Thanks for the follow-up! I had started working on using a C1101 for this, but ended up taking apart a spare remote and wiring the buttons up to an ESP8266 as i needed it up an running on a shorter timeframe and I was having issues getting that other library to import properly. I did plan on going back and revisiting the C1101. Now that the ESPHome PR seems to be usable, might give that another shot. Thanks!
