Hi,

what is the easiest and low cost way to have this set up?

I want a device to receive the button signals from my tv remote then output a different signal to control my speakers. I also want to enable it to press the button once and then again 2 minutes later. is this kind of programmable box a real thing?

Thanks!!

p.s. I don't want any IoT or smart assistant things if possible. I don't trust smart tech. I want something that does what I tell it and nothing else.

Any cheap tuya remote, install esphome on it, set automation to control speakers on ir signal received from tv remote button, then just set an interval.
