An open source universal remote that can control anything.
For your TV, Sonos, Zigbee lights, and Home Assistant. No touchscreen, no apps, no daily charging.

What homeThing C6 does

  • Runs your TV. It learns the IR codes from the remote you already have. Then the wheel and pad drive the TV.
  • Switches the lights. A button talks straight to Zigbee lights and groups.
  • Any button, any device. Each button can drive something different, for example a gas fireplace over Zigbee.
  • Sleeps on its own. It sleeps between presses, with a target of about a month per charge.
  • No hub needed. Presses go straight to your Zigbee lights and IR devices. They work without Wi-Fi, Home Assistant, or Zigbee2MQTT.
  • No flashing needed. Set every button from the remote’s own web page, in any browser. You do not edit YAML or rebuild the firmware.
  • Bluetooth keys too. Pair it like a Bluetooth keyboard or gamepad, and send media keys to a computer, phone, or tablet.
  • Open source, all of it. The board, the case, and the ESPHome firmware are in this repository.
