Using smart wifi remote as IR Blaster

[Matsilagi]

Its not an issue per-se, but a question more of.
Is it possible to use this app as a IR blaster to send remote codes over to a Tuya device with an IR blaster?
I need to clone a remote which i dont have, but its NEC Hex codes are available on the internet, especifically those.

Is there a way to make a python script which does that? This way i wouldnt need to suffer with IR blasters for android devices (which are 99% of the time, locked behind specific apps, such as ocrustar)

It depends. Does that smart WiFi remote remain connected to WiFi? Battery operated devices do not since WiFi uses a lot of power. If it does then the standard IR library should work https://github.com/jasonacox/tinytuya/blob/master/examples/Contrib/IRRemoteControlDevice-example.py

Edit: the relevant parts from the above example:

# discrete on/off codes for LG
hex_lg_on = 0x20DF23DC
hex_lg_off = 0x20DFA35C

# convert the 32-bit integers into a stream of pulses
pulses_lg_on = Contrib.IRRemoteControlDevice.nec_to_pulses( hex_lg_on )

ir = Contrib.IRRemoteControlDevice( 'abcdefghijklmnop123456', '172.28.321.475', '1234567890123abc', persist=True )

print( 'Turning the LG tv off with head/key' )
head, key = Contrib.IRRemoteControlDevice.pulses_to_head_key( pulses_lg_off )
ir.send_key( head, key )

Yes it does. It's one of those wired ones.
Will give it a shot then
