Dyson Infrared

The Dyson Infrared integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more. [Learn more] lets you control a Dyson device using any infrared transmitter previously configured in Home Assistant.

Because the integration communicates over infrared, it operates in a one-way, fire-and-forget fashion: commands are sent to the device but there is no feedback channel to confirm the current state of the device. The integration therefore uses assumed states.
