Describe the bug

When the service from SmartIR is called to ESPHome it says the entity is missing, but if i test it through the developer console it works fine, i have hooked up a LED to see if the board is not defective but it is working fine.

Only through SmartIR it does not work.

Based on the original logs you posted you were not using this SW but original SmartIR project!

2024-03-06 10:38:41.904 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.climate.const] HVAC_MODE_OFF was used from smartir, this is a deprecated constant which will be removed in HA Core 2025.1. Use HVACMode.OFF instead, please report it to the author of the 'smartir' custom integration The current logs are not from the debug mode! Please provide complete debug log.

On top of that config validation raise error

voluptuous.error.MultipleInvalid: not a valid value for dictionary value @ data['entity_id']

Please list the entity esphome.aircon_01_send_raw_command in the HA Developers tools -> States

Moreover I see where is your problem. Your device file is not suitable for the ESPhome, as if you will look into the file you will see:

  "commandsEncoding": "Base64",
  "supportedController": "Broadlink",

Therefore you need to create device file compatible with your controller. Closing as invalid.
