+## Using the IRrecv (IR Remote) feature
+
+If you have a variant with an IR Remote (as per the opening picture), you can use the new `rule` command to make the remote buttons change the light levels. For example, this rule allows me to turn it on and off, change the brightness, and turn it on to full white:
+
+```
+mosquitto_pub -t 'cmnd/light/rule1' -m 'on IrReceived#Data=FFF807 do power OFF endon on IrReceived#Data=FFB04F do WAKEUP endon on IrReceived#Data=FF906F do dimmer + endon on IrReceived#Data=FFB847 do dimmer - endon on IrReceived#Data=FFA857 do color #000000ff endon'
+```
+
+The hex codes for the "Data" value come from the data tag when looking at the JSON sent via MQTT. From here you can program it to do what ever you want. See here for more details: https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki/Rules
