For this new post we will make it compatible with OpenMQTTGateway ; the BAKEEY IR remote on banggood or AVATTO S06 on Aliexpress (the links are affiliated). Note that this article apply only to the non tuya compatible S06 models. The newest models, marked as tuya compatible are not based on ESP so not compatible with OMG. From this discussion on Home Assistant forum, I have deducted that the AVATTO gateways may be uploaded with new firmware, so I bought 2 of them. Thanks to their pinout information I was able to quickly get this device up and running with OMG. Overview The S06 is a compact IR bridge with FCC, CE, and RoHS marks,you can find it for less than 15$. Here are some photos: Disassembly It is not so easy to open, you will need a thin plate, insert it on the junction between the two box parts and do a lever effect at several locations. We can see inside that the microcontroller is a TYWE3S, the FCC datasheet   gives us plenty of information: ESP8266 1mb flash 50K RAM So we...

Following discussions on the home assistant forum people gave me the idea to add Infrared communication to the 433mhz gateway.  The goal is to act as a gateway between 433Mhz sensors, infrared remote controls and a MQTT broker or between the MQTT broker and 433Mhz actuators, infrared devices, It enables to: receive MQTT data from a topic and send RF 433Mhz signal corresponding to the received MQTT data  publish MQTT data to a different topic related to received 433Mhz signal  receive MQTT data from a topic and send infrared signal corresponding to the received MQTT data  publish MQTT data to a different topic related to received infrared signal  It can be an interesting part in an home automation system so as to interface sensors and actuators (wall sockets), your tv, home cinema, hifi ... with software like  openhab  or home assistant . List of compatible RF sensors here [EDIT] all infos are now centralized into the github repository  ...
