Not yet. I tried some online converters without luck. I suspect the codes are not "standard" broadlink format.

I used the code and it does not add "ir_code_to_send":
should I do it menually? am I doing something wrong?
is it not a must?

I got the script to run but have the same issue as @Jody1818 where none of the lines in the output have "ir_code_to_send"

Also all the output IR codes are wildly different from the original .json codes.

The codes are different because they're not encoded in the same format, so it's completely normal.
The ir_code_to_send is not added because you should add it to your climate platform like this (in the configuration.yaml):

climate:
  - platform: smartir
    name: "My AC"
    device_code: 8888
    controller_data: "zigbee2mqtt/UFO-R11 Test/set/ir_code_to_send"

In that case the payload needed just needs to be the IR code.

For issue with invalid int, its because some temps dont have a command in the source file:
eg:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/smartHomeHub/SmartIR/refs/heads/master/codes/climate/1281.json

        "static": {
          "16": "",
          "17": "JgAGAWk0DA0NDQ4mDQ4NJg4MDQ0NDg0mDiYNDg0MDQ0OJg4nDA4NDQ0MDg0NDQwODQ0NDA4NDQ0NDQ0NDQwOJw0NDQ0NDgwNDQ0ODA0NDScNDQ4MDQ0NDg0mDiYNJw0oDCgNJw0mDicMDg0NDScNDQwODQ0NDA4NDQ0NDQ0NDScNJw0NDQ4MDQ0NDgwNDQ0ODSYODQwNDQ4NDA0NDg0MDQ0ODQwNDg0mDicMDg0NDQwODQ0NDA4NDQ0MDg0NDQ0NDQ0NDA4NDQ0NDQ0NDQ4MDQ0NDgwNDQ0ODA0NDQ4MDQ0NDg0MDQ0ODQwNDQ4NDA0NDiYODQ0MDSgNDA4nDCgNDA4NDQ0MKA0ADQU=",

these should simply be skipped.
I suggest the script is updated to do that.
eg.
if isinstance(value, str):
becomes
if isinstance(value, str) and value:

I tried the conversion but with the tuya sensors the conversion files don't work. Does anyone have any ideas?

I have made a website that performs the conversion directly in your browser!
Here is a link: Broadlink → Raw MQTT Converter
You can even convert the other way around now
Here is a link to the site's Git: https://github.com/tomer2526/Convert-Broadlink-Codes-to-Row-MQTT-Format

if you want to implement this also, it converts from Globalcache's format (sendir...) to Raw MQTT:

            const freq = parseInt(parts[3]);
            const rawValues = parts.slice(6).map(Number);
            
            // Convert GC pulses to Microseconds
            const durations = rawValues.map(val => Math.round((val / freq) * 1000000));

            // Encode to Base64 (using 16-bit Little Endian as per Tuya Z2M standards)
