Hi All,

I have purchased a couple of [ ESP8285 ESP-01M IR transceiver ] units from amazon. i have managed to reprogram the ESP8285 units with ESPHome through home assistant [SEE CODE BELOW]

The intention for these units was to replace a remote control for 2x [ ElectriQ Portable AC units ] 1 has been lost & the other has just been damaged after injecting wrong voltage into the data lines attempting to view any serial data from the remote.

Before i blew the remote i managed to Receive Pronto data from all the remote buttons [Data Below]. I have Enabled the transmitter on the ESP8285 and attempted to blast the data back at one of the AC units and nothing happens.

POWER ON Code from remote - Assuming i combine all the data into 1 string for the code?.

any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my code for the IR & ESP8285 module.

— EDIT —
Apologies, Forgot to mention i managed to successfully test this with an LG remote control powering up and down my LG TV changing a small section of code CODE SEGMENT BELOW.

OK, so i have managed to repair the remote control & have managed to take a raw readings of all the controls.

How do i intemperate the raw data / how do i transmit the data back to the AC unit?.

From what i can see [ & i may be wrong ], I have reced 2 different codes split up?..
