In this video we take a look at the Sofabaton X1S Smart Remote control which has just been silently updated with a feature allowing it to control devices over your local network using a simple HTTP API interface! This is something I've been searching for for so long to allow me completely local control of my Home Assistant & Node-RED based smart home from physical remote controls from around the house.
