Remotes for light control

  Adaptive Lighting custom component for Home Assistant

I am running Home Assistant as the backbone for my IOT controls, and (mostly) Zwave for lights/switches. I also have a few Wifi LED strips, smartbulbs, and switches running either Tasmota, ESPHome, or WLED. Anything with CCT adjustment is automatically controlled with the Adaptive Lighting Integration, but every now and then I would like to be able to fine tune CT/color and brightness from a hardware remote. I have tried some of the Zwave remotes like this, and the Emulated Roku integration on my Logitech Harmony remotes, but they just seem a little clunky for adjusting lighting.

• esp8266_milight_hub

  13 925 4.4 C++

  Replacement for a Milight/LimitlessLED hub hosted on an ESP8266

Anyone have any suggestions? I would prefer Zwave or 433MHz RF based (I have dongles for both attached to my HA box), but open to Wifi or Zigbee for the right solution. Anything cloud based is a hard pass. Same with BT, unless there is a cheap hub, or something I can DIY. (I already have a few ESP32 BT proxies running Tasmota or ESPHome.) IR is less than ideal due to line-of-sight restrictions. I was thinking about setting up this on an ESP8266, paired with one of these Milight remotes, but before putting in an AliExpress order and waiting weeks for delivery, does anybody have any other suggestions? Would this or this work with my 433MHz SDR running RTL_433? The giant antennas were a little off-putting.
