Has anyone managed to integrate (cheapish) combined IR/RF controllers into Loxone?

We have several things at home which use either IR or RF remote controls and which can't be even just switched on/off using a smart plug so I'm hoping to use a single unit per room to provide the remote functions, controllable from Loxone with virtual outputs, not wired, so probably something that hooks onto my WiFi network.

I know I could use the IR Control Air but that gets expensive per room and doesn't cover RF stuff.

To make it as flexible as possible it needs to be able to learn remote codes from the existing remotes rather than be pre-coded with "standard" branded signals.

There seem to be a number of tuya type units advertised but I'm not convinced they could work without an additional hub as they all seem to be aimed at the Alexa/Google voice control market.

I'm just exploring the same thing. I'm waiting for cheap WiFi aliexpress devices to arrive. They need to be flashed to OpenBeken firmware which make them MQTT enabled. As I have MQTT already integrated (using LoxBerry), that should be it. I already tried IRC-03 device but the revision of it got changed recently and the device I got was no longer that easy (software only) to flash. Let's see how S18 goes once it arrives
