Description

**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**

I have Rovex AC model no: RS-12HST2. It would be nice to be able to control it through IR Remote Climate component. I tested it with the below platforms:
-balu;
-coolix;
-daikin;
-fujitsu_general;
-mitsubishi;
-tcl112;
-toshiba;
-yashima;
-whirlpool;
-climate_ir_lg;
hitachi_ac344.
Unfortunately, none of the existing platform do support this device for now.

**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**

My use case is to control my AC through Homeassistant and ESP Home using tuya IR remote control(with ESP home firmware).
Alternative solution I tried to connect my AC through cloud it is working fine using config from HAIER AC, but it depends on the Internet and not a reliable solution.

Research direction

Start by comparing the existing IR Remote Climate platforms listed in the issue, then investigate how the Rovex RS-12HST2 and Haier configurations differ. The issue provides no repository files, tests, or protocol captures to follow. Done means the model can be controlled locally through ESPHome and the IR Remote Climate component without relying on the cloud.
