Ifeel mode #124

Closed drynish closed 6 months ago

drynish commented 2 years ago

There's a mode that is available on my remote control for my gree extreme split heat pump. The mode named ifeel, makes the remote the sensor for the temperature. This way, I can place the remote in a more center zone of the house. The heat pump is also working longer since it's not considering the temperature in the same zone where it's installed.

I would like to add a binary sensor to activate this mode like the actual x-fan, health or light.

As far as I know this is not possible through the API, the only way to activate ifeel and send temperature is through the IR interface. Some people use an Arduino that pretends to be the remote to control ifeel without actually using the remote.

I don't want to imitate the info from the remote. I just want to activate the option so that the ifeel option would be activated and info would come from the remote.

I'm just not sure if I play with settings over the gree that the ifeel option stay on.

That's why I would like to activate it.

Can we something do, in order to help with this request ?

Im also struggling with this option and it would be gamechanger... There isnt option to (at least) TURN ON "I Feel Mode" and measure the temperature from ACs Remote Controller instead of its bulit in sensor via integration.

Feel free to create a PR for this. I'm closing this for now because its not in the current scope.
