MQTT-IR-Controller-Tasmota

Simple and Easy smart IR controller based on Tasmota via IRHVAC via SmartIR plugin

It’s been about a 2 years since i made my first MQTT IR Controller and it been working flawlessly with Home Assistant and i feel it’s about time to share this.

This conntroller is runing with Tasmota IR 8.3.1 if you want to know More about Tasmota Click Here the reason why I’m using old version of Tasmota IR that this is the one worked best for me and never had any issues with so i keeped using it.

also using the SmartIR plugin that creates the Home Assistant climate componant and publish the commands via MQTT you can find more about it in details and more about installation Click Here

SmartIR Component Config

First you will have to copy your json config to SmartIR directory and save it with name as a number Ex. 1600.json

<config directory>/
|-- custom_components/
|   |-- smartir/
|       |-- codes
|           |-- climate

you can now add your device config in climate.yaml

Example:

- platform: smartir
  name: Office A/C 
  unique_id: office_ac
  device_code: 1600 # your JSON file number
  controller_data: cmnd/studio/IRhvac # Change to match your device topic
  temperature_sensor: sensor.studio_temperature # Change to match your sensor id in Home Assistant
  humidity_sensor: sensor.studio_humidity # Change to match your sensor id in Home Assistant 
  power_sensor: binary_sensor.ac_power # you can set a binery sensor to detect the power status

I’ll be sharing more details soon with a youtube video :slight_smile:
