Well, quite new with Hass.io, in few hours I got it running on Raspi3, and I successful integrated a Shelly 2.5 via MQTT. I’m satisfied.
Now I’d like to integrate a Panamalar Smart IR, a gateway wifi to IR.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Controller-Automation-Panamalar-Compatible-Smartphones/dp/B07K8M7HR6
This device is used to emulate IR remote controllers, to control TV, AC and any device controlled by IR. It is Smart-Life compatible.
But I can’t find any information about how to integrate it in the Hass.io world, or even how to talk MQTT with it.
To be honest, I even didn’t find the producer. Maybe “Panamalar” is a rebrand of some chinese product.
Any hint about it?
Well you can add the tuya/smartlife integration into HA
that will show any lights, humidifier etc you have on the smartlife/tuya but not the IR unfortunately
i have similar at my office to control a HAIER AIR Conditioner, even the aircon doesn’t show
but it does bring all automation’s that i created in the smartlife app as scene’s
so you could trigger those in HA
so try setting up in the smartlife tuya app what you want to do
and trigger it in HA

Thank you so much. I’ll try to apply your suggestions. I’m quite a beginner with HA and so far I just succeded in installing it on RasPi3 and connect a Shelly 2.5 via MQTT. Step by step…
yes well when you are more adventurous and want to explorer and maybe take on a challenge
plenty of info on that device and others from the Tuya/smartlife
is at
Tasmota
TuyaMCU
For now small steps is good.
I resume this old topic because I didn’t find anything untill now about this panamalar ir sensor and how to integrate it into HA.
I tried to use the smartlife integration, but simply it is not present in the available devides (lights and plugs are present and usable instead).
I think that @salrandazzo put the right questions and that they are still open. @salrandazzo do you solve this problem? If yes, can you share how you solved?
Anyone else can help?
Thank you
Unfortunately no one came with a solution, and I switched on another task. The issue is still open.
