Motivation & Inspiration

Motivation

This tool is a replacement for BroadlinkIRTools or broadlinkmanager-docker

The first tool BroadlinkIRTools was broken at the time of creating this, as it would attempt to use broadlink.learn via Home Assistant to learn the codes. This has been deprecated and replaced with remote.learn this broke the tool completely, sad because it did exactly what I sought out to do here along with a UI...

The second tool is great, however you must learn one code at a time, then you must manually copy them to a json file and fill out a ton more info to make it compatible with SmartIR.
