climate_ir_lg "Light Off" changes state to Off

[marciogranzotto]

Operating environment/Installation (Hass.io/Docker/pip/etc.):

ESPHome Add-On on Home Assistant

ESP (ESP32/ESP8266, Board/Sonoff):

NodeMCUv2 with custom PCB

ESPHome version (latest production, beta, dev branch)

v1.18.0

Affected component:

climate_ir_lg https://esphome.io/components/climate/ir_climate.html#climate-ir-lg-climate

Description of problem: My remote control has a "Light Off" button, which turns off the LED display of the AC unit, but it does not turn off the AC. When pressing that button, the state on ESPHome changes to Off. That's both using the AKB75215403 and AKB74295304 remotes Logs below.

Also, it would be great to be able to send that command from ESPHome.
