OSRAM Infrared
osram_infrared
The OSRAM Infrared integration lets you control compatible OSRAM and LEDVANCE RGB lights using an infrared emitter previously configured in Home Assistant.
In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge
What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.

What people report
OSRAM IR lights are controlled with assumed state and no brightness control.

| Device | In Home Assistant | In Apple Home | What they said | Source |

| OSRAM IR-remote light | Partly works | Assumed state; no brightness; colors snap to remote presetsSaved copyLimitations: Infrared communication does not provide confirmation that the light received a transmitted command. The reported state can differ from the actual state if a signal is missed. Brightness control is currently not supported. The color wheel maps colors to the discrete presets available on the physical remote. The selected color can therefore differ slightly from the requested color. Commands sent with the physical remote update the Home Assistant state only when an infrared receiver is configured and successfully captures the signal.

How it connects
Assumed state
Sends commands but can’t read the device’s state back, so Home Assistant assumes it worked.
