Control MaxxAir Fan with ESPHome and IR Transmitter

ESPHome
1

Hello, I’m currently getting started with my first ESPHome projects. I’d like to control the MaxxAir Fan (a roof fan) using ESPHome with the help of an IR transmitter. I’ve already gathered the commands for it and it seems to work with my config.

The fan has a separate command for each 10% increment, and it can also rotate in two different directions. This means there are at least 20 commands. Now, I want to control the fan in Lovelace using a slider instead of individual buttons. Currently, I’ve defined all the commands as buttons. How can I implement the ability to control the fan with one (or two for In and Out) sliders?

Below is my ESPHome configuration for the fan and an image of how it should look.

hi, any progress ? The cod do not work on a esp8266 with newer ESPHOME, changing the IR code to a JVC one is working, but the code for maxxfan is not send outt (LED stays red).

regards Stefan

3

hi, found a way, switching from pronto to raw works for me …

4

Can you provide the raw codes you are using?

5

yaeh, currently we finalize the codes, will send than …

6

Its not difficult to record IR or RF signals/codes from your remotes and is something worth lesrning because, remotes arent always going to match so, its much simpler to just record them yourself.

7

For me, it’s also not working very reliable. Sometimes it’s working very well, sometimes it’s not working. In the logs of esphome I can see that commands are sent out but with some kind of time out. I don’t know why.

code is the same but it wasn’t the first post

8

How is your transmitter hardware? IR led powered from gpio?
Did you manage to make your “slider”?

Also, your data doesn’t look pronto format, it looks more raw to me.

9

Yes, a friend of me managed to do it. without editing the code in ESP home but with doing some automations and scripts and with helpers.

Hardware like you discribed. Transmitter on GPIO port of D1mini

Transmitter module or just a led?

11

With this one here.

12

For sure this doesn’t give good range, for certain distance or sunlight it’s probably not seen well by receiver. This is kind of fake module, it’s missing transistor circuit to properly power that led.

13

Sure it’s because of a bad component?

I put the transmitter directly into the fan and removed the ir receiver of the fan from the original position so that it is just 1cm away from the transmitter.

And when it’s working it’s working really good. Without any missing ir commands. And if it’s not working I can press it 100 times and it does nothing.

That’s because I think it’s more a code problem. Especially with the error/warning messages because of a time out that I receive.

14

It’s both.
That module can’t give a good signal and on the other hand your gpio pin could not supply it.

Also, your pronto data is so weird that I’m surprised that it ever works.
Where did you get that?

Also, in your code I don’t see modulation frequency set anywhere and I was not able to find if it’s coded to “pronto library”. Default is 0. Yours, I expect 38.

15

I don’t know anymore to be honest. What I know is that I needed to convert the commands that I have found. Because otherwise it was not working.
Ah now. I captured the IR codes with flipper. - a device to capture ir signals (and for a lot of other stuff). And then I had to convert them. But the codes are working. I don’t think that there is a problem with the IR codes but maybe with the rest of the esp code.

16

Or both. I don’t have Flipper, but I’m quite sure you can force it to give raw codes.
It’s difficult case if we can’t exclude any parts of possible problems. That pronto code is not “correct pronto”, raw data would be more useful.
Also hardware sucks, If that module draws 10ma, it’s too weak. If it draws more than 20mA, esp32 can’t handle it with whatever consequences. IR-Led driven correctly, should draw around 100ma, personally I draw them 500-1000mA for extended range.

You could try adding this to your code:
carrier_frequency: 38kHz

17

I already have that in my code. Just checked that I also have raw code now. Sorry. Almost a half year I made it. My code looks like this:

… i am not able to copy it with my phone. So just a picture for now.

@Tidle Any chance you can upload all that you build to support your maxxair fan? Pretty please

i think there is a lot of room for improvement.
first of all its working not reliable. at the beginning it worked great, but now (without any changes) its working in 10%. might be an hardware problem as @Karosm explained already.
then it should be possible to gener ate one fan entity out of it,instead of soo many entitties for any command. but its possible to put them together in Home assistant afterwards, like i have shown in my screenshot.
so any ideas here? or someone who can test it with better hardware? i am at vacation and not able to order any parts right now.

I see from raw data that it’s not gonna be easiest one. 90% or ir protocols have similar logic and quite easy to grab the timings and convert to binary. But this is really wild…
Playing with raw data is the last option, because every step has quite large error. Already that cheap “original remote” has error in output, Flipper receiver has another and esp sending it out has third. Final output can be quite far from what maxxair receiver decoder expects. But generally tolerances in IR decoders are quite big.

The worst part is weak transmitter (ir led). If signal is weak, just little bit sunlight can wash it out. Fortunately, that part is easy to resolve. You only need transistor, and you can drive led 10X.
