Airwell - toggling power on every state change

[mbrevda]

Version/revision of the library used

2.8.6

Describe the bug

Airwell commands all toggle power - even when it's already on.

To Reproduce

See sample code, triggered like

curl -X PUT -d '{"temp":23,"power":true,"mode":1,"power":true}' 192.168.1.51/state

When sending this multiple times, power will toggle on and off

What brand/model IR demodulator are you using?

Athom IR

I have followed the steps in the Troubleshooting Guide & read the FAQ

Yes

Has this library/code previously worked as expected for you?

no

[mbrevda]

Playing around with this a bit more, I noticed that after receiving a power on, subsequent commands are perceived as power off. Perhaps the encoding/decoding is slightly off for this remote?

[NiKiZe]

A toggle means that the AC should switch state (this is for those that implements a horrible protocol on their ACs) Other ACs has a state for power.

Not exactly following where the issue is perceived. In the server you are using. (Code which I don't really have time to try and understand) is the power toggle set or not?

You will have to make sure it doesn't set the power toggle on each command.

[mbrevda]

The main line is this:

ac.setPowerToggle(true);

Calling it (or setting temp or mode.) toggels the power mode, it doesn't set the AC to on. Interestingly, setting ac.setPowerToggle(false); does seem to consistently turn off the ac.

You will have to make sure it doesn't set the power toggle on each command.

But how?

[NiKiZe]

Then you need to collect data from your original remote to see if they have introduce a power state (and not just the toggle)

That is collecting the code for both power on and off as well as some more data, then comparing each bit to what is known to figure out exactly what is needed.

[jbrandek]

This happen to me also with a Whirlpool AC it does not follow what normally does a AC Power on command in other ACs will make the power goes on does not matter state, with this ACs a power on command will toggle the AC

[NiKiZe]

@jbrandek how are you using the library? If the protocol only supports power toggle, then the toggle needs to be sent or not based on the "known state", if the wanted state is on and "known" is off then the toggle needs to be sent, so you need to track this or use the internal states that does the tracking for you.
