This device is the same as https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005002533541284.html from TUYA, but working on ewelink, and allows you to manage Air Condicioner without an S26 cuting energy; if you send an ON or OFF order to your Air Condicioner, It can follow its own procedure to start and stop. It also must allow you to integrate into Scenes and webhooks…
I asked ewelink support, he told us that there is no product (IR wifi remote) compatible with ewelink app at the moment!
have you tried to add this tuya product to ewelink app? and it works correctly?
Impossible.
I manage a programmable device (arduino) to read kW IN and OUT of my photovoltaic instalations, depending the power and energy available every second, it switch ON and OFF multiple ewelink devices.
The problem is with Air Condicioner, the S26 device cuts off too hard, that’s why I tried with IR device, but can’t find it supported by ewelink.
web.ewelink allows you to use the API via webhook, to make it very easy, but TUYA doesn’t have this feature.
Maybe someone knows how to do it: connect TUYA device to ewelink OR a new IR device supported by eWelink
I’m thinking of trying a Zigbee IR Blaster and paring it up with the Sonoff Zigbee Bridge. I asked support if that would work. I’m still waiting for their reply.
Is that the Moes one? If so I tried it a few months ago. It didn’t work with the iHost, which is more compatible with unexpected devices than the bridge. I ended up adding it to my Home Assistant setup.
If you have an iHost you can consider stuff with MQTT control or there is a Tuya Palette in Node Red, although I haven’t tested it. NS Panel Pro also does Node Red but you need an always on computer somewhere.

Did you try with the Moes UFO-R11 Universal smart IR remote control?
Yes. At that time it didn’t work on the iHost. Maybe an update to the firmware since has started it.
It does work with Zigbee2MQTT. Maybe there is a docker image for Zigbee2MQTT that works with a USB Dongle in the USB-A port…
