new feature (iFeel request) #63

aux and under-panel air conditioners have a function called "ifeel". In practice, once the button is pressed, the remote control (which has an integrated temperature sensor) sends the read temperature to the indoor unit. In this way the air conditioner works better since it knows the real temperature we perceive. Would it be possible to replicate this function by sending data from a home assistant or esphome sensor?

Unfortunately, AUX-based air conditioners don't have this feature for wifi dongle. It works only with IR signal. At least we didn't find that opportunity. In the protocol itself, it seems like we found bytes responsible for iFeal feature, but it didn't work. By the way, with IR remote this function also isn't working normally. As a result, the community decided that we would exclude this feature from the project. So if someone need to control air conditioner with the external temperature sensor, it can write automation in home assistant and simply adjust the target temperature from automation.
