So, while I’ve managed to integrate relay control and now a DS18B20 via I2C, I’m ready to take on the next challenge which will be, building a complete activity based remote control with homeassistant and IR.
I have a PI, with a IR transmitter. I would like to know where to start in regards to sending IR commands to devices. Is there an integration for this?
Also, I see a lot of posts regarding installing packages with apt-get, but I’m running hassio OS and so, apt is not recognized. Is there a workaround for this?
Either a ESP32 or a ESP8266.
I don’t know of you can do it on the pi, i haven’t bothered with it.
Although my pi is positioned in such a way it could replace a ESP then it has never crossed my mind.
They are so cheap and my time is far more valuable.
Not sure why this is not possible.
Do you get any error messages?
