I have Speaker with IR Remote control.

Successfully added this custom IR remote to homebridge, looks like it's supported and recognized as air conditioner, but doesn't work and does't response.

Here's config, i used IP and token of speaker and model and id of created remote. { "name": "Living Room AC Xiaomi", "ip": "192.168.1.41", "token": "6b4f316b556150307270383556797959", "deviceId": "ir.1622213879634477056", "model": "miir.aircondition.ir02", "pollingInterval": 10, "deepDebugLog": false, "buzzerControl": false, "ledControl": false, "childLockControl": false, "modeControl": true }

I mean the ir remote seems like a completely new device type. As I understand it does not support Bluetooth but uses infrared? How does it work? Does the ir remote send a signal to the gateway?

Speaker connect through Wi-Fi to cloud, then you can add sub devices, it will add new device like ac, tv, fan. I believe it send commands and works same like gateway-connected BLE/Zigbee devices. Here's you can see video about this device https://youtu.be/qWxBLC-iC4M

Are you requesting support for a ir remote or the smart speaker? This is something which is confusing me😅

[romacv]

This is Smart Speaker with IR gateway feature. Please check the link: https://www.mi.com/global/product/xiaomi-smart-speaker-ir-control/ I need to support Air Conditioner control via IR remote functionality. I believe it should work with cloud same like BLE/Zigbee child devices, but child devices - IR remotes.

So this is the device model which you need support for miir.aircondition.ir02?

Right.

Thanks for creating the pull requests! If the devices now work can we close this?

[romacv]

I'll duplicate updates here:

romacv commented 19 hours ago Unfortunately doesn't work, looks like IR control gateway more complicated.

merdok commented 20 minutes ago I think it should work the same or similar as BLE devices...

Let's study the issue in more detail later.

[merdok]

How do you enter the device data into the config? The same as for BLE devices? Did you try to use the miot cli to directly communicate to the device from the command line? That way you will be able to quickly test the communication and retrieve property values or execute actions.

Is anyone working on providing support for IR Remote?

[merdok]

@AlokBansal8 what IR Remote do you have?
