I renamed topic to M5Atom lite as I experienced this with the lite. But looking at the comments, I think it's the same for the M5Atom

@veryalien you don't have to modify, you can just open up the case and try without the case.

@atomesi pls check the specs. As far as I remember Atom has only IR TX, not RX.
I'm using a fork of IR-Remote. Fork gives the ESP32 support. I've been using this fork with M5StickC and now with M5Atom for Alexa & IR (TV) integration, With the case modification, it works fine again.

Hi,
Just wanted to ask if anyone out there using the IR with M5Atom . I was already using stickC for the same functionality so Atom was a replacement. But quickly realised that the IR range is very very short (needs to be <1 cm to the receiver) compared to stickC. I also realised that the IR works pretty well without the plastic case. So I had to carve a window on top if the IR chip to extend the range.
Did anyone have same experience? Is it the way case is designed or was there a problem with my unit?

Thanks

Then which one would work for me?

Hi,
I want to control the common 433 Mhz RF electric plugs with m5stack (like the examples here). Can I do it with the Lora module or is Lora a different communication than the RF?

Getting following error when I try to run the Macos x version of M5 burner. Any idea?
