Remote_Receiver

ESPHome

I can’t seem to get an IR Receiver to activate the Home Assistant switch.toggle service from an ESP32DevKit board while it works fine from and ESP8266.

This is the code on the 8266 that works with no issues:

remote_receiver:
  filter: 50us
  pin: 
    number: GPIO0
    inverted: true
  dump:
  - pioneer: {}
  
binary_sensor:
  - platform: remote_receiver
    name: "Office Plant Lights"
#   Remote Button '1'
    internal: true
    on_release:
      homeassistant.service:
        service: switch.toggle
        data:
          entity_id: switch.office_plants
    filters:
      - delayed_off: 100ms
    pioneer:
      rc_code_1: 0x000C

And this is what doesn’t work on the ESP32

remote_receiver:
  filter: 50us
  pin: 
    number: GPIO36
    inverted: true
  dump: 
  - pioneer: {}

binary_sensor:
  - platform: remote_receiver
    name: "Office Plant Lights"
#   Remote Button '7'
    internal: true
    on_release:
      homeassistant.service:
        service: switch.toggle
        data:
          entity_id: switch.office_plants
    filters:
      - delayed_off: 100ms
    pioneer:
      rc_code_1: 0x0042

This is using the same remote, just a different button to toggle the switch. The Logs show the “Office Plant Light” binary sensor is triggered, just seems the homeassistant.service isn’t getting triggered from the EPS32.

[15:48:38][D][binary_sensor:036]: 'Office Plant Lights': Sending state ON
[15:48:38][D][binary_sensor:036]: 'Office Plant Lights': Sending state OFF

What am I missing on the ESP32 to make this work?

Have you added the esp32 to the home assistant integration?

It was added but I found this not checked.

Ah yes, thats a fairly new thing and I tend to forget about it! Fixed now?

Yep. All’s good now.

I know that wasn’t there when I setup my original devices in 2021. Whenever they added the feature it must default to be checked for existing devices but not checked for new ones.
