What
Our HDMI switches provide only a classic infrared remote control, to interface easier with Slackomatic we replaced the infrared receiver with a few wav files and a small custom-built level shifter.
How
The cheap Sindax 5 to 1 HDMI switches we got have an IR remote control that comes with a 3.5mm audio connector to plug in a cape with a TSOP383 AX-1838HS IR receiver module.
This receiver was plugged into the audio port of a laptop and the generated audio was captured.
That gave us 5 different audio files.
The files were post-edited using Audacity and now we can simply play them and attach the audio out from the Raspberry Pi directly to the HDMI switch IR receiver port with a small piece of voltage converter logic in between.
Data
Wav files with the recorded IR commands:

Circuit
the supply voltage is actually +3.3V instead of the shown +5V.
As NPN transistors we took 2x BC547B from Metalab's fine electronic parts stock).
