Esp8266 as an ir transmitter questions

---

Most remotes for AC’s send the entire set of information, not just ON or OFF but also fanspeed, temperature and mode (heat, cool, etc).
I can’t remember the exact setting for my Einhell, but it switches the AC to on and cool. No clue what temperature

@koffienl Yeah indeed, thats kind off a small problem but it’s ok.

Thanks guys for all your answers, i got it working “perfectly”!

Hi !@koffienl

I just registered to this forum to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your codes, I spent the whole afternoon yesterday trying to send IR signals to my A/C to turn it off/on using the nodemcu esp8266 with an IR led connected to GPIO pin and none of the codes that I was sending (previously recorded with an IR receiver were working…) until I found your long string and that made it

I used this POST:

Thanks a lot man

Nice to hear Even though if you are not using pimatic do you?

Hello,

I would like to turn on my radio and samsung tv with ir and espimatic. I use espimatic for temp and relays and works very nice. Its great work. But now i have tried to use to send ir code to the tv but from pimatic i cannot getting the hole raw code to my receiver on a arduino uno. I use a rule and sending a raw code from a variable:

execute "sudo curl  --silent --data 'action=ir&value=$tvuit' http://192.168.1.19/api > /dev/null" 

and my variable is:

{4550,4300, 650,1550, 700,1500, 700,1500, 650,400, 700,350, 700,400, 700,350, 650,450, 600,1550, 700,1500, 700,1500, 650,450, 650,350, 750,350, 650,400, 700,350, 650,450, 650,400, 650,400, 700,350, 700,1500, 650,400, 700,400, 700,350, 650,1550, 650,1550, 700,1500, 650,1550, 700,400, 650,1500, 650,1550, 700,1500, 650}

When i send the code with pimatic i receive strange little codes on my uno with a receiver. I think someting is going wrong from pimatic to the esp8266. Maybe someone knows what the problem is.

Thanks.

EDIT: @ghv I have edited your post as it was difficult to read. Please have a look at the following for future posts. Thanks!
https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/1179/how-to-post-code-snippets-and-alike-on-the-forum

@ghv your variable is wrong. Remove the “{” at the beginning and the “}” at the end. Also remove every space inbetween the pulses.

So example;

412,234,567,891,012,283

Quick tip, open with wordpad, ctrl h, search for space, leave replace with empty, replace all.

Thanks for help and reply. I changed the variable but after that I had stil not a good code. I have tried man things and it cost me a lot of time. I have ordered 3 esp8266 so I took another esp8266. With the other one it works. Its not a strong signal but it sends the right code. I have read that the esp8266 not realy like to send ir. But for me its now working and getting every thing on the places and in pimatic. Great and thanks.

@ghv i have great experience with a Broadlink RM Mini3. Its available on aliexpress for aprox 15 euro. Ive written a tutorial on integrating it with pimatic.

very nice job. Maybe i am going to use it.
Thanks
