Control Jarolift covers with ESPHome and an original Remote Control

I smartified my original Jarolift remote control with ESPHome and a D1 Mini to control my TDEF shutters.

Before I tried the solution that emulates the remote with software and a C1101 tranceiver (https://community.home-assistant.io/t/control-jarolift-covers-with-esp8266-c1101-module/262224. But I could not make it 100% reliable. It usually worked for a while and then crashed,

So I decided to use my Jarolift TDRC 01 remote control and connect the buttons to relays that are controlled by a D1 Mini running ESPHome. This works very well, no crashes so far.

It looks like this:

And this is the ESPHome .yaml file for it. I programmed it so that the relays are pulsed simulating a short press of the up/down/stop buttons.
