@ScruffR Apologies if this is coming in at the wrong point of reply. I am trying to use the IRremote library to implement a simple IR based beacon/virtual tether. The idea being an IR beacon (emitter) is placed on a ceiling/wall in a room and if the tethered devices (receivers) stop detecting the IR beacon signal then they have been removed from the room and will publish an event/alarm message.

I have included the IRremote (0.0.1) library off the web IDE in a simple receiving test code and this works fine when driven by a keyes IR handset.

I have write a very simple sketch using IRremote again to transmit a Sony Power on code

```
#include <IRremote.h>

/ *******************************************************
 * Simple IR LED Beacon demo
 * 9 March 2017
 * Note TX is the output pin hard baked in
 * ***************************************************** /

#define LED_PIN D7
//
IRsend irsend;
//
void setup()
{
    Serial.begin(9600);
    pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT);
    digitalWrite(LED_PIN, LOW);
    delay(2000);
    Serial.println("setup in IR Beacon");
}
//
void loop() 
{
    Serial.println("Transmit Data");
    for (int i = 0; i < 50; i++)
    { 
        irsend.sendSony(0xa90, 12); // Sony TV power code
        digitalWrite(LED_PIN, HIGH);
        delay(40);
        digitalWrite(LED_PIN, LOW);
    }
    Serial.println("Wait 5 seconds");
    delay(5000);
}

```

However, when I build this I get the following error:

```
/src/irbeacon.cpp:1:22: fatal error: IRremote.h: No such file or directory
 #include <IRremote.h>
                      ^

compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [../build/target/user/platform-6src/irbeacon.o] Error 1
make: *** [user] Error 2

```

Clearly I am missing something here 😬
