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

So, HA translates google’s home heatcool keyword to auto and also google home does not allow to set the temperature in heatcool mode.

`hass_to_google = {
    climate.STATE_HEAT: 'heat',
    climate.STATE_COOL: 'cool',
    STATE_OFF: 'off',
    climate.STATE_AUTO: 'heatcool',
    climate.STATE_FAN_ONLY: 'fan-only',
    climate.STATE_DRY: 'dry',
    climate.STATE_ECO: 'eco'
}`

I’ve updated the first post with instructions on how to setup the component. I’m not a native English speaker, so please excuse any mistakes.

aidbish · February 22, 2019, 9:51am

Instructions are perfect mate

This component really needs to be integrated into the official HA branch. I don’t see any reason not to. I mean, yeah, it doesn’t have the IR codes for every a/c, but hey, HA itself is in beta right now, isn’t it?))

Today, after finish my work. Like for this component I was code this tool.

That support for create Climate code faster. I will update it …

Vassilis · February 22, 2019, 1:30pm

AMAZING!!! This is a lot better than the tool I’m developing. Going to be the official file creator.

Hi after I have updated my climate component I cannot see in Google home actual temperature at home because I have a xiaomi sensor temperature and humidity. Why? With old component I see temperature in Google home can you help me?

forums2012 · February 22, 2019, 2:46pm

Sorry for the dumb question. But what advantages does this have over the previous one?

Was working fine for my needs, so just wanted to know what I am getting into.

Vassilis · February 22, 2019, 4:25pm

Did you try to resync?

aidbish · February 22, 2019, 11:44pm

the old component could potentially stop working with a future HA update as its now obsolete

gbboy · February 23, 2019, 5:07am

Thanks for the native implementation of the humidity sensor instead of my hack job on the old component , new version working great

jrhbcn · February 23, 2019, 7:57am

Thanks again @Vassilis for a very nice job. Converted my ini file with the provided converter (I submitted it) and everything worked perfectly at first try.

As a side comment, do you also plan to update the fan component? I find it quite usefull as well to control my living room fan and I don’t know if I just have to rename the files as home assistant log suggests or wait for it to be updated like this one.

Regards,

Nice job! This is an amazing component and works really well. Thank you!

cryptelli · February 23, 2019, 12:05pm

Nice work, solid component. Migration went smoothly and thank you for converting previously submitted INI files!

Vassilis · February 23, 2019, 2:30pm

There is a high probability to update the fan component until HA stops supporting the old folder structure.

tjedrak · February 23, 2019, 10:43pm

Can someone please convert for me my INI files. I have Mac OS so tool won’t work.

@tjedrak your climate json here. https://jsonblob.com/42c8979f-37d3-11e9-8243-d715552ffcdc
but apple tv convert error. you can hard copy it with text editor.

I’ve just rebooted my HA and I now have this error. Not sure what, but line 28 does look odd to me…

Hi @Vassilis great work here!

A while ago I forked your original broadlink IR component and made a Harmony Hub version.

I am thinking about working on a PR to integrate harmony hub compatibility with this smart IR platform. Most the code additions would be in the send_command() function.

To do this seamlessly and with minimal effort for end user to configure, I’m thinking I will need to create a ini specific for harmony, then in the config the user would just need to put that ini code in device_code and for controller_send_service they can use remote.send_command.

For the ini, I am thinking it could be something like this
What do you think?

Also is there some numbering pattern with your ini filenaming?

cjsimmons · February 24, 2019, 5:05am

I fixed my problem to my post above. I removed line 28 as it looks like it shouldn’t be there. I compared it to previous version on GitHub (which this line is also there).

I’ve just rebooted and I have my 2 A/C’s back and working again.
