With AC most of times IR remotes are bi-directional so it’s not very easy to capture. Did you try the Panasonic AC mode with ESPHome ? it should be able to control straight your AC
Air conditioner IR signals are very long and different from standard signals.
If you are lucky Heatpump-IR platform might have your remote decoded, at least it has four different Panasonic AC protocols.
If that doesn’t match yours, Raw is the way to go.
Did you read the description of what that link is for. That and your question are two totally different things. Its really important to read descriptions or orher details.
Did you read through the documentation or just copy some random config off the internet because, it looks like the latter because you’ve not specified which protocols you expect(Panasonic) or which ones to try decoding(Panasonic) etc etc.
Dumping (all) IR or RF receiver codes will usually flood your log output with an endless stream of codes, even when your not pressing any remote buttons so, you should always try to filtet out any unnecessary codes that you can. The only time you might beed to use
dunp: all
dump: raw
is if you got some device and it came with a cheap remote from China and it had no brand name or very little identification markings at all like, Panasonic, Sony, LG, etc and dumping all will attempt to run the received code through and decode them using all of possible options and maybe you’ll get lucky. Here thats not necessary because you have a Panasonic so, you dont need to print an apocalyptic flood of IR codes to the log, right?
Also, just an FYI. Its really helpful to the people taking the time to try and help you, as well as yourself and how long the help takes to come if you include as many details as possible such as, pictures, product make/model or link to where you bought it. You did provide your code/config so that’s very good. Where did you get that and how did you determine that you needed to invert your gpio pin being used as the receiver input?
Do you understand the difference and how to check a digital IO to determine whether it outputs a logic High or logic Low which depending on H/L, thats how you determine whether inverting your gpio is needed or isnt needed.
You could have it correctly inverted, im just curious how you determined it because, it wouldn’t be unusual to see codes being received from your surroundings whenever inverted or not but, all the codes received from one of those options will be completely wrong and just digital nonsense on your log output.
It can be very confusing at first and i can sympathize but, just be patient and as tempting as it is to use other people’s code/config, its actually more harmful than helpful so, try figuring out as much as possible and ask for help if you need help! My hourly rate is very fair at 75$/hr!
Panasonic AC protocol is 216bits, so the signal have 436 pulses sent in two different frames with a ~10ms pause between them.
I doubt that standard protocol can read that…
That could very well be true. OP may even be better off to integrate it straight to HA through the Panasonic api(if his is compatible) or going the other way and swapping out the factory wifi card for another one that will allow it to communicate locally and use MQTT, which is what it appears most people are doing according to my brief Google searching on the matter.
IR/RF is to unreliable because, there’s no good/easy way to confirm that when you send an IR/RF command that its actually been received by the appliance. If it wasnt received then your appliance states get all out of sync with HA because it things the thing has a High fan speed because it transmitted the High command but, its actually not High because the code wasnt received or worse it sends an Off command that becomes out of sync and the thing turns your house into an oven/freezer while your at work, etc etc.
At least for me, IR and RF arent my favorite protocols unless they have some kind of feedback systems built-in to verify the many appliance states and can keep things synchronized reliably and doesn’t depend on IR/RF one way transmit thats unreliable and unverifiable.
