Infrared support #33

Is it possible to support infrared via Switchbot hub? Thanks.

devWaves commented 3 years ago

probably not. Switchbot also hasn't released any documentation for local communication with the Switchbot hub. It all uses their API through cloud

This only works for Bluetooth BLE switchbot devices. My guess is the hub only uses WIFI? not sure, I don't own one

I personally use a Broadlink RM Pro+ for IR and RF and it has been flawless once I enabled local control for it. I know that doesn't help though if you already have the Switchbot hub

Maybe you can edit the code to subscribe to a topic and then redirect the payload to a IR led soldered onto the ESP32 to be BLE bridge and IR blaster at same time
