assuming a command succeeded. The camera supplies images to software on a Raspberry Pi; the project also needs an IR transmitter and model service. Best for: Observe AC flap position. An AC remote that checks what happened. Not for: A guaranteed plug-and-play recreation without the listed hardware revisions, accessories and software setup. Where code runs: The camera supplies images to software on a Raspberry Pi; the project also needs an IR transmitter and model service. ## Editorial popularity estimate 40/100.

Part, driver circuit and electrical ratings not identified. - Required: Existing air conditioner and its remote. Exact AC and remote models not published. - Conditional: Infrared capture hardware. Only needed if no valid signal capture exists; creator does not identify the capture device. - Required: GPIO wiring and transmitter drive circuitry. Do not drive a high-current IR emitter directly from Pi GPIO. - Required: Pi 5 power supply. Choose a Pi 5-rated supply and account for the camera and IR circuit. - Required: Stable camera / emitter positioning. - Tool: Computer for setup. ## Compatibility and cautions - Camera observations show flap position, not cooling performance. Requires wiring, remote-signal capture and model service; unclear results must stay unclear. - Source-reviewed, not independently hardware-tested. Confirm the model, revision and recovery process before changing device software. ## Buy [Search Amazon (unverified)](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Logitech+BRIO+100) — Search destination only; matching listing NOT verified Search fallback only.

Requires wiring, remote-signal capture and model service; unclear results must stay unclear. 3. **Start with a reversible test**: Follow the linked project source before changing the device. Back up existing configuration, keep credentials private and stop if your hardware differs from the documented version. ## Coding-agent project brief Help me plan an ac remote that checks what happened using Logitech BRIO 100. Read https://youcanjustbuildthings.openai.chatgpt.site/projects/submission-edea2dffa1a7b0152eaa552435b98b5681a257a5f2b6dfda1ceba433217901dd and its supporting sources first. The camera supplies images to software on a Raspberry Pi; the project also needs an IR transmitter and model service. Camera observations show flap position, not cooling performance. Requires wiring, remote-signal capture and model service; unclear results must stay unclear. Confirm my exact hardware and required accessories, explain what is missing, and propose one reversible test. Ask before flashing firmware, changing privileged system settings or moving physical hardware. ## Common questions ### Where does my software run?
