Hello, is there a simple way to control a window A/C with an IR remote with Home-assistant? I was thinking about a BroadLink device or ESPhome but it looks difficult.
as long the button available in your remote then its programmable and you can get the code to be installed into home-assistant
hay bro
I did this (mark 1)
found this and added it
and then I rewrote some of his python script logic
change to sensor_on and sensor_off ( its clearer in my mine)
add session to it
now I have this automation that look after my gas heater
and climate looks after the room temp
- id: Climate Livingroom
alias: Climate Livingroom
trigger:
- platform: time_pattern
hours: "*"
minutes: 1
- platform: state
entity_id:
- binary_sensor.front_door
- binary_sensor.main_window
- input_boolean.livingroom_climate
condition: []
action:
- data:
entity_id: climate.gas_heater
hvac_active: heat
sensors_on: # all these must be on
- input_boolean.livingroom_climate
- binary_sensor.main_tv
sensors_off: # all these must be off
- binary_sensor.front_door
- binary_sensor.main_window
season: # must be in one of there season
- winter
- autumn
heating_from_hour: 17
heating_to_hour: 22
service: python_script.update_climate
HA now control the gas heater
I be adding more window /door sensors
Hello, was it difficult to get the BroadLink device to work with Homeassistant?
