The owner didn't write this. This repo never submitted itself. The Cap'm found it on a truffle trawl and wrote its paperwork from what GitHub already shows. Picked by hand by the Cap'm on 2026-10-09: Send Bang & Olufsen Beo4 IR commands from Home Assistant.; its own README says "This integration is vibe-coded, using the official LG Infrared integration as inspiration: infrared Requirements - Home Assistant 2026". 1 stars; MIT license. The owner did not submit this. Votes count; awards don't until the owner claims it.

I'm not calling your project slop! Geeze, it's a joke... Do you own this repo?

Log in with GitHub as cklit. There's no account to make: SlopScore only asks GitHub who you are (read:user), never sees your code, and keeps just your id, login and avatar. Then you can:

  • Keep it, on your terms. Commit your own slopscore.md (spec) and press Refresh. Your paperwork replaces the Cap'm's, and you can submit it for Slop of the Day.
  • Take it down. One click on Remove. It stays gone; the trawl never brings it back.

The Cap'm's log

The Cap'm wrote this paperwork, not the owner. This repo never submitted itself to SlopScore. The Cap'm picked it by hand: Send Bang & Olufsen Beo4 IR commands from Home Assistant.; its own README says "This integration is vibe-coded, using the official LG Infrared integration as inspiration: infrared Requirements - Home Assistant 2026". It carries the MIT license. The disclosures above are his best guess from what GitHub shows.

Beo4 Infrared for Home Assistant

Sends Bang & Olufsen Beo4 IR commands through Home Assistant's infrared platform. Any emitter on that platform works as long as it can produce a 455 kHz carrier. This integration is vibe-coded, using the official LG Infrared integration as inspiration: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/tree/dev/homeassistant/components/lg_infrared

The Beo4 device in Home Assistant, with its buttons listed under Controls

Requirements

  • Home Assistant 2026.9 or later
  • An infrared emitter entity, for example ESPHome ir_rf_proxy on an ESP32.

Compatible devices

Tested and working:

Most other IR proxies should work too. Beo4 uses a 455 kHz carrier, which manufacturers rarely mention (the IoTorero doesn't either), so there's no way to know for sure without trying. ESP32-based devices running ESPHome improve the chances, since the ESP32's RMT peripheral can generate 455 kHz, but it still depends on the rest of the device's hardware.

Got it working with another device? Feel free to report back by opening an issue (https://github.com/cklit/ha-beo4-infrared/issues), and it will be added to the list.

ESPHome configuration

Note! The configuration below is only necessary if you're building your own IR transmitter. The IoTorero device mentioned above works out of the box with this integration.

remote_transmitter:
  id: ir_tx
  pin: GPIOXX
  carrier_duty_percent: 50%

infrared:
  - platform: ir_rf_proxy
    name: IR Transmitter
    remote_transmitter_id: ir_tx

The carrier frequency is sent with each command, so the transmitter doesn't need any 455 kHz setting and can still be used for 38 kHz devices.

Installation

HACS → three-dot menu → Custom repositories → add this repository (https://github.com/cklit/ha-beo4-infrared) as type Integration. Install, restart, then add Beo4 Infrared under Settings → Devices & services and pick the emitter.

Entities

Mode select (Audio / Video). Decides which link the non-source keys go to. Restored after a restart. Changing it sends nothing.

Source buttons always go to their own link and switch the mode, like on a real Beo4:

Button Link Command
TV Video 0x00 0x80
DVD Video 0x00 0x86
DTV (formerly Sat) Video 0x00 0x8A
V.Aux2 Video 0x00 0x8D
Camera Video 0x00 0x87
PC Video 0x00 0x8B
V.Mem Video 0x00 0x85
Radio Audio 0x01 0x81
CD Audio 0x01 0x92
A.Mem Audio 0x01 0x91
A.Aux Audio 0x01 0x83
N.Radio (Phono) Audio 0x01 0x93
N.Music (A.Tape2) Audio 0x01 0x94

Other buttons go to the current mode's link:

Button Command
Standby 0x0C
Mute 0x0D
Vol + / Vol - 0x60 / 0x64
Go / Stop 0x35 / 0x36
Up / Down 0x1E / 0x1F
Left / Right 0x32 / 0x34
Exit 0x7F
Red / Green / Yellow / Blue 0xD9 / 0xD5 / 0xD4 / 0xD8
0–9 0x00–0x09

State is assumed. Nothing is read back from the product.

Protocol

protocol.py is a port of ESPHome's remote_base/beo4_protocol.cpp. The test suite compares its output against vectors generated by compiling and running ESPHome's encoder. All 65,536 link/command pairs were checked to match during development.

Development

pip install -r requirements_test.txt
pytest

    No vulnerable dependencies, local Home Assistant integration with no telemetry or credential requirements, clear hardware-focused purpose.

Princess, Schnitzel and Cap'm Slop read it and passed. Their reasons are on the balcony, with every other verdict.
