They should have a logic inside, you just need to set the temperature and turn on: no need to turn on-off-on, actually its worse if you do that.

On another note, you air condition your garage at night?

413

My garage is fully insulated. It has woodworking tools with cast iron work surfaces (table saw, band saw, jointer). No rust allowed from sweat! :slight_smile: So yes, I keep it somewhat cool (78 deg F would be ideal). And sometimes I work at night. I don’t have scheduled work hours for this retired guy. :slight_smile:

Ok well, which temperature you have outside? If you need to cool down TO 78, means very high temperatures outside.
I think the best way, on long term, is insulate the outside (or inside) , roof and walls, with very thick material, like 12cm

Thanks. It is insulated. 11 inches in the ceiling, normal 4 inches in the walls w/energy efficient door.
Last night at 5:24PM, I turned off the SmartIR control and switched to the MRCOOL remote with the AC set on Auto/78 degrees. It appears it is doing the same type of logic control. That means my custom json file is accurate as far as I can tell.

The outside temp is rising, and so is the inside. According to the graph, the temps are indicating the same pattern. So, I think I will play with Node_red, and set up an automation to turn on/off the AC unit itself at night when the temp is dropping down into the low 70’s. No need for that. Then turn it on when it rises above 75 and let the AC unit take control on AUTO. I will report back on the results. Here is the current graph. Last night it dropped to 73.5 F. Currently it is 90 outside.

How I can do a similar binary_sensor to understand if my climate is on?
With the following I understand only if it in dry state, but I’d like to understand in general when it is on

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      condizionatore_stato:
        friendly_name: "Stato Condizionatore"
        value_template: "{{ is_state('climate.Argo', 'dry') }}"

Thanks

Hi guys, I’ve read nothing about delonghi A/C units. Don’t they use IR as well? Is there any chance you could integrate their units as well?

428

I’m really sorry. I had a problem with a circuit tripping in my house that I had to deal with so didn’t get to this for you. I’m back at work for a another week so will look at it again in a weeks time.

I need help finding Base64 codes for YB1FA and RC08B AC remote controls
Where should I be looking for these?

Thanks

430

Do you have the actual remote? You can learn the codes from the remote using HA

431

I have but it’s not working, it’s broken.

432

all good, I was asking @friendodevil. I’ll make sure to get the codes for you next weekend @kirpat
