Sounds like a cool project

Can I assume from the need of a universal remote that you're constructing or already have a "smart home" system and can I also assume from the little I think I know about you, thay it is all DIY, open source and privacy respecting?
Those assumptions are all correct and spot on. :)
If I can selfhost it, I _will_ selfhost it. Have had too many issues and annoyances with cloud systems - can't trust any of them. So I minimize usages of those where possible.
Especially for my home, I do not want any company having access to my things - So, Home Assistant it is.
Nice! Do you have any good links or resources I could follow around this topic as it's something I know very little about! I've always been very against smart homes and technology for the above mentioned reasons but I haven't put in any work to investigate open DIY alternatives.
