Could someone help me to configure SmartIR, available on github to use with Tasmota over MQTT?

I have installed the addon with HACS and have generic IR flashed with TasmotaIR (when aiming with remote control to the IR box I can see it's receiving commands on the console).

I'm stuck trying to get working with Gree air conditioner and Samsung TV

This is my configuration.yaml

smartir:

media_player:


    

  • platform: smartir
name: Bedroom TV
unique_id: bedroom_tv
device_code: 1060
controller_data: cmnd/tasmota_79A072/IRsend
#power_sensor: binary_sensor.tv_power
    • 



climate:


    

  • platform: smartir
name: Bedroom AC
unique_id: bedroom_ac
device_code: 1180
controller_data: cmnd/tasmota_79A072/IRsend
temperature_sensor: sensor.temp_hum_cuarto_temperature
humidity_sensor: sensor.temp_hum_cuarto_humidity
    •

When pushing any buttons on generated cards nothing happens (on the Tasmota console, nothing is showing).

I suspect that the problem is device code 1060 only supports Broadlink and does not support MQTT. Same for device code 1180. Unfortunately, I have found no complete example of using SmartIR with MQTT.

Ok there are two key properties here to get smartir working over MQTT (with tasmota)

  • device_code
  • controller_data

device_code

I thought that just looking for codes in the github repo here and then setting the value for my device will make it work, but it didn't.

You will need first to upload the [code].json file to your home assistant installation at config/custom_components/smartir/codes/climate for air conditioner or config/custom_components/smartir/codes/media_player for tv.

That's sounds easy but the most complicated part is that major .json files available on the git repo are for broadlink hardware and don't work for tasmotized devices that communicates through MQTT so you have two options.

  1. Google a lot to try to find someone sharing .json file for the same device as yours.
  2. Get codes yourself using the original remote control.

To get codes yourself you need to access to your tasmotized device through it web interface and go to "Console". Then get your remote control and pointing to your IR device push a button. You will see on console information regarding this button you pressed.

enter image description here

This information you will use to construct your own .json file like this (Samsung TV)

In any case you finally will have your xxxx.json file uploaded on any of those folders and device_code property configured with same number.

controller_data

Here you just need to specify the MQTT topic between some other parameters. MQTT topic is present on your tasmotized device configuration

enter image description here

cmnd/<your_mqtt_topic_here>/IRhvac for air conditioner

cmnd/<your_mqtt_topic_here>/IRsend for tv

Example of configuration.yaml configuration


smartir:
  check_updates: false

media_player:


    

  • platform: smartir
name: Bedroom TV
unique_id: bedroom_tv
device_code: 1070
controller_data: cmnd/tasmota_smart_ir_bedroom/IRsend
#power_sensor: media_player.chromecast_cuarto
    • 



climate:


    

  • platform: smartir
name: Bedroom AC
unique_id: bedroom_ac
device_code: 1180
controller_data: cmnd/tasmota_smart_ir_bedroom/IRhvac
temperature_sensor: sensor.temp_hum_cuarto_temperature
humidity_sensor: sensor.temp_hum_cuarto_humidity
