Zigbee2MQTT compatibility and new LG climate

[bartfaik04]

I've added Zigbee2MQTT controller, and a new a new LG climate

[stefanmd023]

This is interesting, I was actually looking into how to control these as I got 2 of these zigbee ir devices. I wanted to see if it's possible to use the MQTT controller which is already supported here. Although a direct Z2M support would be nice

Idid not work with MQTT. I stole your code.

I assume that controller_data you put text.remote1_ir_code_to_send ?

[stefanmd023]

damn not working for me. I assume I am putting the wrong thing in controller_data

[stefanmd023]

what do you put in controller_data? basic, which topic exactly? I tried to put the topic of the z2m ir remote

why in the configuration they put home-assistant/bedroom-fan/command? where is this coming from?

[stefanmd023]

ok it's working now, I had to put "zigbee2mqtt/MYREMOTE/set"

First of all, sorry for the lack of documentation.

Here's the story behind it: I purchased a zigbee ir controller from aliexpress to control my ac. The original mqtt controller didn’t work with my irblaster through z2m.

I found out that in order to use it with z2m, I needed to prefix every command with "ir_code_to_send":, which wasn’t ideal. So, I created a z2m controller (basically a modified mqtt controller) that automatically inserts the required text in front of each command.
And with that, my AC started working :)

P.S. I'm open to any ideas or feedback!

[stefanmd023]

work perfectly as is. I also got these ir blasters to control the ceiling fans per room. they are very handy, albeit some slight lag due to them being battery devices, but they work perfectly well.

pity this repo seems almost dead. I was thinking of shifting to https://github.com/litinoveweedle/SmartIR have you seen it?

although right now doesn't really matter as long as I do my own files for my devices.

I havn't seen it, thanks for the sharing.

[stefanmd023]

thanks for your code and work too!
