MQTT universal remote controller

Let's take a break from Energy Management and do some multimedia. This Bestjoy remote controller is can not only control different IR, BT, or RF devices but also easily integrate with Home Assistant through an M-Bridge MQTT gateway. In this video, I configure it to control my LG TV (that is natively integrated into the Home Assistant). But then, I use MQTT to control my 20 years old Denon Receiver through Home Assistant.

So this shows both the configuration of the Bestjoy remote, as well as the Home Assistant Automation.
At the end, I show how everything works seamlessly.
