Does anyone know if there's an IR/RF dimmer available in any of the Chinese online stores (AliExpress and the likes)? (sh.itjust.works)

A simple thing like this, but premanufactured. I scoured the internet trying to find one (at a reasonable price) and there is nothing. I would make one myself, but I just don't have the time currently to do that.

I need it for a mains fan control. Doesn't have to be fancy (all of the ones I encoutered were very fancy, with touch sliders and whatnot), 5 steps is enough, on/off control as well as speed control through the remote. Nothing fancy, as I said, 5 steps is more than enough. So, basically, just 3 buttons on the remote: on/off, + and - is all I need.

Also, I don't need smart/phone/app solutions, I would like it to just have a remote, that's it.

Might be cheap for western salaries, I make about 10K euros a year 🤷.

I can mod the controller to not catch fire... I just need a PCB anyway, I don't need the case.
