Idea here. R_Volution seems to use Android. What about Bluetooth and if this does not work adbtv integration if you can activate developer options and switch on debugging. Warning: ADB is slow.

Thanks, Ralf. But BT is lot instable and ADB is like you said very slow. There is no advantage over IR. IR works, but it is no IP nor an integration😉.

looked at r_volution, no power API . dealbreaker imho IP Codes :
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qYRtRwmH58PKp7ym9qvJ6jDE-2Djq2AoxxwSTGmu06E/edit?usp=sharing
>>> The IP Codes for Power ON and Power OFF are currently not worning but will be added in a future firmware version.
Apologies if this has already been discussed. I received my remote this week and am just getting started setting it up. Is there any central repository for custom integrations? Similar to HACS in Home Assistant.
For a start
A bit more on discord.

Awesome! Thank you!!
@kennymc.c keep a repo with most integrations. kennymc-c's list / UC Remote Integrations · GitHub

@M.a.S.e Thanks for looking into R_Volution. I know about no API for Power Command. For this command IR could be used. All other should work via IP…

Any R_Volution users who want to help debug/test a potential new integration? if so, please DM me or better yet, find me on Discord
R_Volution integration is done: R_Volution Integration

What other cool integrations people want/need that can expend this remote capabilities?
How about tp-link devices? TP-Link Smart Home - Home Assistant I can help test the P100 and P110 smart plugs however I don’t have any of the other tp-link smart devices. With Home Assistant I use the P110 to monitor the current on appliances and send me notifications when certain current criteria are met. So if the current drops right down on a dehumidifier I get a notification to check it, which either mean it’s full or the timer has run out. For simpler things I just use the P100 to switch on things like subwoofers when I need them for an activity.
interesting, cool idea.
Question: other then the obvious that not all uses Home Assistant, what’s the benefit of integrations i’ve built so far that are also offered via Home Assistant?
For me the obvious is that not all uses Home Assistant, but also directly on the remote is one less layer for network potential latency, what other benefits are that folks request directly on remote isntead of HA?
i do not have any TPLINK devices, so definitely will need help testing/debugging if/when ill take that on. need to also check TPLINK API as they have MANY devices, need to see how robust this can be.
Yeah, from my perspective it’s having one less layer of complexity so for simple things like switching on and off a plug it would be good to be able to do that directly from the remote whilst still using HA for the more complex automations.
I have a TP-Link smart power strip if that helps. I’m happy to test with that.
Another potential integration could be with Tuya devices which seem quite widespread.
Unfortunately(!) I’ve still got a few of those as well. Happy to test.
i hate Tuya with a passion LOL. I do use Toya Devices but Hate Tuya as a whole… lol… i’ll explore.. good ideas…

This forum REALLY need an LOL emoji quick reply 
Another integration that would be popular with Europeans is the LG Horizon Settop box. See here: Sholofly/lghorizon: Custom integration to control LG Horizon settop boxes for Ziggo(NL), Magenta(AT), UPC(CH), Virgin(GB, IE), Telenet(BE). I’ve got a Virgin Media box so I can help test that one. I’ve seen a few other mentions of the box on Discord so there are probably other testers available in the other countries.
