AR Smart IR v1.2.5

Big expansion of the bundled TV code database, plus a couple of reliability fixes.

📺 Expanded media_player database

  • ➕ 50 new TV codesets added, sourced from irdb and rendered to Pronto with the built-in tools/ir_render.py.
  • 🏷️ +16 brand-new manufacturers: ANITECH, AOC, CIS BOX, Coby, Daewoo, Emerson, Fast, Fisher, LXI, Loewe, Magnavox, Marantz, Memorex, NEC, Proton, Quasar.
  • 🔁 6 existing brands got additional codesets: Hitachi, JVC, LG, Panasonic, Philips, Sony.
  • 🎛️ 1,183 individual IR commands added.
  • 📈 The media_player picker now lists 117 codesets across 53 manufacturers (was 56). Total bundled catalog is now 501 codesets.

All new codes are Pronto-encoded, so they auto-transcode to Broadlink, Xiaomi, MQTT, LOOKin, ESPHome, and Tuya through the controller layer — no per-controller work needed.

Each device maps on / off / volumeUp / volumeDown / nextChannel / previousChannel / mute to the right entity actions, routes inputs and digit-tuning into sources (incl. Channel 0–9), and preserves every other button (MENU, GUIDE, arrows, etc.) as extra command keys.

🐛 Fixes

  • Fixed malformed JSON (trailing commas) in codes/media_player/1440.json and codes/light/1020.json that were silently preventing those devices from loading.

🧪 Validation

  • All 1,183 new Pronto commands round-trip through the controller's pronto2lirc parser — zero failures.
  • All four code folders load cleanly with no catalog warnings.

⚠️ Notes

  • The renderer currently covers the NEC, Sony SIRC, RC5, and RC6 protocol families. Codesets using other protocols were skipped rather than shipped broken.
  • ir_render.py uses LSB-first NEC framing; some imported sets are NECx (MSB-first) variants — worth spot-testing the power button on brands you actually own before relying on the full batch.
  • A handful of irdb codesets don't include a cleanly-named power/volume key, so those buttons remain available under the preserved extra keys rather than the mapped entity actions.

Install / update via HACS, or copy custom_components/ar_smart_ir/ manually and restart Home Assistant.
