Home Assistant* introduced support for infrared a few days ago. Not sure if it would be a good idea to stay in business for a bit longer and see if the Home Assistant community boost the sales.

- tclancy 5mo agoYes, same exact boat, I was just starting to think about looking for a small, cheap device in this space for HA.

- spl757 5mo agoI used a Flirc many years ago for my mythtv DVR and it worked great. https://flirc.tv/ https://flirc.tv/ edit: I used the receiver, but they do make a remote. It looks cool but I have no experience with it.
