I have an USB IR Receiver that looks like the picture below. I see it in the hardware portion of HA as well. Information from that screen copied below. I’d like to be able to use the device to “listen” for IR signals. Is that possible?
Alternatively, I’m running HA on an Odroid N2+ that has an IR receiver. I’d be happy to use it instead.
I’m trying to use existing hardware instead of buying another ESP device.
