My final goal is to create something cheap that can be connected to anything. I’ll release a public rest API, so you can power on/off and more to almost any infrared device. The board even has a infrared receiver so is possible to capture new IR codes.
Right now my project is almost complete. My IR database is small but I have the most common devices.
Also you can flash the board with any firmware that you want, you dont need use the remotsy cloud.
If you are a developer and wants help me to create the integration with Home Assistant let me know and we can talk. All the code for this integration will be Opensource.
I did a small batch of boards here is the link to the store if you want try it.
@jorgecis Wow very cool board, I want few ones How can I order some ? on Tindie, product not avalaible for france delivery, contact form broken on tindie and nothing to order on your website
Let me check what is the shipping rate to France, I’ll added to Tindie so you can put your order, quick question are you planning use my cloud or are you planning to create your own firmware.
@jorgecis Thanks a lot for adding shipping to france, I got notification of Tindie Will send you an email to talk about it I plan to use own firmware as I don’t want to depend of outside connection !
Ok in that case take a look to this https://github.com/jorgecis/Remotsy I upload some examples of how to control de rgb led, and how to use the awesome infrared library.
My home IOT is based on mqtt between the nodes (mostly esp8266 hardware). Any chance I can use Remotsy in that environment? (Without requiring a web-based cloud service).
Will I still be able to learn new IR codes from new devices?
The remotsy firmware is cloud base, and the communication with my server is via MQTT, maybe the best for you is to flash your own firmware in my remotsy device. The process is very simple and also I provide some source code examples.
Received the Remotsy. Before I start hacking it, I plan to use it as designed. I am impressed with the quality of the 3D printed case - I gotta get me one.
Someone figured out how to flash it with ESPHome ? killing my heal here trying to find out how to flash it ! I soldered a jumper as indicated here https://github.com/jorgecis/Remotsy/blob/3b1626ec4319c7ce3ea8a4701d4556db1dd7293e/images/remotsy_flash.png and power module through USB port and my serial adapter wired on the dedicated pins on board but nothing works Tried straight/crossed for serial wires, tried with reset button hold while powering on board but no success so far Someone succeeded ?
I am the creator of the Remotsy device, yes you are correct you need to power the device via USB, then use a serial adapter TTL (don’t use the power pin).
To flash the Remotsy you need to put the ESP8266 in flash mode, to do this you don’t need to solder the pins with the yellow arrow. The correct way to do it is to connect the GPIO 0 to GND, then press the reset button. If you do this correctly you will see characters on the serial port, you can disconnect the GPIO0 from GND and this point and flash the board with your own firmware.
Remember the connection from GPIO0 to GND is just to put the board in flash mode, you need to remove this connection for a normal operation.

Will send you an email to talk about it
