Screen toggle switch does not work for AC #87

Closed poldim closed 7 months ago

poldim commented 2 years ago

Version of the custom_component

v0.8.12

Configuration

Configured via UI

Describe the bug

The switch for controlling the screen (I'm assuming that is what this does) does not appear to work. After I went in and enabled it, it does not fully initialize and actually become usable.

The "LED" button on my remote does correctly toggle the LED display on the front of the AC.

FancyNerd92 commented 1 year ago

Apparently, this only works if you have an IR blaster wired in on the same device. IMO, this should be disabled by default. But not sure if there are other devices where it works out of the box without the IR blaster.

I have several AG2LITE-09NXD0-I and this didn't work before but out of nowhere I decided to retry and worked. Not sure if was a component or AC firmware update

Good to know.

Adding the IR emitter wasn't hard, just wish it was documented somewhere so I didn't have to try stuff before figuring it out. Now if only I could figure out how to permanently disable the beeper.....

There's a Prompt Tone switcher that always worked. Have you tried it?

Nothing can turn off the screen light. Please add it, it same to use the "remote" just for that! We have 2024, we have brand new ACs and we play with "remotes" from 90s!

@poldim the beeper switch it works, but if you don't want every time you restart HA open again, make an automation with "HA Start" as trigger and put your ACs to turn off beeper from start so it will be always on mute! ;)

Coming back to this... sorry for the silence.

Check the pic below. Both tone and display are working with my units.

From other forums, it appears that LED control is not exposed through API. You need to add an IR blaster and then it works.
