I'm looking at picking some of these up to place in my attic windows. The problem is that my attic isn't as comfortable to walk through so I'd like to place these in the windows with a smart switch and call it a day. The only issue is that they have am IR remote to select the different decorations it should project.

I don't want to go to the attic to select different scenes/decoration every time a season changes. Any good suggestions on how to automate this? I'm also ok with using a different product if anyone can think of a better option

Do they do on/off via the IR remote? If so, something like a BroadLink RM4 mini might be perfect. Set it up near the projectors and learn the remote commands in HA. If they do hard shutoff via a switch, a couple of smart plugs can handle that.

They do both hard switches and the IR for on/off. That part is easy. My issue is changing the scene from one holiday decoration to another. I'm wondering if I could still get the BroadLink RM4 to be able to select those scenes through remote learning? 🤔
