ESPHome Remote Receiver question

Hello, I am trying to replicate the signals from my remote to control the air conditioning.
This is an air conditioner and is not in the list of supported devices. For now I just want to be able to turn the machine on and off. Shipping would not be a problem. I would like to be able to update the status when receiving the signal from the remote control using remote receiver automations.

# Example automation for decoded signals
remote_receiver:
  ...
  on_samsung:
    then:
    - if:
        condition:
          or:
            - lambda: 'return (x.data == 0xE0E0E01F);'  # VOL+ newer type
            - lambda: 'return (x.data == 0xE0E0E01F0);' # VOL+ older type
        then:
          - ...

This is the example given, but I would like to use it for haier since the codes can be recognized.
I have tried:

remote_receiver:
  id: rcvr
  pin: 
    number: GPIO2
    inverted: true
  dump: raw
  on_haier:
    then:
    - if:
        condition:
          or:
            - lambda: 'return (x.data == A6.EC.0F.00.79.40.00.20.00.00.00.00.05);'
        then:
          - switch.turn_on: ac2

But it gives a compilation error.
Does anyone have an idea? Can you help me?

Well, seeing that those compilation errors tell you what is causing the error, its usually a good idea to go ahead and copy that too.

3

If you only have 1 condition under an -if statement, you can delete the ‘or’ since theres not multiple conditions.

4

Yes true, or was a copy paste, but I don’t really use it, it comes from the example.
The error given is:

<unicode string>: In lambda function:
<unicode string>:39:25: error: 'A6' was not declared in this scope; did you mean 'A0'?
<unicode string>:39:30: error: expected ')' before numeric constant
*** [.pioenvs/aire-acondicionado-2/src/main.cpp.o] Error 1

and this code is just like the one I received:

Received Haier: A6.EC.0F.00.79.40.00.20.00.00.00.00.05 (13)

My C++ isnt the best but, if you look at the error it doesnt like tne syntax for the raw code. I think its because its starting with a letter and not a number.

Another way to do the same thing is just make a binary sensor.
‘’’
binary_sensor:

  • platform: remote_receiver
    name: “Haier Remote Input”
    Haier:

    command: A6.EC.0F.00.79.40.00.20.00.00.00.00.05
    on_click:
    min_length: 50ms
    max_length: 350ms
    then:
    - switch.turn_on: ac2
    ‘’’

I was completely unaware of the ‘remote_receiver’ platform of a ‘binary_sensor’. I have searched for information and how to configure it because it gave me a compilation error.

binary_sensor:
  - platform: remote_receiver
    name: "Haier Remote Input"
    haier: 
      code: [0xA6, 0x72, 0x00, 0x00, 0x61, 0x20, 0x00, 0x20, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x05]
    on_press:
      then:
        - switch.toggle: ac2

In the end I chose to use RAW commands, but of course now I have another problem. Every time I press the button a few seconds apart, the command changes slightly.

This short list is equivalent to pressing the single on/off button. It is clearly noticeable when it is turned on and when it is turned off. I’m blocked right now.

Any ideas?

7

Oh… That, im not sure about. Those are all from single presses of the same button?

8

Not a single press, several, but always the same button, on/off.

Or maybe I have something wrong in the code:

remote_receiver:
  id: rcvr
  pin: 
    number: GPIO2
    inverted: true
  dump: haier

At first the manufacturer did not detect me, until I set inverted: true.
