Just wondering (before ordering) if the Xiaomi Mijia Universal IR Remote Controller supported by the Xiaomi Miio integration?

Link to product page:

Anyone? I have same doubt.

On the Facebook channel I was recommended a different product. However, that did not work either (for me at least). In the end, I purchased a Logitech Harmony hub on eBay for Ā£40. The other devices may be cheaper, but I have two other Logitech Harmony hubs and they work flawlessly.

Can confirm that the Xiaomi Mijia Universal IR Remote works - better late than never.

Iā€™m having trouble getting it to send any commands - i have the token correct as I can turn the status LED on/off but the send_command seems to not do anything - the IR leds donā€™t light up at all (as viewed through a camera)

Was there any trick?

how does your ir command look like - perhaps you got something wrong there mine are working great

looks like:

  - platform: xiaomi_miio
    host: "supersecretip"
    token: "supersecrecttoken"
    commands:
      #### Samsung Remote
      power:
        command:
          - raw:Z6VDABYCAABSAgAAegYAAKIRAADmEQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA0ISEhAQEBAQEhISEBAQEBAQEhAQEBAQEBIQEhISEhISEB

Finally worked it out. I had to use the commands from the REMOTE_LEARN_COMMAND. Trying to even just copy and paste your example base64 command didnā€™t get the IR lights to flash at all. Very weird how it seems to have itā€™s own format
