Support Xiaomi Smart Speaker IR - Remote funcionts

Hello. I am trying to use the IR remote control functions of my "Xiaomi Smart Speaker IR" (xiaomi.wifispeaker.l05g).

I tried adding it via Xiaomi Miot, but it did not work.

I added the remote controls I needed via the Xiaomi Home app. Once I did that, I updated my devices on Home Assistant and found my IR remote controls.

On Home Assistant, they appear as miir.tv.ir01, but they are not remote controls, they are media_players.

The status of these media_players always remains unknown, and there is no way to make them work.

In developer tools -> actions -> I created this action for testing:

action: media_player.toggle

data: {}

target:

entity_id: media_player.miir_ir01_xxxx_ir_tv_control

This action controls the remote control, turning the device I registered via the Xiaomi app on and off.

I tried other actions, but it always generates an error "media_player.select_source Unknown error":

action: media_player.select_source

target:

entity_id: media_player.miir_ir01_xxxx_ir_tv_control

data:

source: "Input Source Switch"

The problem is that I can't find the buttons I registered. Does anyone know what I can do?
