Any chance of extending the IRremote code with Mitsubishi aircon support? #83

Hi,

Any chance of adding support for Mitsubishi Air conditioning remotes? It would be fantastic in conjunction with the temp/humidity monitoring. There is code available at https://github.com/r45635/HVAC-IR-Control.

Regards, Michal

mihalski commented 7 years ago

Nobody here has a Mitsubishi Electric air conditioning unit? I've managed to test the library I linked to on an ESP8266 and it does work.

Here's a more specific link:

https://github.com/r45635/HVAC-IR-Control/blob/master/HVAC_ESP8266/HVAC_ESP8266.ino

Maybe if that could be added as a protocol to choose from? "MitsubishiHVAC" ? And then you can send the settings rather than the codes via console/MQTT. i.e. something along the lines of:

IRSend { "protocol": "MitsubishiHVAC", "Mode": COLD, "Temp": 23, "Fan": Silent, "Vanne": Auto, "WideVanne": Middle, "Area": Swing, "Power": On }

Regards, Michal

I have Mitcubishi air coniditioning unit. Will check this thread regularly

mihalski commented 7 years ago

I've prompted a contributor of the IR lib to have a look into adding the Mitsubishi support there so maybe we'll get it via that if not directly in this firmware.

It would probably a better solution ultimately as it would let both projects focus on their own projects.

altelch commented 7 years ago

That would be a better Solution. Problem might be that Arduino includes a forked version of this lib. But after Theo including the libs in a separate folder thats easy to overcome.

FYI.

davidelang commented 7 years ago

I've seen e-mails on this topic, has it been fixed yet?

mihalski commented 7 years ago

See https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/pull/257

It is fully working (short of supporting a temp of 16C on the remote), but that's not a significant issue.

davidelang commented 7 years ago

That's what I thought, but I wanted to confirm before closing it.

mihalski commented 7 years ago

Mind you. It still hasn't been added in the official firmware :/

davidelang commented 7 years ago

is there value in keeping this issue open until it is added?

Is the delay in getting it upstream or getting the newer upstream version into tasmota?

mihalski commented 7 years ago

I honestly don't know what the reason for the delay is.

davidelang commented 7 years ago

is the code in the IR library now?

mihalski commented 7 years ago

Yes. It has been since the 0.2 release 26 days ago.

They're now on 1.0.2 and working well with the Arduino library package manager updating.

arendst commented 7 years ago

will be implemented in next release
