Good morning everyone,
Not long ago I started playing around with Smart Home devices.
First I managed to get the ds18b20 thermometers on ESP and Tasmota up and running, which connect via MQTT to the HA server on the raspberry pi - it works.
Then I took on an IR receiver/transmitter from China (Tuya S18), which by the way I managed to buy for less than 3zl 😉
I uploaded OpenBK, set up the I/O according to the ready-made configuration from OpenBK, configured MQTT and connected to HA.
Well here I have a problem. The HA shows 2 entities from this device (a button and I think WiFi), but nothing related to IR. Did I miss something during the configuration? How can I control the IR transmitter at all?
I want to control a Samsung tv and a Yamaha receiver. On the original sofet I could control these devices without a problem. I'm guessing that you need to have the remote control button codes - ok, but how do you receive them? Any commands? Currently the console does not show anything related to IR.
Please help and understanding, because I've been struggling with this for 3 days now and can't seem to get it right and I'm barely a beginner in this topic.
Below I insert screen shots of the configuration and visible entities in MQTT HA.
