The Astrion is a handheld remote built for Home Assistant: backlit physical buttons, a small touchscreen, and an IR blaster, talking to the local instance over Wi-Fi. It gives a room a tactile controller for scenes, media, and legacy AV gear without anyone reaching for a phone.

Roles it can fill
Wi-Fi is the control path and it stays on the LAN: the remote is pointed at the Home Assistant instance by IP, with Bluetooth used only for provisioning. What the remote shows and what its buttons do is configured in Home Assistant through RosCard, Sanytron's custom integration and dashboard card set, installed from HACS rather than shipped in core. RosCard supplies purpose-built cards (TV, light, fan, scene, media player, climate, cover, switch, weather, host) sized for the 480x800 screen, and maps up to eight physical buttons per TV card, with global shortcuts everywhere else. IR is bound from codes learned through Home Assistant's Broadlink integration, using Developer Tools rather than the Broadlink app, so codes captured in that app are not readable by the remote. Firmware and RosCard versions have to match, and they update in two different places: firmware over the air from the Astrion Launcher on the remote, RosCard from HACS in Home Assistant. The remote itself runs Android on modest hardware (MT6580, 1 GB RAM). Ships with a charging dock. The integration is vendor-maintained, so its survival across Home Assistant API changes depends on Sanytron staying responsive.
Hardware availability
Sanytron sells the Astrion direct from its own store, with no dealer account required. The Home Assistant side is the RosCard custom integration, distributed through HACS and maintained by Sanytron rather than by the Home Assistant core team, so firmware and integration versions have to be kept in step.
