SmartIR is a component for controlling AC units and TV devices via Infrared controllers. An IR controller such as Broadlink RM is required.
The key features of the component are:
* Support for Base64, Broadlink Hex and Pronto codes.
* Support for external temperature and humidity sensors (Climate platform)
* Support for external on/off sensor that monitors whether your device is actually On or Off. This may be a power monitor sensor.
* Support for voice assistants.
## **Component setup instructions**
Create the folder `custom_components`, if it does not exist, in the home assistant’s config directory. Create the `smartir` folder and copy `__init__.py`, ` climate.py` and `media_player.py` files into it.
Add the following to your configuration.yaml file.
