IRUR: IR remote control add-on for Home Assistant

Infrared Universal Remote webUI for Tasmota ESP8266 based devices over MQTT. Provides a simple web UI to record and manage buttons for your virtual IR remote. Supports ingress and an option to show in sidebar. Comes with around 150 icons, but you can also use text or emojis.

Installation

Flash your ESP8266 board with Tasmota (tasmota-ir.bin) firmware. All the builds support common IR protocols but use tasmota-ir.bin for all available protocols provided by IRremoteESP8266 library). Install your IR emitter and receiver and configure the right pins from Tasmota configuration (irrecv and irsend respectively).
