core Tuya Smart IR and its integrated device shows as unsupported

The problem

Hi, I use Tuya app to integrate with my smart devices from BARDI (local smart home company from Indonesia, https://bardi.co.id/ ). Currently I can control my Air Conditioner and TV via their Smart IR device

However, integrating my HA with Tuya integration shows that the devices is unsupported and have no entities to be controlled. Pardon i'm quite new in HA. Kindly guide me on this. I already provided the diagnostic log above. Thank you

Hey there @tuya, @zlinoliver, @metisu, @frenck, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (tuya) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks! _{^{(message by CodeOwnersMention)}}

+1 I'm in exactly the same situation, I guess if tuya have no interest on solving this we'll just have to flash the devices...

+1, same situation since tuya v2 was deprecated for direct integration in HA core

Looking at the tuya dev platform, the IR blaster is online. I can control it fine via the tuya app and home assistant picks it up as being a valid device, but won't give me any entities to control.

+1 is there any update?

Same issue. Any updates?

It seems is a limitation in the Tuya api because I tried to use api calls and not able to execute any command with the IR device....

I also used Local Tuya integration and I was not able to setup the IR device. Other sensors were setup correctly.

Local tuya has no implementation for that, I hope HA back support those devices.

please priorize this issue/feature!

Same issue. Not sure if it helps but if I download diagnostics from this screen : I can see a json with these values : "status": { "va_temperature": 248, "va_humidity": 44 } Which is correct so perhaps if we had a way of polling this...

I join this topic. Let's see if someone finds a solution! Thank you!

I've found a workarround:

You can create scenarios to run, will you create within the app not from Home Assistant. once a scenario is being created it will show up in HA. They are all transferred to HA official Tuya integration. You can find them under scenes section.

i have same problem with perenio red atom (ir device) and climate device

Jul 06 '22 18:07 strozl

I did it a scenario in Smart Life and it works fine but no scenes appear in HA I can also activate the scenario via Alexa and works fine but not in HA

I don't know why I have the feeling that nobody is working lately (in the last maybe 6 month or more) to add new Tuya devices support in HA. I also have a Smart IR Tuya device which is working fine in the Tuya app, though it's shown as " Smart IR (unsupported) by Tuya" in the device info, same as many of you are reporting.

My Smart IR device seems to be reporting the temp and humidity, as I can see them in the diagnostics json txt file, but no entities shown. It's category is "wnykq", which does not appear in the HA official list of the Tuya Supported Device Category so obviously nobody from Tuya or HA worked on adding additional Tya supported devices since Release 2021.11.

Home Assistant team guys, is anybody from your team working on the Tuya integration, or it's left in between the chairs? as I see in several posts that there is a ping-pong between HA team pointing to Tuya IoT and Tuya IoT pointing back to HA? Any further development to support new Tuya devices not present in the Tuya supported devices official list?
