SmartIR - Control your Climate, TV and Fan devices via IR/RF controllers

snapplecap · June 7, 2019, 10:07am

Has anyone converted integrated broadlink cloud with smartIR?

The codes for my A/C are available from broadlink cloud, and I downloaded them by following these instructions: https://github.com/mjg59/python-broadlink/issues/74#issue-211230377

I have zero experience with IR codes and have been digging for hours on how to integrate this with SmartIR. Any help would really be appreciated.

My A/C manufacturer is Carrier.
The Broadlink cloud remote number is 1200 (printed on the top right of the iOS app). It can be downloaded from http://cloud.broadlink.com.cn/irda_code/1200.gz
The SmartIR remote code for Carrier A/Cs (1160) does not work.
The SmartIR remote code 1200 does not work either.

Is it possible to convert the broadlink cloud .gz file into something SmartIR can use?
Thank you for your help.

pretty cool, can you explain how to achieve that? I mean I have to expose your smatir climate panel to google assistant?

Other small issue, I have a switch sonoff pow connected to the AC power plug, and I made a binary_sensor for its on/off status, is this a correct way to use the power_sensor ?

I put the below

power_sensor: binary_sensor.ac_power

but turning On or OFF the power plug (binary_sensor.ac_power ON/OFF) does not reflect any changes in the climate.air_panel

@thundergreen
Please check your controller_data:
It should be like
controller_data: your_irblaster_ip.

ref:

github.com

smartHomeHub/SmartIR/blob/master/docs/CLIMATE.md

<p align="center">
  <a href="#"><img src="assets/smartir_climate.png" width="350" alt="SmartIR Climate"></a>
</p>

For this platform to work, we need a .json file containing all the necessary IR commands.
Find your device's brand code [here](CLIMATE.md#available-codes-for-climate-devices) and add the number in the `device_code` field. If your device is not working, you will need to learn your own codes and place the Json file in `smartir/codes/climate` subfolders. [Keite Trần](https://github.com/keitetran/BroadlinkIRTools) developed [an amazing web-based app](https://keitetran.github.io/BroadlinkIRTools/) for this job.
_Please note that the device_code field only accepts positive numbers. The .json extension is not required._

## Configuration variables:
**name** (Optional): The name of the device<br />
**unique_id** (Optional): An ID that uniquely identifies this device. If two devices have the same unique ID, Home Assistant will raise an exception.<br />
**device_code** (Required): .... (Accepts only positive numbers)<br />
**controller_data** (Required): The data required for the controller to function. Enter the IP address of the Broadlink device **(must be an already configured device)**, or the entity id of the Xiaomi IR controller, or the MQTT topic on which to send commands.<br />
**temperature_sensor** (Optional): *entity_id* for a temperature sensor<br />
**humidity_sensor** (Optional): *entity_id* for a humidity sensor<br />
**power_sensor** (Optional): *entity_id* for a sensor that monitors whether your device is actually On or Off. This may be a power monitor sensor. (Accepts only on/off states)<br />

## Example (using broadlink controller):
```yaml
smartir:

My entity for controller data is remote.remote_bedroom. So no IP… I renamed it. This remote works with smartir mediaplayer but not ac

see my media player config:

  - platform: smartir
    name: Living room TV
    device_code: 1040
    controller_data: remote.remote_living_room
    power_sensor: binary_sensor.tv_state

It just won’t work wit AC platform

controller_data: 192.168.1.___
What is the local up on which your Xiaomi it blaster is connected

Vassilis · June 11, 2019, 7:31am

You should have errors in logs. Please restart your HA and post your full logs on GitHub

thundergreen · June 11, 2019, 7:31am

But i don’t have any entity_id with ip as I renamed it. do ihave to put the remote.entity_name or the IP ? Not clear because for the media player it works with my remote.entity_name

thundergreen · June 11, 2019, 7:32am

What’s would be the logger setting for this component to enable debug?

Vassilis · June 11, 2019, 7:44am

Don’t enable deeper logging settings. Just send your full logs

Please help thanks

Was anything changed in the last release that might affect Google Assistant?

Sometime around both the update for SmartIR and the latest update for HA, my Google Assistant can still change temp/turn on/off, but instead of saying it changed xxx, it comes back and says ‘Sorry I cant control your air conditioner’. Despite it saying this, it still does whatever you asked it to do.

kirpat · June 14, 2019, 6:04am

Dear,
If you are back,
than this is just a reminder request to please provide me IRcodes for Onkyo
Thanks

sparkydave · June 14, 2019, 6:06am
