  # This adds a single entity for Home Assistant that has on and off
  # buttons (separate b/c of `assumed_state`). These remote codes were
  # translated from the codes on my blog post:
  # https://www.jamesbadger.ca/2016/11/10/receiving-on-433-920mhz/
  # 
  # These codes were converted by using a 433 MHz receiver module with
  # ESPHome to "capture" the ON and OFF signals from the xmas lights
  # remote control. I then compared the patterns to the ones in the blog
  # post, and found a conversion factor (~115) that also worked for the
  # other remote actions.
