I recently purchased a Broadlink RM4 Lite in order to get some of my remote controls into Home Assistant. I have learned the commands from my Dish Network remote into Home Assistant and now want to map them. I saw a pretty cool remote frontend for FireTV remotes in HACS that pretty much looked exactly like the fireTV remote and I was able to press buttons on a “virtual” remote. I was looking to do the same with the Dish remote but have no clue where to start. I have the image below…any help would be appreciated:
Did you have any luck with this?
Nope, didn’t get any responses and I’m not smart enough to figure it out. If you happened to figure anything out, please do share.
Yeah, I got it working with my Dish Hopper 3 and a Broadlink RM4 Pro by using a picture-elements card:

Each button has it’s own script. For example, here’s the script for channel up that I named script.dish_chup:
data:
num_repeats: 1

hold_secs: 0
device: Dish
command: chup
action: remote.send_command
