Long story but I originally deployed my Zigbee network with Z2M and not ZHA. One of the devices I deployed was a Zigbee IR Sender; the native Infrared showed in the settings menu. I moved the IR sender to a ZHA deployment and now the native Infrared is not showing.
Any hints, I only have one Zigbee coordinator to deploy with.

Perhaps the IR sender is only supported in z2m?
MQTT supports Infrared platform and Z2M exposes TX and RX.
ZHA does not currently appear to support any of the infrared entities, transmit or receive.
HAIR can communicate, transmit and receive, with Z2M, as of last week. The entity now has a button to put it in a temporary capture mode, which will transmit over the infrared receive protocol, natively to Home Assistant. It does work as a transmit device.
There are some limitations with the Zigbee protocol that they’re using for infrared that cap the bite size of the codes, so we have to give Zigbee IR transmissions a haircut on transmission.
