I tried first OpenBeken and ESPhome on the Tuya CBU module wasn’t able to get my GREE remote to work with them.
Desoldered the CBU and put ESP8685-WROOM-06-H4. Also I had to make a custom Tasmota firmware to make it read my GREE remote.
Now, I have two remotes. the first one model YB1F2 Tasmota can detect any press on this remote. The other, same remote but it doesn’t have the model number written on it, Tasmota strugles to detect any press on this remote. I have to press the button 3-5 times for Tasmota to detect it.
I also tried to put ESPhome on this C3 model but never got the yaml configuration right yet. it seems the IRremoteESP8266 not supported for ESP32C3 (Not very knowledgeable on ESPhome)
