Yes, I have used that before but in this case I had a bunch of lambda code in order to pre-process so I wanted to call it from within the lambda. I also wasn’t aware I could template the code value, but have since learned that I can. So I altered my approach and now pre-process and determine the code in the lambda and then return the code. I originally was trying to use a string-vector dictionary in the lambda to store the various codes with a corresponding string key, but I struggled quite a…

Edit 2:

I don’t think your retrieving state the right way either.

Breaking it up a bit using buttons is probably another decent approach rather than trying to do it all in one lambda.

Need remote transmitter lambda example for sending raw code

For anyone who comes across this now, what worked for me was creating buttons using the button component to transmit the raw ir code (remote_transmitter.transmit_raw) and then using lambda in whatever other component I wanted. You can use id(my_button).press(); inside lambda to trigger it.
