Did I do something wrong setting it? I followed this thread: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/smartir-control-your-climate-tv-and-fan-devices-via-ir-rf-controllers/100798/1511

What exactly do you not understand about the error message?

Exception: Configured controller is not supported by the device data file.

Your device file was not created and is not meant to be used with your controller type.

Thank you for your quick response and apologies for my ignorance!! honestly I couldn't figure out completely how the integration works, It did not creates an entity for climate. I guess by your answer it is because a device file for the controller type (esphome right?) is missing, can you please direct me to the right resource where I can learn what to do? honest apologies I have been sitting days and nights going throw forums and documentations trying to figure out how to set up IR remotes in general and climate as well.. Thank you for your time and efforts making this Integration work!

EDIT: Took me a few minute to make it sink in. I successfully set the integration with a climate entity, now I need to recored and build a file for my AC with raw codes for EspHome. It will take me some time but I will share the file at the end =)

Thanks again =)
