Device information

You add the device, then it creates virtual devices for the remotes.

When i want to use flow cards, they are not existing thats why i wanted to add this

Diagnostic: 83ed02ec-95d5-4869-9dfe-f730a16dc226

[julianborghuis]

Also the whole thing is there isnt an cheap ir sensor that can manage this, so if tuya adds this that would be nice

[bobvandevijver]

Your request isn't about the IR sensor itself, but about the AC you are controlling with it. You should be able to add that AC as other device and control it with the default cards using the datapoints. There might be an issue with the trigger cards not being triggered, which is currently in investigation.

[bobvandevijver]

I am closing this issue as the particular infrared airco will not be added (#217) because they do not expose their status using the status set we need. You can still control it directly using the datapoints and the flow cards we expose. If the triggers currently do not work for your datapoints it could be caused by a known issue with the updates, which is tracked with #136.

[bobvandevijver]

We have been working on real IR support, and I believe that your device can actually work with that. It is scheduled for version 1.5.0 now, which is still pending a couple of things.
