- Click 'Add Custom Repository'
- Fill in the repo url https://github.com/silentbil/silent-remotes-card and choose 'Lovelace' category.

## Adding the Card to the Dashboard
Add a Manual card to the dashboard and enter the YAML to configure it as desired.
### Options
| Name | Description | Default | Required | Values |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `iconSize` | Size of the buttons | `25` | No | number|
| `remote` | remote control name | None | Yes | string |
| `commandsFilePath` | path of the file with the commands | None | Yes | `/folder/file-name.json` |
| `theme` | Theme of style | light | No | `light` or `dark` |

## entity mode (NEW)
You can now simply use a climate entity (using smartIR) and skip the next steps of using external command file.
example:
```
type: custom:silent-remotes-card
theme: light
title: Electra
remoteType: ac
entity: climate.salon_ac
```
## Command file structure
* The command file look like smartIr structure, meaning you can download the relevant commands from their device list and use as is.
* If not using smartIr, the file structre still need to fit the following
[TV example file with custom buttons](https://github.com/silentbil/silent-remotes-card/blob/main/command-examples/tv-command-example.json)
[TV command file example from smartIR](https://github.com/smartHomeHub/SmartIR/blob/master/codes/media_player/1060.json)
[AC command file example from smartIR](https://github.com/smartHomeHub/SmartIR/blob/master/codes/climate/1943.json)
Check out [smartIR](https://github.com/smartHomeHub/SmartIR) and find your device commands.
### Add a command file:
create a json file somewhere inside your www folder. for example: www/my-remotes(create this folder)/tv.json, and paste the commands from the correct file from smartIR, or manually fill the commands yourself.
after that, in the card configuration use: ``commandsFilePath: /local/my-remotes/tv.json`` , note that ``www`` folder is equal to ``local``
**do not create the json file where this card is installed, because after updates it will be deleted**
## Examples
### example1: AC remote
```
type: custom:silent-remotes-card
remote: remote.broadlink_remote
commandsFilePath: /local/my-remotes/1945.json
theme: light
title: Electra
remoteType: ac
callServiceProps:
domain: remote
service: send_command
```
In this example, AC remote control will be created.
Remote device name is: `remote.broadlink_remote` and the service to send the command is: "remote.send_command".
the file with the commands is taken from `1945.json` found in the folder.
### example2: TV remote
```
type: custom:silent-remotes-card
remote: remote.broadlink_remote
commandsFilePath: /local/my-remotes/1061.json
theme: dark
title: my samsung tv
remoteType: tv
iconSize: 25
callServiceProps:
domain: remote
service: send_command
```
