[bkcberry]

I am on the latest release from here, and HA 2021.12.4. When i try to use HA to change the AC set point or turn it on or off, most of the time it just switches to self clean mode, but sometimes if try it several times it will start working. Config below, any ideas?

First of all you need to check if your unit is supported by IRremoteESP8266.

Im having same issue it sends the command to the ac but it turn the ac into sc mode and if you change the temp it turns off the ac Its a Carrier AC with Midea Protocol

It looks like this was a known issue and has been solved in IRremoteESP8266 here https://github.com/crankyoldgit/IRremoteESP8266/pull/1959

Although as it doesn't seem to be in a release yet, I'm assuming it'll need to be compiled manually into a new Tasmota-IR firmware, and I'm having a hard time figuring out the toolchain required to do that.

I changed that device to esphome and its working fine the midea A/C, I prefer this integration as you can send a whole command, with the esp you need to set all apart, like fan speed and temp will be two commands But for now its working with esphome...

tried with tasmota ir 12.5.0 and the problem is still there, let me know if you make a custom firmware that works please

[jbrandek]

ok I made a custom firmware and its working

Attached if anyone needs it (Im not an expert, just followed a youtube video to make it) tasmota-ir-midea.bin.gz

@hristo-atanasov i think you can close this, it has been fixed in tasmota 13.1.0
