Problems with Sony IR

[phlash13]

I had to change the following code in "ZGatewayIR.ino" from if (strstr(topicOri, "IR_Sony") != NULL){ irsend.sendSony(data, 12); signalSent = true;

to

if (strstr(topicOri, "IR_Sony") != NULL){ irsend.sendSony(data, 15, 3); signalSent = true;

Because my Sony AVR relies on having IR signals repeated 3 times (this is the last parameter...) and uses 15bit signals...

Maybe you could generalize the function a bit more, or is there a way to tell how many repetitions and which bit-length to use via MQTT?

there is not at this time, but it's a good idea I will add it

This actually is an issue in the IRremote library rather than openMQTTGateway see this issue: https://github.com/markszabo/IRremoteESP8266/issues/124

This was an issue with IRremote, and as you can see from my example it works with the additional parameter (which isn't used by openMQTTGateway...)! In addition to that openMQTTGateway uses fixed bit lengths which also isn't that great...

U R right @phlash13.

@phlash13 could you close the issue if it is OK for you
