I have a few IR devices I made for ESPhome but could never get things working right when capturing the code to blast. I hope this gives a good interface for watching for signals to record and blast. I am looking for that Harmoney remote level of usage.
If you're looking for Harmony level usage and have a pretty penny to spend, look at SofaBaton. Programmable universal remote with hub, and there are home assistant integrations for local control.
The goal was making tiny esp+ir sender that I can place near each device that is IR. Like my vaporizer and then remote control them. I need cheap and easy solution.
note that a lot of IR devices now blast a whole bunch of different codes for each button press, so they can control more devices with the same remote.
If you’re capturing from the remote and it seems like the code changes each time, you might need to capture it all and play back one code at a time to work out which one is for your device.
