I have a friend who has a Somfy awning and didnt want to spend the couple hundred dollars or so to make it smart.
So I thought a D1 Mini piggy-backed to the remote would come in handy and do the job, and it did!
This is by no means an expert solution, and I’m sure there are better ways to write the code, but it works well. He’s hidden the remote in a cupboard anyway, and controls it via the companion app and automations.
