AirCare EP9R 800 humidifier pedestal

ESPHome
1

I recently purchased an ESP360 from CS and I am trying to figure out how I can use this thing with the RF 433 transmitter. I have a humidifier that has a remote that sends RF signals for things like; on, off, fan speed, humidity set-point. I can’t figure out how to exactly use this with the yaml configuration file. The RAW outputs are below, what should I be doing with this to convert it into a format esphome can understand?

I finally got a good binary output from the device directly and was able to add them into the configuration. I can’t get the switch to stay on and I don’t know if the repeats are sending correctly. The device requires 5 repeats of the signal immediately, then every 60 seconds after with the 5 repeats otherwise it thinks the remote is lost. I am pretty new to ESPHome outside of a couple of ESP-cam’s and a couple of ESP8266 relay boards.

The device is an AirCare humidifier pedestal EP9R 800.

I have also been able to copy the codes on my flipper to send both the turn on and turn off with success, just not with the ESP360.

Did you try transmitting these as Pronto?

One way you could set this up is using a while loop…

While Humidifier Switch is on, send code including repeats, delay 60, loop…

Yes, on pronto I get an error so I changed everything to RAW

[08:58:04][E][remote.pronto:109]: Inconsistent data, not sending
[08:58:04][E][remote_transmitter:117]: Empty data

I have finally got a good capture of the signals by hooking up a probe kit to the ground and data pins.
