Unknown protocol IR

ESPHome
1

Hello I have an Inventum Aircooler.
I used esphome codes but the jvc, lg, nec and pioneer codes that are received did not work when transmitted back. Tests with a colorbulb remote where working so the setup is ok.

I used the receive code from
Arduino Tutorial: IR Transmitter and IR Receiver (HX-M121, HX-53, KY-005, KY-022, Keyes, Iduino, Open Smart,...) - Michael Schoeffler and I get the next line

Protocol=PULSE_DISTANCE Address=0x0 Command=0x0 Extra=0xA20 Raw-Data=0xF807 48 bits LSB first

When I read https://github.com/Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote#protocolpulse_distance this meanse I should send 2 codes (32-bits and 16-bits)?
Can this be accomplished with esphome transmitter code?

2

Did you try all AC ESPhome is able to handle right now ? (Daikin, Mitsubishi…) If none of them works you might not be able to control it ! AC system uses multiple codes and basically resend all datas each time you change a setting which makes it impossible to capture :frowning:

3

Lucky you esphome also supports raw codes - you should at least try them :wink:

4

It’s a Inventum vto812wa Towerfan so not exactly an AC.

5

I will try that, but maybe this could be a trigger to add an extra option if the used protocol could be found.

6

You’ll know it when you start to capture remote ! ESPHome will automatically tells you if he recognises a known format when you capture in RAW mode :wink:

7

You mean dump: all? This option replied with jvc,lg, nec and pioneer but those al don’t work when I send them with the transmitter.

8

Not sure if it helps, but had a look at SmartIR?
It also supports ESPhome :wink:

9

Share your logs during capture and also when you try to send these codes please !

I changed the dump to raw and used those values in the transmitter-part. No luck still non response from the towerfan.

remote_receiver:
  pin:
    number: D1
    inverted: true  
  dump: raw

remote_transmitter:
  pin: D2

You have similar results with my last capture of a remote of Oppo Bluray player. I used the NEC code and it worked fine ! Can you give it a try ? raw code is more random in term of results based on my experience…
Can you share a picture of the remote itself ?

13

I tried NEC code again but no luck. I add also code for a colorbulb and that is reacting so nothing wrong with the transmitter. Maybe I leave it as it is. The fan is only used on very hot days so not very often. :slight_smile: Thanks for the help. Greatly appriciated.
