  1. Hi, nice project, can you share the links where we can find the parts? or the candles?

    Thanks for sharing!

    • Hi Diego,

      so sorry – just saw your comment. Somehow I got no email notification for this one.

      Very happy that you like the project 🙂

      So the candles I got from Amazon: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0C4XZVY2D/

      Also, the D1 mini ESP8266 and the IR receiver and transmitter can be found on Amazon or any other electronics shop.

      Hope this helps?

      Best regards
      The Smart Home Maker
