Hello, After much searching, I finally discovered this device which suits my needs perfectly:

I don't have any integration with Tuya yet (don't really want to) but I have Thread and Zigbee radios set up - and this device has neither. What are the chances this will integrate well with HA over Wifi ? Will I have to fall back on Tuya integration ?

Wouldn't recommend that.

You are likely better off with Broadlink RM4

I have seen that come up in some threads with mixed results.. will research that specifically
Seems to only do RF433

ESPHome is giving some love to IR at the moment, there was some stuff in 2026.1 for it. so you could build something or use something like the m5stack atom-lite or atoms3-lite which have IR blaster leds. It might be a bit of extra chaos to get it working the way you need to though.

Hrrm .. I love esphome... Would prefer to use that but don't want to guess at what to order and M5Stack are more expensive to get here than I would like
Hey this seems to do RF315 (Broadlink RM MAX ): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009557918530.html but its a little pricey

you could make one with a dev bord and an IR led (and probably also a resistor) if you wanted I guess.

Would need a radio module too.. or get the esp32 with one built in I guess...

if you want the RF stuff as well as IR then yeah

Yah I actually have use cases for IR, RF315 AND RF433

It is likely that the broadlink stuff is the better option.

argh the RM MAX seems unsupported : https://github.com/orgs/home-assistant/discussions/465
Will check the RM4 Pro - I think this might have RF315
Strange - some pages say the RM4 Pro support RF315 and others only RF433

different hardware revisions maybe?

Or dependent on the country it is bought from.

Yah seems country/vendor makes a difference, seems there are 2 versions.. the last post here is helpful: https://www.facebook.com/groups/HomeAssistant/posts/3671749606429716/
