This doesn't answer your question but I've been reliably using 433Mhz rf outlets[0] with homebridge and now with homeassistant with millisecond response times using Siri or browser at almost 100% success rate for years. I'm using twelve of them, and adding another is just adding one line to my config file.

- orthecreedence 8y agoThanks! I actually have these already, I didn't even think they could be automated though. What do you use as the transmitter (I'm assuming you don't have a robot arm pressing the button on the remote ;))?
- cheeko1234 8y agoA decade ago, I soldered a relay directly on the remote to achieve this. It looked terrible with wires hanging out, but it still worked reliably. Now I just use cheap rf emitters from amazon (you may have to solder an antenna to increase range). As soon as I got an AppleTV, all my switches became available outside my LAN, thanks to Apple Home without having to worry about security. https://www.amazon.com/Gowoops-433Mhz-Transmitter-Receiver-Arduino/dp/B01J7NS0C0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1535043613&sr=8-3&keywords=rf+receiver+and+transmitter+antenna https://www.amazon.com/Gowoops-433Mhz-Transmitter-Receiver-A...
