Hello people of Lemmy,
I have a light bar for my monitor and it has a remote that (I assume) uses a 2.4 GHz radio. Do you have any recommendations for a Thread-enabled transmitter so I can control it from HASS?
It most likely uses regular old infrared
Try to use the remote from the other side of the door and it probably won’t work.
I’m completely sure it uses 2.4GHz.
What makes you think a remote uses 2.4ghz? And why would a thread enabled radio help with that?
Most remotes are either IR or 433mhz. Both have multiple options for controlling from Home Assistant.
Can you post a listing for the device you’re trying to control?
The Amazon listing shows 2.4GHz in the last image
Can you share photos of the underside of the remote and/or light where it lists either “FCC ID” or “Contains FCC ID”? I can’t find a listing on it anywhere to figure out what it does, and a LOT of those labels for radio frequency in Amazon images are straight up lies. There’s so much noise on those drop-shipped items.
I can’t find anything. I might have the manual or box somewhere.
Any Matter/Thread IR blaster should work with HA. Assuming you already have a Thread radio on your HA.
