Tuya Smart IR Controller

[bruceborrett]

The problem

I have this Tuya "Smart IR Controller" device:

This device and the devices linked to it do show up in Home Assistant, but they show as "unsupported" and do not have any entities.

I am using the new official Tuya integration (forked from the Tuya Smartlife repo) which does not require Tuya API access. I have many other Tuya devices all working fine.

The integration diagnostics data does contain all the information about the devices with all their relevant entities, so it seems the integration just needs to be updated to be able to recognise what type of devices these are.

The original Smartlife repo contained some instructions on how to add new devices here - https://github.com/tuya/tuya-smart-life/tree/main#categorystandard-instruction-set-expansion-development

Perhaps someone with more experience with developing home assistant integrations can assist with carrying out those instructions.

Here is the relevant data from the diagnostics:

If I duplicate the standard aircon definition in climate.py like this:

CLIMATE_DESCRIPTIONS["infrared_ac"] = CLIMATE_DESCRIPTIONS["kt"]

Then the device shows up in Home Assistant as shown below:

However it always shows as unavailable, any clues from anyone as to why this might be?

It would be great if someone could fix this issue. I'm frustratingly close to controlling my heat pump from home assistant via the Tuya universal remote.
