[Guide] Homatics Box R 4k Plus CoreELEC installation, configuration and modding

My IR Receiver Diode mod.

With this mod, I can use the box under CE, with IR mode, include ON/OFF the box with original remote. This mod voids the warranty, use in your own risk.

The (1). I soldered an IR diode (CHQ1838** type, but others maybe good too)
in the indicated place.

– Later, due to the better signal, I did not cut the diode’s legs on the second test, but bent them in a double L shape (4).—

Before the Diode, I thinned the material of the housing from the inside with a small ball grinder (3). Thus, even under CE, the remote control works in IR mode, there is no problem like with the Bluetooth connection, there is no need to pair.
For IR mode use this remote.conf file, place your root of CE pendrive, or config folder, in CE.
