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

[mihalski]

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.

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]

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.

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.

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

[mihalski]

See #257

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

[davidelang]

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

[mihalski]

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

[davidelang]

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]

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

[davidelang]

is the code in the IR library now?

[mihalski]

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]

will be implemented in next release
