RAV311 Remote — Home Assistant Custom Integration:

Control your Yamaha AV receiver from Home Assistant via infrared, using the native infrared building block introduced in HA 2026.4.

Compatible models (all use the RAV311 remote):

• Yamaha RX-V361
• Yamaha RX-V361BL
• Yamaha HTR-6025
• Yamaha HTR-6030
• Maybe more, you tell me!

Requirements:

• Home Assistant 2026.4 or later
• An ESPHome device configured with the IR/RF Proxy component (infrared transmitter) already added to Home Assistant

Installation via HACS:

1. In HACS, go to Integrations → Custom repositories
2. Add this repository URL and select category Integration
3. Click Download
4. Restart Home Assistant

Manual installation:

Copy the custom_components/rav311_remote/ folder into your config/custom_components/ directory, then restart Home Assistant.

Setup:

1. Go to Settings → Devices & Services → Add Integration
2. Search for RAV311 Remote
3. Select the infrared transmitter entity pointed at your receiver
4. Done — your receiver appears as a device with all entities

Entities created:

Platform	Entity	Notes
media_player	RAV311 Remote	Power, volume, mute, source select
select	Input Source	CD, DVD, Tuner, V-AUX, XM…
select	Sound Program	Straight, Enhancer, Surround Decode, Night
button	Power On / Standby
button	Mute, Sleep, Display, Return…	All remote buttons
button	Program Left/Right	DSP navigation
button	A-E/Cat, Preset Ch…	Tuner navigation

All entities use assumed state — IR is one-way, so HA tracks the last command sent.

Protocol notes

The RAV311 remote uses the Pioneer IR protocol at 40 kHz. All codes were sourced from a working ESPHome configuration and verified against the physical remote.

Minimum ESPHome hardware setup:

1. An ESP32 or ESP6266 MCU
2. An IR diode
3. A transistor
4. A power source

Minimum ESPHome config:

Here is an example of the required esphome config. Change variables to fit your needs (board type, wifi credentials, GPIO, etc)

1. You need to add the ir transmitter component, set the correct GPIO corresponding to the IR LED and give your ir transmitter an ID.
2. Then add the ir proxy transmitter compoenent, set the "remote_transmitter_id:" value so it matches the ID previously give the the ir_transmitter.
