Looking for a way to program a button of a lost remote.
I ended up using a combination of IRScrutinizer (http://www.harctoolbox.org/IrScrutinizer.html) , Python-Broadlink library (https://github.com/mjg59/python-broadlink) and IRDB (https://github.com/probonopd/irdb).

There are publicly available IR databases out there.

Are there any decent local alternatives to the Harmony hub?
What about irdb? It's a very large database that's growing all the time. It's already very wide and encompasses a ton of devices. I'm sure there are other RF ones, but Harmony does fine without even supporting RF.

Is this flashable? Ordered some smart blubs with this chip inside, is it esp based? Tuya convert can't see it.
I'm wondering if it works with this https://github.com/mjg59/python-broadlink

- Broadlink RM4 Pro : Device not supported.

Trouble getting Broadlink RM4 Pro to consistently work - any tips?
Though I did notice that the "Broadlink Manager" app that some people use to get codes in bulk/more quickly wasn't working for this reason. It's a .net app so I decompiled it and added in the support for the new device, but I was receiving unexpected messages from the RM4 upon connection. It looks like the protocol changed in some way that I don't fully understand, where the header is expecting different data. I tried shoehorning that in but it didn't stop the unrecognized messages being broadcast from the broadlink, and unfortunately I don't know enough about the protocol to interpret them so I left it alone: the only things I know about it I gleaned from looking at changelists in the https://github.com/mjg59/python-broadlink library upon which the .NET version was based, in changelists that looked useful... but I think I've hit a wall there unless I take the time to actually learn more about the protocol itself and what its expecting/what these messages mean. But I digress!
