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.

I am personally interested in an IR Sender to make my old Hifi Setup smarter.

Yes, same exact boat, I was just starting to think about looking for a small, cheap device in this space for HA.

    I used a Flirc many years ago for my mythtv DVR and it worked great. https://flirc.tv/

    edit: I used the receiver, but they do make a remote. It looks cool but I have no experience with it.

    Let me know if you find one! I wanted to wait for a few months to let the experienced smart homers pave the way.
