First of all, I will immediately say that this project is now launched on Kickstarter. It is crowdfunding project.
We met a lot of support and suggestions from smart home enthusiasts, so we considered it appropriate to publish a post about the device on snbforums.
Therefore, sorry in advance if the post seemed to you advertising. But in fact, this device can really be useful in automation.
LOOK.in Remote2 is the first IR remote control on the market that monitors all IR signals in real time and changes the status of the TV / AC or other appliances, even if you turned it on from the physical remote control.
Device is powered by Micro-USB (500 ma) or 4xAA batteries (Up to 2 weeks work).
Since the release of Remote1 in 2019, team worked hard to collect feedback and prepare a new version for release.
If you are interested in a product, you can check its Kickstarter page for more information.
Retail device price will be $59, but we offer discounts during Kickstarter campaign.
The purpose of this post is not even advertising so much as to collect your ideas.
The community has already suggested to us that we need to add the local MQTT client to the device and we checked the possibility of adding this, and also added this functionality to the backlog.
Tell me, what difficulties did you face in working with IR remotes and what functionality do you need that is not available in any product?
Thank you!
