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

No prob dear,
Thanks for providing your time.

@sparkydave I have the remotes but trying to save time. Isnā€™t there some database online for these remote codes?

Google is your friend here.

ā€¦but if you canā€™t find your codes on there then your best bet is to learn them with HA.

I have installed SmartIR 2 days ago, working as a charm in Home Assistant with my Panasonic AC.
Butā€¦ when I exposed entity to Alexa, in Alexa app I am getting error ā€œthere was a problemā€ and when I issue a command in Alexa I get response ā€œAC is not respondingā€
Anyone else had this issue?

And yes, I did manage to get it work. For some reason after I have added sensors for temperature and humidity (both of which are stated as optional) everything started to work in Alexa.

Hello ā€¦ can i have some help please ā€¦ i donā€™t understand the reason why it doenā€™t work ā€¦ perhaps itā€™s because iā€™ve Netatmo climate composent ???

This is my config :

#Climate

smartir:
        
switch:
  - platform: broadlink
    host: 192.168.0.70
    mac: 'C8:F7:42:XX:YY:ZZ'

netatmo:
  api_key: ../..APIKEY../..
  secret_key: ../..SECRETKEY../..
  username: ../..USERNAME../..
 password: ../..PASSWORD../..
  discovery: false

climate:
  - platform: netatmo
    homes:
    - name: Home

  - platform: smartir
    name: "Climatisation"
    unique_id: broadlink_clim
    device_code: 1280
    controller_data: 192.168.0.70
    temperature_sensor: sensor.temperature
    humidity_sensor: sensor.humidity
    power_sensor: binary_sensor.ac_power

Do you see error ?

Iā€™ve got an ā€œInvalid Configā€ to smartir ā€¦ Netatmo is ok

Thanks !

Edit : iā€™m stupid sorry ā€¦ i forgot to place custom_components folder ā€¦ :persevere:

@Vassilis Will the below PR have any impact on this climate component

Hi all, installed smartir with broadlink rm mini and its working good.
I created a new json file for my A/C because it does not exist.
the problem that I have is a logical one.
my A/C remote works in a way that the on/off switch is basically the same. its really depends on the state of the A/C, if itā€™s on then pressing the on/off will turn it off and if the A/C is off then pressing the on/off switch will turn it on.
when I created the JSON, I created the off sequence and then turned the A/C on and just changed the values to record every change in temp or fan.
as I understand the sequence: cool->fan->18 should turn on the A/C with these stats. in my case it will not turn it on because it just pressing on the temp change on the remote and not turning on the A/C.
the other option that I have it to record from the remote each sequence as turning on sequence on the remote for each of them, that means I will record the on/off sequence for each mode->fan mode-> degree sequence.
the problem with this scenario is that if the A/C is on, and then I just want to change the temp, it will actually turn off the A/C :frowning:
any ideas on how to avoid this logical problem?

p.s how do I call in automation for a specific sequence like if its 28 degrees outside turn on the A/C with cool->fan mode auto->18 ?

done

i am trying to configure smartir for the first time and i am not able to start it

after doing the initial configurations i am getting error

Configuration invalid
Platform not found: media_player.smartir

what to do ?

Dear is it possible to get codes this sunday

bump this.
any idea on how to overcome this issue?

I have pasted the codes here. You will just need to convert them using the tool that is in the SmartIR git repo. I was unsuccessful in doing this myself last time I tried so had Vassilis kindly do it for me, but that wasnā€™t for the entire remote, only the buttons I use for HA.

So just for the record, the codes linked above are for the Onkyo RC-533M remote. @Vassilis perhaps these could be added to your database on the SmartIR repo?

@spardydave
Thanks for providing me codes.
thanks once again

Can anybody take a look at my github issue and help me out? D:

@Vassilis
Great job, easy to work with. Iā€™ll say +1 to get the swing_mode.
Is it possible to change the operation_mode names etc. in the codes, to have it in my native language?

For everyone: when Iā€™m closing my terrace door, my a/c turns on, and turning off when I open the door. But I would like the automation to be conditional, to only turn it on if the A/C was on before I opened the door. How do I put that in my .yaml?

Working great!

I have a feature request, if possible: Is possible to have min_temp and max_temp? I use the component in a hostel and guests sometimes fiddle too much with the temperature, so I would like to limit the temperature settings to ex. 22 - 24 celsius. Iā€™m not a programmer, otherwise I would try to do it myself (ok, I admit - I triedā€¦ and miserably failedā€¦:slight_smile: ), so Iā€™m asking you for help.

Thank you again for the great component! I love it!

I forgot another thing - if possible, to hide HVAC mode (heat, coolā€¦ etc.). This is because if the HVAC has multiple indoor units and one outdoor unit, the system in each room can operate in only one mode, so if one guest selects heat and another cooling, then the system stops.

You are probably better customising the GUI to remove the ability to change those settings. This component really covers control of the system, not how the user interacts with it.

Providing access through an input_number (for temp, limited to only 22-24), and an automation to sync the input_select to this components functionality would do it.

@Vassilis Just testing 0.96b0 beta and the SmartIR climate component is not working, This is probably due to the Climate 1.0 changes.
