Using ESPHome IR for SkyQ
Using the ESPHome project, the Infrared plugin allows me to control my TV, Soundbox and SkyQ devices quite easily.
The Build
A simple build.. two IR transmitters and an optional IR receiver which I used to read the codes from my existing IR remote.
The ESP32 doesn't source enough current to light up the LED's to be useful, but a simple transistor driver solves that. I wont elaborate more as here is a link to a website that explains it better. Driving an IR
The diagram I used
The YAML
The IR.YAML link below contains the configuration for many of the keys.
Download the file and edit. Set your SSID and password. Customise for your GPIO input/outputs and run.
