Using 2.4GHZ remote controller for controlling RGB lights

Hello. I have ESP32 based RGB (ws2812) controller. For this project, I was initially considering using IR receiver with an IR remote to control my RGB lights, however, I come across 2.4GHZ remote controllers such as this one:

It does not come with any proper documentation so I am wondering how would one write a handler for remote such as this one?
How would it work? Could I still use WiFi webserver and 2.4GHz remote controller all at once on my ESP32?

Are there any example projects for handling such remote controller signals?

Thanks in advance!

Seeing the very deliberate lack of naming the RF protocol I find no reason to believe an ESP could directly communicate with this remote at all.

Understood. In that case, it would probably be easier to stick with IR receiver
