If you get SmartIR to learn all the codes from your physical remote you should be able to use SmartIR to control everything on your A/C, not just on/off. You will be able to control fan speed, temp etc.
When you configure that contact sensor as your binary sensor to tell SmartIR that the unit is on/off, SmartIR will update HA accordingly. No need for automations. That’s why the power sensor entity exists in SmartIR (your original question)
yes.
Thank you sir! Ordering 4 right now 
Am I right that there are no deadband features like this?
Basically my target temp would be say 20 degree’s but I wouldn’t want my climate controller to kick in until around 18 or 22.

Edit: I found the answer to this. No. SmartIR doesn’t implement control logic. But actually in my case I realised that because I have an invertor the unit is supposed to be on even when close to target. I think… So deadband approach isn’t so relevant.
Like to know that too. Have my lg airco with linknlink eremote is this supported?
Has anyone used a broadlink to control mitsubishi msz ga71va?
If so can ou pease share your .jason file?
I’lll be looking to add ceiling fans to mine aswell
Thank you
I somehow cant get it to work, also not with Broadlink Manager, because it expects nonexistent Buttons, i have no Idea what to do, i tried Broadlink Manager and it also expects Temperature value buttons.
Those simply don’t exist on my Remote.
My Remote has Six Buttons: Power, Speed, Mode, Timer, Temp + and Temp -
All Commands are within HA, but i have no idea how to make the AC Smart~ish
I'm running into an issue getting my Wemos D1 Mini with Lolin IR shield configured using SmartIR. Currently I'm getting the following error:
[homeassistant.helpers.service] Referenced entities esphome.livingroom_send_raw_command are missing or not currently available
Note that in my Esphome configuration, the on/off button configuration is working sending raw codes, so I'm pretty confident that most of the configuration is fine and I just need to get SmartIR correct.
Earlier I tried setting controller_data: livingroom_send_raw_command but was getting this error:

Does anyone have a tip on how to configure the JSON code file to suit a simple heater which has a basic ‘on’, ‘off’, ‘up’ and ‘down’ remote? I’ve been trawling through the example codes but not found one like that yet.
So far I’ve come up with this as a basis but haven’t tested it yet.

Hello everyone,
I’m using SmartIR with a Broadlink RM4C Mini to control a Mitsubishi Heavy air conditioner (device code: 1680).
The integration is working correctly for the main functions:
HVAC modes: off, cool, heat, dry
Fan modes: low, med, high, auto
Temperature control: 18–30°C
IR commands are being sent successfully via Broadlink
However, I have an issue regarding airflow direction (swing / louver control):
Although the IR configuration (1680.json) appears to include airflow/swing-related commands, I cannot see or control swing/airflow direction from the Home Assistant UI. In the climate.ac entity state, I do not see any swing_mode or airflow direction attribute exposed. Only fan modes are available.
States:
hvac_modes: off, cool, heat, dry
min_temp: 18
max_temp: 30
target_temp_step: 1
fan_modes: low, med, high, auto
current_temperature: null
temperature: 18
fan_mode: low
last_on_operation: cool
device_code: 1680
manufacturer: Mitsubishi Heavy
supported_models: SRK25ZJ-S1, SRK13CRV-S1
supported_controller: Broadlink
commands_encoding: Base64
friendly_name: AC
supported_features: 393
But there is no option in UI or entity attributes for: swing mode for ex.
Replying to myself because no answer was given.
My example above didn't work and I've had to resort to not using SmartIR for this gas heater.
Hi everyone,
I built a static web browser to browse the SmartIR community IR codes catalog without having to dig through GitHub manually.
What it does:
Demo: HA IR Codes Browser — SmartIR catalog for Home Assistant
Spanish: HA IR Codes Browser — SmartIR catalog for Home Assistant
Source (MIT): GitHub - ldelvalleh/SMARTIR-HAIR-CONVERSOR: Static browser for SmartIR community IR codes (Home Assistant) · GitHub
Each model’s JSON is loaded live from the smartHomeHub/SmartIR repo on GitHub. No backend or database.
Note: not affiliated with the SmartIR project. Data comes from the community catalog; the tool is called “HA IR Codes Browser”.
If you find it useful or see something to improve, feedback is welcome.
Is this project dead, or are there still help to find?
I have a Delonghi Pinguino PAC EX93, a nice little unit with an IR remote.
The IR blaster is a Broadlink RM4 pro.
I have learned the basic commands to the system, and with those the RM4 can control the AC, but of course, it has no idea on what is going on, completely stateless.
So I started looking in to what could be done, and I found the SmartIR, and it even has codes for Delonghi.
Unfortunately none of them works for this AC.
I have it configured like this:
climate:
- platform: smartir
name: Aircon Stuen
unique_id: 8ae52024-ba6f-42ef-8bc3-5223c22e8a8b
device_code: 2242
controller_data: remote.livingroom_sender
temperature_sensor: sensor.tado_smart_radiator_thermostat_va3357755136_current_temperature
humidity_sensor: sensor.tado_smart_radiator_thermostat_va3357755136_current_humidity
But I get no reactions from the AC when trying to use the device in HA.
I have tried all the device id's for delonghi.
Any ideas?
youll need to make your own
Ok, darned, well I will have to stay with the very poor implementation of the on/off button etc where HA doesn’t know anything about the state 
I already have the IR codes learnt, I was just hoping something brilliant had come around.
where it doesnt know the state on / off just put a door contact sensor on the louvers is the easest thing to do … louvers open and work sensor state will be on
Unfortunately that proyect is archived already, check HAIR
@fugley / @fribse - Or put a tilt sensor on the louver (using sensor typically used for garage door open/closed sensing).
Should also work to use an IMU, to detect change in X/Y/Z axis.
Or take a look at my post HERE. Works flawlessly for years now.
