Advice on Automating an Older RF Audio Receiver

Configuration
1

Hello all,

I have a Kenwood VR-410 Audio Receiver that I would like to automate within HA - just looking for some very simple automations - power and volume. Can anyone recomend an RF blaster that integrates well with HA that would do the job?

Thanks in advance for your help

Try this, just got it setup in my instance.

You can see my implementation here:

Thanks. Looks like I would need the pro version for RF though (Broadlink RM Pro All in One Audio Video Remote Control)

Whoops, yep, linked you the wrong one.

Do you have experience with the RF version? Is it pretty much compatible with any RF device (or might I find it won’t work with my receiver?)

Thanks
