Many AC units ship with IR-only remotes and no smart control interface, making home automation integration difficult. This custom ESPHome component, modernized from @iverasp’s original work, implements the YK-H/531E IR protocol so an ESP32 or ESP8266 can control compatible air conditioners over infrared.

Installation Adding the component to your ESPHome configuration is straightforward: ...

There is no built-in mechanism for API clients to authenticate without a browser-based OAuth2 flow. The workaround: exchange Google Service Account credentials for a JWT token that oauth2-proxy can validate directly. Overview In order to do server to server auth through oauth2-proxy when using Google Provider, you have to do the following: ...
