Modded Edifier R1280T to change volume with Samsung or any other remote. I used an esp8266 which reads the IR command, and communicates with the onboard amplifier (TAS5713) through I2C in order to change the volume. There is a black tinted OLED in front of the speaker that lights up when volume changes. The ESP is also connected to home assistant through mqtt so it can generate other commands from IR remote button presses. Source code available as a platformio project, and 3D printed parts in .3mf format.
