Wish I could help you there, but I’m not using any mikrotik hardware. So no, I’ve not.

Same core and same supervisor-version, running on a dedicated RPI4 and Debian 11:
All smooth here with SmartIR v.1.17.5 without any errors. Seems to be related to running SmartIR on HA OS 7.4 or Hyper-V.
The problem is different from what @macbisho is/was experiencing on his installation though.
Yes, I misquoted in the first answer: The problem is exactly the same as what Makis experienced.
I managed to get around like this:
configuration.yaml:
smartir:
check_updates: false
Then I copied the contents to the custom_components/smartir/codes folder:
Everything seems to be fine now.
I’ll check the firewall filters.
Thank you!
The folders with the codes certainly have to go below the …/custom_components/smartir folder. Otherwise SmartIR is unable to send ir-commands based on the defined codes (1101 and 1060 in your case) to the designated devices.
If you worry about missing important updates to SmartIR why don’t you simply install this custom integration through HACS (where “check_updates” has to be set to “false”)? This way you will get informed by HACS about pending updates.

Copy contents from github to the custom_components/smartir/codes folder:
github.com/smartHomeHub/SmartIR/tree/master/codes
Also check network and ipv6 related issues.

Both have now been moved to high quality 3.1amp power supplies.
The issue persists. If I send any command, via HomeKit, Home Assistant or direct from the BroadLink app(s) you can see the device flash, but no response from AC unit.
This is after power up, and confirmed reconnection to the network.
If it didn’t work at all, I’d know it’s the code I’m using, but the fact that it does… I’m a bit bewildered.
You are sure that:
device_code: 1101
is correct for your AC models?
When the system works, it will turn it on, off, change the temperature, fan speed, and cooling / heating / fan etc.
But, I’m still not certain that it is, I’ve tried other codes and had no luck. Being in Australia, I suspect our model names of units are slightly different so identifying the right one has been trial and error.
I should note - that’s not the code for my system.
I’ve gone through every LG code I can find, sadly it didn’t work.
I have tried looking up the remote, because it seems it has been used by GE - but no joy with that either.
My remote model is AKB73215508 - searching online I’ve found that the replacement model is either AKB73315601 or AKB73456109
My BroadLink app actually took the model number of my AC units and it now works 100% with that. I wish I could export it, but I’m on iOS.
It looks like you have to “learn” the IR-codes for your specific AC units to be able to control them through the BroadLink RM3s. With Broadlink Manager (Docker) you can do this in a quite convenient way (comprehensive HA thread here).
Depending on the HA install method used you can either install it directly on your HA device or simply use another RPI. After you have learned the codes you don’t need Broadlink Manager anymore.
Hi everyone, i have a problem with SMARTIR, my log:

Anybody can help me ?
Hi. Had the same issue. Enable the remote integration:
remote:
That issue is gone. Now I get this:
not a valid value for dictionary value @ data['entity_id']
13:51:15 – (ERROR) SmartIR (custom integration) - message first occurred at 13:50:38 and shows up 2 times
(I have tried to control the climate twice)
UPDATE: Google/github showed how to fix this error.
Update the HVAC codes file. Replace Broadcom with MQTT…
"supportedController":"MQTT",
"commandsEncoding":"Raw",
Now I get invalid jason in the Tasmota console. But getting closer.

Ive setup SmartIR with a broadlink RM4 Mini, my configuration looks as follows
climate:
- platform: smartir
name: Garage AC
unique_id: garage_ac
device_code: 1382
controller_data: remote.garage_ir_remote
temperature_sensor: sensor.temperature
humidity_sensor: sensor.humidity
power_sensor: binary_sensor.ac_power
For some reason the temp value is shown on HomeAssistant in Celsius, is there any way to change that? Thanks
Edit: When I open up the lovelace Home Assistant believes its in Fahrenheit as theres an F next to the temperature value, however the value is still in Celsius, example 24°F
Edit2: Figured out the solution if anyone was wondering. Turns out the SmartIR device code placed in configuration.yaml is just preconfigured in celsius. Once that code is placed in your configuration file HA retrieves that specific json file and places it in custom_components/smartir/codes/climate/[DEVICE CODE]. Therefore, I just went into that device code .json file and converted the values. After changing that my lovelace card looks correct however I’ve yet to test how accurate the converted units are as its super late in the night.

Thanks PDJ, now I have the same problem as you.
I can see mention of a conversion tool. Cant find it anywhere! Also, is it possible to create custom devices? How would that be? Pardon me if it sounds noobish but I am indeed just a few days into HA
HI PDJ, i can fix my problem, Update the HVAC codes file. Replace o base64 codes to my raw code.
Now is work.
I updated my HVAC codes as well.
Success!
Had to do a little playing with the json to match up with the Tasmota-IR that I have.
PDJ
I manually created a new custom HVAC code file. For me, the json codes are seen in the Tasmota console when you hit buttons on the remote. My HVAC is supported in the Tasmota-IR version, so nice decoded json are seen. Tedious to work through all buttons. But working.
Is it possible to create a custom device? If yes, any guide please? For instance, for this media player (AV processor) at this link, which has all its IR codes listed.
Yes. You can create your own device file (JSON) with all the IR codes for the desired remote.
One way would be to simply start from an existing JSON file from the SmartIR repo and swap out the IR codes with the correct one for your device. You won’t be able to use what is on the link you posted as they are not the correct format but you can use HA to read the codes from your remote using the service call remote.learn_command and then pressing the button on the device remote while pointing it at the IR receiver you have integrated to HA (ie: Broadlink). The received code will be listed in a persistent notification. Copy that code into the JSON file for each button press.
