- rlam2x51Home Assistant* introduced support for infrared a few days ago. Not sure if it would be a good idea to stay in business for a bit longer and see if the Home Assistant community boost the sales.I am personally interested in an IR Sender to make my old Hifi Setup smarter.* https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2026/04/01/release-20264/
- aeonikWell damn, I didn't know about this until now, and I could actually use one.Is there any alternative?
- tomjugglerAwww I have one of those. It still works after more than 10 years!Maybe that's what happened, everyone who needed one bought and we don't need an upgrade
- AurornisSad to see someone’s small business close, but these products are in a difficult position of being both extremely niche and very simple. Someone went to some effort to source a nice dongle enclosure and do some printing on it, but beyond that the hardware is something that anyone with a little PCB experience could replicate it in a day. I wouldn’t be surprised if these were just sourced from a generic manufacturer in China and they asked for custom printing.If there’s demand this would be a good project for someone to make and have ready to build PCBs you could order from OSH Park or even a fully project that you could have JLC build and populate.
- buckle8017Presumably there just isn't that much use for that anymore.Most remotes seem to be RF not ir these days.
- teddyhI’m guessing that modern hardware are all controlled by privacy-invading apps, communicating via the company’s servers.
