AR Smart IR

🚀 AR Smart IR – Update

This release continues the transition of AR Smart IR into a fully modern, UI-based integration.

⚠️ Work in Progress Notice
This project is still actively being developed and improved. Some features (especially advanced controller support like ESPHome) are not fully implemented yet.

✨ What’s Included

• Improved Config Flow structure and UI experience
• Cleaner device setup (no YAML required)
• Better groundwork for multi-controller support
• Internal improvements for future expandability

🧪 ESPHome Support (Partial / Experimental)

Support for ESPHome IR transmitters is currently under development.

At the moment:
• Only remote.* entities are officially supported in the UI
• esphome.* services are not yet selectable in the Config Flow
• Manual service input is not implemented yet

👉 This will be improved in upcoming updates

💡 Notes

This integration was originally forked from an older project and is being rebuilt into a more modern, user-friendly system.

⚠️ Because of this:
• Some legacy flexibility (like raw service input) is still being reintroduced
• Expect rapid updates and changes

🙏 Feedback

If something doesn’t work for your setup, please open an issue — it helps shape the integration going forward.

Thanks for testing and supporting the project 🙌
