IR Remotes supported?

Does the Library support IR Remotes as well through DeviceManager?

Hello,

Yes, the library supports pretty much anything you can do through the Tuya API, including IR remotes.

To do that you will have to first obtain the instruction set for your device, which you'll have to convert to a Command and then send it back to the API to control it. Below is an example with an air conditioning entity that is controlled via a remote IR:

// ...
const string testDeviceId = "your_ac_device_id_here";
var deviceInstructions = await client.DeviceManager.GetDeviceInstructionsAsync(testDeviceId);

deviceInstructions will return a list of Instructions that your device supports. Here's a screenshot from the debugger of what possible values look like:

You'll have to take the Code from the instruction you want to send and pass it back as a command. E.g. if you want to turn the air conditioning on, you'll have to pass the following Command:

var switchOnCommand = new Command()
{
    Code = "switch",
    Value = true,
};

await client.DeviceManager.SendCommandAsync(testDeviceId, switchOnCommand);

I will add support for specific device categories in the future, but for now I hope this answer helped you. Cheers :)

Sorry for the late reply. Worked like a charm, thank you.
