HassBeam

A cheap and easy to use universal remote that can be integrated into Home Assistant using ESPHome.
It allows you to replace your pile of different remote controls with one stationary device that can be controlled via Home Assistant. Of course, you can also automate the control of your IR devices.

With the new HassBeam Connect integration, configuring your system is faster and simpler than ever:

✅ Requirements

To use this project, you will need a working Home Assistant instance, as the universal remote integrates directly with it. The core of the device is an ESP micro controller, which communicates with Home Assistant via ESPHome.

In addition to the ESP, a few electronic components are required — see the Parts section for details.

Optionally, design files for a custom PCB or perfboard layout are provided, along with a 3D-printable case for the device.

🚀 Getting Started

To get started with the ESPHome Universal Remote, you will need to assemble the necessary hardware and flash the ESP32 with the appropriate configuration using ESPHome.

⚙️ Hardware Guide

The universal remote is fairly simple to build and use.
Read the Hardware Guide for instructions on what you need and how to build it.

🛠️ Setup Guide

Once your hardware is ready, read the Setup Guide to learn how to install and use the project.
