IRremoteESP8266
Infrared remote library for ESP8266/ESP32: send and receive infrared signals with multiple protocols. Based on: https://github.com/shirriff/Arduino-IRremote/
Project mention: Ask HN: What have you built with ESPHome, ESP8266 or similar hardware | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-27Not built, but designed a widget with a rest api on a wifi endpoint on one side and an IR led on the other to automate my dumb a/c unit. There was already a library to emulate the exact IR remote control,

Apollo
Sunshine fork - The easiest way to stream with the native resolution of your client device (by ClassicOldSong)
Project mention: IronRDP: a Rust implementation of Microsoft's RDP protocol | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-03-21> in sunshine/moonlight such as you still have monitor output
Apollo[1] fixes this problem really neatly - there's a "Virtual Desktop" option that adds a virtual desktop, and you can disable all the local monitors while in this session so that a local person doesn't see your desktop while you're remoted into it (just remember to lock after you end your session!).
I believe it also preserves monitor layouts when starting/ending sessions.
I used Sunshine and had a bunch of hacks in the startup/teardown scripts to get the same behavior but it was really brittle. Apollo makes this work out of the box.
