From the README
BroadSniff lets Home Assistant hear what your Broadlink universal remote hears. Turn on capture, point any IR or RF remote at your Broadlink RM, press buttons, and BroadSniff hands you each code: ready to send back, to trigger automations, or to pass to HAIR and anything else that listens on Home Assistant's infrared platform.
It is a small custom integration that works alongside Home Assistant's built-in Broadlink integration. Your remotes stay set up there; BroadSniff only adds capture.
