| Tuya IR AC via HomeKit Bridge | Not working Cloud | Broken in Home Home app recognises an AC but labels it 'unsupported' and unusable | Maintainer could not reproduce; AC shown as unsupported in HomeSaved copyHey. Used this for my AC, paired with my IR blaster from tuya. Works like a charm. My only issue; the AC comes out as unsupported on apple HomeKit when I try to use the Apple HomeKit Bridge to pair the AC to my apple Home app. When I import it, Home recognizes it as an AC, but labelled 'unsupported', and hence it is unusable from there. Any fixes or possible future HomeKit intergration enhancements? Thanks a lot, Luca from Malta Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #158 · 2026-07 |
