Home assistant

To activate PIIR transmission from Home Assistant you need to have a UI-component that trigger PIIR, e.g. by a Home Assistant configuration for a MQTT enabled Climate UI-component:

climate:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "HVAC"
    min_temp: 8
    max_temp: 30
    modes:
      - auto
      - heat
      - cool
      - fan_only
      - "off"
    swing_modes:
      - auto
      - horisontal
      - vertical
      - off
    fan_modes:
      - auto
      - powerful
      - quiet
      - very high
      - high
      - medium
      - low
      - very low
    power_command_topic: "hvac/power/set"
    mode_command_topic: "hvac/mode/set"
    temperature_command_topic: "hvac/temperature/set"
    fan_mode_command_topic: "hvac/fan/set"
    swing_mode_command_topic: "hvac/swing/set"
    precision: 1.0

Such a configuration will generate an UI-component like this within Home Assistant:

When climate component state changes then PIIR needs to be activated by a Home Assistant configuration like this:

automation:
  - alias: run_set_ac
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: climate.HVAC
    action:
      service: shell_command.send_ac_state

shell_command:
  send_ac_state: "sudo piir --remote hvac_panasonic --feature temperature={{ state_attr('climate.HVAC', 'temperature') }} --feature mode={{ 'HEAT' if is_state('climate.HVAC','heat') else 'COOL' if is_state('climate.HVAC', 'cool') else 'FAN' if is_state('climate.HVAC', 'fan_only') else 'AUTO' if is_state('climate.HVAC', 'auto') else 'OFF' }} --feature option={{ 'QUIET' if is_state_attr('climate.HVAC', 'fan_modes', 'quiet') else 'POWERFUL' if is_state_attr('climate.HVAC', 'fan_modes', 'powerful') else 'AUTO' }} --feature fan={{ 'AUTO' 'POWERFUL' if is_state_attr('climate.HVAC', 'fan_modes', 'powerful') else 'QUIET' if is_state_attr('climate.HVAC', 'fan_modes', 'quiet') else 'VERYFAST' if is_state_attr('climate.HVAC', 'fan_modes', 'very fast') else 'FAST' if is_state_attr('climate.HVAC', 'fan_modes', 'fast') else 'MEDIUM' if is_state_attr('climate.HVAC', 'fan_modes', 'medium') else 'SLOW' if is_state_attr('climate.HVAC', 'fan_modes', 'slow') else 'VERYSLOW' if is_state_attr('climate.HVAC', 'fan_modes', 'very slow') else 'AUTO' }} --feature updown={{ 'AUTO' if is_state_attr('climate.HVAC', 'swing_modes', 'auto') else 'AUTO' if is_state_attr('climate.HVAC', 'swing_modes', 'vertical') else 'HIGH' }} --feature leftright={{ 'AUTO' if is_state_attr('climate.HVAC', 'swing_modes', 'auto') else 'AUTO' if is_state_attr('climate.HVAC', 'swing_modes', 'horisontial') else 'MIDDLE' }}"

Now PIIR will be called to send a IR command each time climate component state changes within Home Assistant.
