Looking for a Thread 2.4 GHz transmitter to control a light (lemmus.org)

Hello people of Lemmy,

I have a light bar for my monitor and it has a remote that (I assume) uses a 2.4 GHz radio. Do you have any recommendations for a Thread-enabled transmitter so I can control it from HASS?

Here's someone reverse-engineering the device: https://github.com/Lexy1972/Reverse-Engineer-a-Quntis-Monitor-LED-Bar-Controller

I'd say an ESP32-C6 with an NRF24L01 and some custom code would probably work as a bridge. The ESP32-C6 (and H2) can do Thread. And the NRF24 blast out 2.4GHz signals. I have no clue how Tread and Matter work, though. If it's HASS, it's probably easier to skip all the Thread and Matter stuff and write some ESPHone component and forward it over Wifi. Basically an RF bridge. But seems like it's a major coding and soldering project.
