I have a smart ir blaster that’s connected to smartlife and to homey i can find the smart ir using the tuya app on homey but not the tv aircon or sound bar it controls, on the smartlife app i have to press on the smart ir to be able to access the tv aircon and soundbar
Am I missing something or is controlling the smart ir not possible?

You need to create scenes in the Tuya mobile app for each button, and then use the “Start tap-to-run” Flow card in Homey to run them.
