the LinknLink eRemote HA?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The eRemote HA is a <strong>IR transmitter (blaster)<\/strong>which imitates the signals from your conventional remote control and integrates it into the smart home via Wi-Fi. It can save commands, transmit them to Home Assistant and be used from there in automations or scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The most important functions at a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\ud83d\udcfa <strong>Appliance IR Control<\/strong>: Compatible with more than <strong>500,000+ device models and 2,000+ brands<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83d\udd04 <strong>Cloud updates &amp; custom learning<\/strong>New devices are added via the cloud. You can simply teach in unknown devices manually.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83c\udf10 <strong>IR2MQTT bridge<\/strong>: Connects classic IR devices with Home Assistant and enables <strong>local automation<\/strong> - without any cloud constraints.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83d\udcf1 <strong>App control:<\/strong> You can use the LinknLink app to send IR commands, create scenes and operate devices directly from your smartphone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83d\udd04 <strong>Teaching commands:<\/strong> If your device is not preconfigured in the app, you can teach in buttons from your original remote control.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83c\udf10 <strong>MQTT interface:<\/strong> Thanks to MQTT, the eRemote HA can be integrated directly into <strong>Home Assistant<\/strong> integrate. This opens up the world of automation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83e\udde9 <strong>Integration into smart home platforms:<\/strong> You can also control devices with Alexa, Google Assistant or Apple HomeKit via Home Assistant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83d\udce1 <strong>360\u00b0 IR coverage:<\/strong> The device sends signals in all directions - so you don't have to aim perfectly like with a normal remote control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-warum-mqtt-bzw-ir2mqtt-gut-ist\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Warum_MQTT_bzw_IR2MQTT_gut_ist\"><\/span>Why MQTT or IR2MQTT is good<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many IR blasters rely on a <strong>Cloud connection<\/strong>. This means that every keystroke first goes through the manufacturer's servers and from there back to your device. This has two disadvantages: It's slower, and you're dependent on the stability of the manufacturer's cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>LinknLink eRemote HA<\/strong> goes with <strong>IR2MQTT<\/strong> another way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\ud83c\udfe0 <strong>Local control<\/strong>All commands run directly via your own Wi-Fi and the MQTT broker in Home Assistant. No cloud, no detours, no dependencies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u26a1 <strong>Speed<\/strong>The response time is practically instantaneous because no servers abroad are involved. A command in Home Assistant is executed without delay.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83d\udd12 <strong>Privacy<\/strong>Your usage data remains in your home network. Nothing is sent to external providers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83d\udd27 <strong>Flexibility<\/strong>MQTT allows you to name and structure commands exactly as you want. This allows you to build a very clean, individual control system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83d\udd04 <strong>Expandability<\/strong>With IR2MQTT, you can seamlessly integrate devices into complex automations - whether in scenes, scripts or sequences with other smart home devices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short: <strong>IR2MQTT turns the LinknLink eRemote HA into a fully-fledged smart home device<\/strong>that is fully integrated into your local ecosystem - independent of cloud services. For power users, this is a decisive advantage over many other IR blasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"atkp-container atkp-grid_3_columns-box  atkp-template-grid_3_columns\">\n            <div class=\"atkp-clearfix atkp-box-3-cols\">\n                            <div class=\"atkp-box atkp-smallbox atkp-box-3-cols-item atkp-clearfix\">\n                    <div class=\"atkp-thumb\">\n                                                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"atkp-image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/3102AaOdSpL._SL160_.jpg\"\n                                 alt=\"LinknLink eRemote HA Universal infrared smart remote control with Wi-Fi, IR blaster for TV, air conditioning, receiver, IR2MQTT Home Assistant, compatible with Alexa &amp; Google Home\"\/>\n                                            <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"atkp-content\">\n                                                    <a class=\"atkp-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/dp\/B0F18PN651?tag=sasbro0a-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Buy now at Amazon\">LinknLink eRemote HA Universal infrared smart remote control with Wi-Fi, IR blaster for TV, air conditioning, receiver, IR2MQTT Home Assistant, compatible with Alexa &amp; Google Home*<\/a>\n                                                <div class=\"atkp-author\">by LinknLink<\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"atkp-bottom\">\n                        <div class=\"atkp-ratingbar\">\n                                                            <div class=\"atkp-rating\"><span class=\"atkp-star atkp-star-0 atkp-star-00\" title=\"0.00 of 5 stars\"><\/span><\/div>\n                                                        <div class=\"atkp-primelogo\"><\/div>\n                            <div class=\"atkp-clearfix\"><\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                                    <span class=\"atkp-price atkp-saleprice\">\n                                Price: \u20ac 25.19\n                                                                    <span class=\"atkp_price atkp-baseprice\"><\/span>\n                                                            <\/span>\n                                                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/dp\/B0F18PN651?tag=sasbro0a-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Buy now at Amazon\" class=\"atkp-button\">Buy now on Amazon*<\/a>\n                        \n                        \n                                                    <span class=\"atkp-priceinfo\">Price incl.

It looks a bit old-fashioned, is confusing and not as intuitive as one would wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc49 <strong>The device itself<\/strong>The blaster works absolutely flawlessly. Commands are recognized and sent immediately. Once programmed, it works reliably and without delay - exactly as you would expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc49 <strong>Price-performance<\/strong>: For around <strong>20-25 \u20ac<\/strong> you get a device that brings your old devices into the smart home. Given the features and the Home Assistant integration, I think it's a real bargain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fazit\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fazit\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>LinknLink eRemote HA<\/strong> is an inconspicuous but extremely useful gadget. It makes your classic infrared devices smart, integrates them directly into Home Assistant thanks to MQTT and opens up countless automation options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether TV, receiver or air conditioning unit - you can use it to bring everything that is controlled with an IR remote control into your smart home. This saves you having to buy new hardware, keeps your favorite devices and expands your smart home cleverly and cost-effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc49 If you want to take your smart home to the next level, the eRemote HA is a clear recommendation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nutzliche_Links_auf_einen_Blick\"><\/span>Useful links at a glance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.home-assistant.io\/\">Home Assistant website<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mqtt.org\/\">MQTT basics<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mosquitto.org\/\">Mosquitto MQTT Broker<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linknlink.com\/\">Manufacturer page LinknLink<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"jp-block-themeisle-blocks-font-awesome-icons-8c6d8bc1\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-font-awesome-icons jp-block-themeisle-blocks-font-awesome-icons\"><span class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-font-awesome-icons-container\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sascha-brockel.de\/en\/#contact\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i class=\"fas fa-business-time\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"jp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-baa7fa4c\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading jp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-baa7fa4c jp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading ticss-116fe371\">Interested, but lack time or knowledge?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"jp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-16f35f43\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading jp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-16f35f43 jp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading ticss-0e2b851d\">No problem.
