      all you need for that is a smartphone with an “ir blaster” and some form of universal remote app.
      i used to have a galaxy s5 that could do that.

      unfortunately ir blasters became a rarity and you’ll have to look for modern smartphones that still have them.

      i also remember keychain tools like the TV-B-Gone,
      but those can only turn tvs off

        Loved my V20 with its replaceable battery and IR blaster. I get the push towards non-replaceable batteries for design and profit reasons, but an IR blaster is just an led, no? Why remove that?
