I think I'm missing some context. I have a Mitsubishi heat pump that I want to control, but what hardware do I need?
Please bear with me. I'm new to Arduino... This project is for Arduino, correct?
The README.md says:
A python port has been made to be compatible with Raspberry Pi
Can I then use a Raspberry Pi without an Arduino? But then what hardware do I need to actually send the IR signals? I already have a USB Infrared Toy v2 lying around. And does it have to be a Raspberry Pi or can I use it with any PC?
Or do I need an Arduino also?
There is a "HVAC_Broadlink" folder supporting a Broadlink IR RM2. SendHVACCmdToRM2.py says:
I'ts a template/code example, no ther pretention
So I guess that is not what I should be using. There is also a "HVAC_ESP8266" folder which says:
I have used ESP 8266 ESP-12 Module
And then I connect an IR LED via a transistor to the ESP 8266 ESP-12 Module "somehow"?

So which of these does one need?
... a little overwhelmed ...
