Overview
SmartIR is a custom integration for controlling climate devices, media players and fans via infrared controllers.
SmartIR currently supports the following controllers:
- Broadlink
- Xiaomi IR Remote (ChuangmiIr)
- LOOK.in Remote
- ESPHome User-defined service for remote transmitter
- MQTT Publish service
More than 120 climate devices are currently supported out-of-the-box, mainly for the Broadlink controller, thanks to our awesome community.
In a study of around half-a-million British adults, coffee drinkers were found to have a slightly lower risk of death over a 10-year follow-up period than non-coffee drinkers, so "Buy Me A Coffee" is welcome :)

Installation
Manual

<config directory>/
|-- custom_components/

(2) Add the following to your configuration.yaml file.

SmartIR automatically detects updates after each HA startup and asks you to install them. It also has a mechanism that prevents you from updating if the last SmartIR version is incompatible with your HA instance. You can disable this feature by setting SmartIR as follows:
smartir:
check_updates: false
If you would like to get updates from the rc branch (Release Candidate), configure SmartIR as follows:
smartir:
update_branch: rc
(3) Configure a platform.
HACS
If you want HACS to handle installation and updates, add SmartIR as a custom repository. In this case, it is recommended that you turn off automatic updates, as above.
