Product description
APPLIANCE IR CONTROL – Convert your smartphone into a multifunctional smart remote control for conventional IR-enabled appliances. It is compatible with an extensive variety of 22 categories, over 2000 brands, and more than 500,000 models, including televisions, air conditioners, set-top boxes, DVD players, amplifiers and projectors. This functionality allows you to streamline your device management by replacing multiple physical remotes with a single application.
IR2MQTT HOME ASSISTNAT – IR2MQTT serves as a vital bridge between your traditional IR-controlled devices, such as TVs and air conditioners, and your Home Assistant smart home system. By capturing infrared signals from your physical remote and converting them into MQTT messages that Home Assistant can understand, you can combine IR devices with other smart devices. This enables the creation of complex and personalized automation scenarios, such as turning on the TV and adjusting the air conditioner temperature simultaneously when you enter the living room.
UPDATABLE AND PROGRAMMABLE – The cloud-based device library is constantly being updated, ensuring that your eRemote HA maintains compatibility with the latest appliances on the market.In addition, if any IR code for a specific button is unavailable, you have the option to program the IR template or learn new buttons. This flexibility means your eRemote HA can adapt to any future changes in your appliance collection.
WORKS WITH ALEXA & GOOGLE HOME – Enhance your smart home experience by controlling all your connected appliances with simple voice commands. You don’t even need to open an app, just ask Alexa or Google Home to perform actions on your TV, air conditioner, or other devices. This hands-free operation eliminates the hassle of searching for the right remote control, making your daily life more convenient.
EASY SETUP AND USE – eRemote HA only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection(not 5GHz). However, during setup, your phone can be connected to either 5GHz Wi-Fi or even a cellular network for maximum convenience. With an ultra-wide IR signal range of up to 12m, it can cover a large room. In most cases, you don’t even need to point the device directly at the IR receiver, as the signals can be reflected off walls, providing seamless control from any angle.
PLEASE NOTE – Requires a 5V/1A power adapter. The product pairs via WiFi and only supports infrared devices.

Replacing my aging Harmony Hub with this
Works well with Home Assistant if you take the time to set it up properly. That includes setting up MQTT. This device is a bargain at this price.

More effective than ESPHome blasters
I use this with Home Assistant. One thing to note: a while back, you needed a custom integration from github to use these with home assistant. That system is a little clunky, but I liked it since you could store as many codes in HA as you wanted, and send those codes to as many blasters as you wanted without re-training. These new units ship with an “eRemote HA” firmware that supports home assistant out of the box, but with some limitations that I think don’t work for me (only one device of each “type” max!) and anyway, a way that doesn’t work the same as my current setup. I had to roll back the firmware to an earlier version as mentioned on linknlink’s website if you search for that (look for “Rollback eRemote HA to eRemote”).Anyway, all of that is a little clunky but I’m using it in a way not supported directly by the manufacturer, so eh. The main point of my review is to point out that my alternative is ESPHome-based IR blasters, and this is WAY more effective than those – it seems to cast a much wider/more uniform IR illumination that catches way more end-devices in my room than my custom ESPHome devices, so I’m pleased.

App Is Beyond Terrible
Where is the local bluetooth connectivity for configuration? Configuring mapping works great so long as you can maintain connectivity but the app loses the sub device connection very frequently. When you have to set up many buttons manually this is beyond frustrating.However, once you fight through the atrocious setup, it works great in HA through MQTT. The fact that you can do manual mapping is a great feature.

dud pieces of plastic
The WiFi chip is garbage. It gets stuck in a loop between Blue and Purple lights and never hits the Green setup mode. If you have a modern router (like a Ubee or anything WiFi 6), this thing will lock up and become a “brick black hockey puck” within days. There is zero hardware reliability here.

En general buena
Bueno, pero no tan fácil de configurar

Home Assistant
Installed very easily and works consistently with Home Assistant. The learning aspect is clunky and the labels are weird but for $20 I have control of my devices. I bought another!

Doesn’t Work With Imperial Units
It works well with Home Assistant over MQTT but beware if you’re an American using it as a controller for HVAC. It can only broadcast to Home Assistant in Celsius, but it doesn’t inform Home Assistant that it’s broadcasting in Celsius so there’s no way to correct it. It’s a bummer because it’s a nice little puck for the price, but it’s missing one line in their MQTT JSON to make it far more functional.

Works perfectly with Home Assistant via the MQTT protocol. It was a little fiddly to get it set up, but once I stopped trying to use the device picker and went to a custom setup it worked first time. I should really take a star off for that, but it gains it back for its complete reliability. Zero dropouts and zero misfires and because it is using MQTT it is 100% local for me.

Excellent little device! It takes a bit of fiddling with to figure out how to set up but once you do I was able to add things to my home assistant with ease! I am now walking around my house like Tony Stark turning on my previously dumb devices, even old ones I worried would not be compatible. Very compact and powerful! I am really excited to see if it can add my older model roomba.

Perfetto per home assistant

Dieser IR WLan Adapter wurde für die Einbindung einer älteren, nicht smartfähigen Klimaanlage von DIMPLEX genutzt. Es war zwar ein klein wenig umständlich, aber es funktioniert. Nun kann ich im Sommer den Überschuss der PV bei vollem Akku direkt in die Klimaanlage schicken.

Efficace mais il manque certains protocoles IR importants pour des climatiseurs, et obligation de passer par un Cloud chinois
