📑Add IR for HA
"Add IR for HA" Download Failed
Problem The "Add IR for HA" process gets stuck or fails while "Downloading IR Code Library," preventing you from adding your device.
Solution Bypass the download issue by first adding the device to the mobile app, then converting it for Home Assistant.
Steps
Add to Mobile App
In your smart home app (e.g., Smart Life), choose "Add IR for App".
Follow the guide: select your device brand and learn all essential IR codes (Power, Mode, Temp Up/Down, Fan Speed, etc.).
Save the remote. Confirm you can control the device from the app.
Convert to HA Panel
Go to the device page in the app. Tap the "..." menu and select "Convert to HA Panel".
Select the device you want to convert and tap "Convert".
Return to the main device list, pull down to refresh. A new device with an "HA" tag will appear.
Next Step To control this panel from Home Assistant, complete the setup by configuring it via MQTT.
