Great Tasmota WiFi IR sender and receiver
For IR Bridge v1.4
This little thing can capture IR commands and replay them back which effectively means it can learn any infrared-based remote-control command and replay it to command an appliance. The biggest benefit of this is that IR commands can be replayed back from Home Assistant, and there you have it, just like that, dumb appliances become smart.
The IR Bridge v1.4 is built great, looks neat, doesn't take up too much space and is so strong it can be placed anywhere in the room.
The documentation is sorely lacking, but the vendor is very forthcoming and eager to help beginners and make everything work as expected.
Highly recommended!
