Make your Infrared controlled air conditioner smarter

[@SuperKnightwind]

thank you for this!! but how many AC units we can control? I think not all GPIO esp32 can be used for this

[@kian.smarthome]

Hi, Not all GPIOs but the ones that van be use as input and output. there are :PIN4,13,16,17,18,19,21,22,23,25,26 ,27,32,33. For more details search pinout of your board.

[@tamildesan837]

Also this IR transmitters have to be line of sight. If multiple ACs of same brand/protocol are in same area then they all will operate based on the single transmitter. If you have different sides then you may deploy the IR transmitters in parallel.

[@kian.smarthome]

@@tamildesan837 Yes, You mentioned a very good point. In this case you'd better use IR emitter than Blaster. If you use IR Emitter, you must stick it to receiver as its range is very short.

[@محمدرزق-ح1ح]

thanks for you if AC not in list in the table how to learn ir remote

Watch the video more carefully

[@bunnybiteschannel413]

Hi kian.smarthome. I have follow everything that you show in this video. So far I manage to add it to esphome and climate entity to thermostat Lovelace. The problem is I can’t send a signal to turn on my Daikin air-con. I try to use the remote control to send to ir receiver, it can capture a signal but in the Lovelace it doesn’t change value too. Is there anything that I miss? I’m new to esphome. Can you help. Thank you so much.

[@kian.smarthome]

Hi, first of all check your YAML file to see if there is any warning. usually around save button. Mostly by organizing / arranging lines warnings vanish

[@samiraslan9735]

Thanks! Do you mind updating sensors link? It's not workin. Aliexpress or any international delivery would be appreciated

[@kian.smarthome]

You are welcome. By a little search you can find new ones.

I want to do it with blynk app instead of esp Home & home assistant ?

[@kian.smarthome]

I will start uploading videos about Blynk soon

[@Lisas4us]

Nice and well done, but I do not want to start with home assistant to set the settings of my a/c. Unfortunately All but one IR blaster miss the point. Yours as well. Thats why these beautiful projects go unrecognized. Please let me explain. Most IR Blaster projects focus on connectabillity and not on smartness. Sure we need a small server on the esp to set the settings. But also we need a section on the code that states the names of the variables for each button and the send variable. to update the settings of the a/c acording to our own code we add in the free space of the code to set the variables. To finally give the entire blastter idea a reason. Smartness via if statements and sensors. F.e. If light is on and temperature is under 15 degree turn on the heater. If light is off and temperature is above 15 degree turn off a/c. and so on. Thats what all the nice and complex examples on youtube are missing, the reasy and open door to add our own code to give such a device purpose. Cheers, Lisa

[@kian.smarthome]

Thanks a lot for your feed back. I will take it into consideration soon❤❤💫💫

[@wesmulder9592]

Great video. Helps me to get my head around the system as a whole. One question, when using the external temperature sensor, does this over ride the heat pumps own internal sensor for regulating its output? Or is it only for use within home assistant?

[@kian.smarthome]

Good question. No it is for monitoring as the system uses its internal sensor

Hello, I want to control my Ac in a way that, when I was coming towards office I can on it and so when i reached office after 10 minutes it already cooled the room. How I can I do this please guide me

[@kian.smarthome]

Hi, Do you have Home Assistant in your office? Have you built this device? I need to know what IOT devices and platform you have in your Office?

[@kian.smarthome]

If you do not have any smart device in your office and only want to control your AC, a Broadlink ca do that.

@@kian.smarthome by using node MCU,

[@yawarabbas9228]

We had our own cloud base water management system where we , automate suction and overhead tank motor and monitors and control by using app and also client can control it from anywhere in the world, but One of our client demand that is it possible to control my ac from my home so I can't start it before reach at my office so , office room get already cooled before reaching, I think that by using IR and node MCU it can be done, plz guide me about that and also how can I connect this device to our cloud

[@kian.smarthome]

@@yawarabbas9228 For sure you can do it. To help you I have to know what your cloud system is? tell me about it, Is it a DIY cloud system or a known one ....

Pay more attention to video you will find it

Could You add a temperature sensor to this device to make it like a thermosthat?

[@kian.smarthome]

Yes, Watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epCYdZiVYr6Cbqs

Do you have link to code program? Link you give can not open

[@Shayth-]

What about resistance for transmitter? Usually, transmitter need 5V, but esp can give only 3.3V Great video!

[@kian.smarthome]

Follow the steps. ESP also has 5 V DC pin.

[@AsifChettiyanThodi]

Anyone know Carrier AC 42SFL7B3A using which Protocol?

[@kian.smarthome]

Can anyone help?

[@nawafbana8100]

Thank you for nice video.. I did it for my Fujitsu air conditioner it is working fine, how can I have more range and distance? do I need resistor for both transmitter and receiver? if yes what is the size please

[@kian.smarthome]

You can't increase the range.

[@nawafbana8100]

I have 8 ACs. and working fine after seeing your video :), Do you know how can I add preset please ?

[@kian.smarthome]

I am so glad that my videos are helpful. What exactly do you mean by preset?

[@nawafbana8100]

@kian.smarthome When cut the power of from AC from the main switch and it goes off the status will be undefined, after turn on the AC and the electric came back the defaul mode will be cool/heat, I need the default mode to be only cool, I searched about it I found in esphome code: preset to change the default to the desired mode, but not working for me 😞

[@kian.smarthome]

@@nawafbana8100 you must find it in setting of your AC device, or find the command of your AC machine/device/system.

Can you please show wiring diagram?

[@steffenfasig7333]

Hello, a very insightful video. I have Panasonic air conditioners. Do you know if there is also a platform (IR-Remote) for this? I have already read the IR codes from the remote control using an ESP32 IR receiver and then sent them via WiFi via an IR transmitter, unfortunately this did not work. 😞

[@kian.smarthome]

Hi, I am glad my videos are helpful. Send me your codes to check them. receiving the IR signal, do you get it as "Panasonic"?

[@steffenfasig7333]

@@kian.smarthome Thank you for your answer and effort. Unfortunately, there are no Panasonic codes that I could read. I had read these out as pronto codes. I had received various functions as a Panasonic code when I read them out with "all", but did not even receive a Panasonic code when switching on (on/off button) the AC. Neither the Pronto Codes received nor the Panasonic Codes produced any action on the AC. Apparently Panasonic has cooked its own soup. Greetings Steffen
