KIRA Component - IR Remote Setup help?

Configuration
1

Hi

I have KIRA set up as a receiver and sender and I have created a list of commands in the separate Kira yaml file.

What i’m not sure how to do, is have Home Assistant send an IR command, through automation, and via buttons on the UI to send commands manually.

Hi,

Can anyone help me with the following errors…

The code used in configuration.yml is as follows.

kira: 
  sensors:
  - name: kira_sensor
    host: 192.168.1.51
    port: 65432

  remotes:
  - name: kira_remote
    host: 192.168.1.46
    port: 65432

Anyone have any ideas ?

Digging up an old thread here…
I have just started to use HA and I have added my KIRA modules to the configuration.yaml.
When restarting HA I get an error.

Logger: homeassistant.setup
Source: components/kira/init.py:119
First occurred: 11:34:00 (1 occurrences)
Last logged: 11:34:00

Error during setup of component kira
Traceback (most recent call last):

self._socket.bind((host, port))
OSError: [Errno 99] Address not available

Not understanding why this is happening as all the KIRA modules are connected.
the config yaml is,

kira:

sensors:

- name: kira_kitchen
  host: 192.168.0.70
  port: 65432

- name: kira_cinema
  host: 192.168.0.71
  port: 65432

- name: kira_living
  host: 192.168.0.72
  port: 65432

- name: kira_bedroom
  host: 192.168.0.73
  port: 65432

- name: kira_dining
  host: 192.168.0.75
  port: 65432

- name: kira_study
  host: 192.168.0.76
  port: 65432

Any help gratefully received…
