IR Sensor/Blaster with HA



  • Looking into MyMessage.h I see that
    S_IR = 20, //!< IR device, V_IR_SEND, V_IR_RECEIVE
    also I downloaded a sample sketch from here https://www.mysensors.org/build/ir
    and saw that they changed V_IR_SEND to V_IR_RECEIVE.
    I tried with both and still HA doesn't recognize the IR sensor.
    Here is the debug log.

  • To my understanding the record function is not available and the IR sensor is not a sensor, it's a service in a switch domain called
    mysensors_send_ir_code.


  • Plugin Developer

    Everything in the log looks good, except you don't send an initial value for the IR sensor or switch.

    Have you read the docs about presenting a mysensors sensor in home assistant?
    https://home-assistant.io/components/mysensors/#presentation

    Also it's best to start with the relevant example sketch in the mysensors docs at homeassistant.io, when trying a new component/platform. Then when you see that the example sketch is working, you modify it to match your desired behavior. The mysensors implementation in home assistant has some requirements that are not always met in the default example sketches in the mysensors library, particularly sending of initial values. That's why we've added the example sketches in the homeassistant docs for mysensors.

    This is the example sketch for the IR sensor/switch. It should create one IR sensor and one IR switch (Edit: NOTE it's written for mysensors 1.5).
    https://home-assistant.io/components/switch.mysensors/#ir-switch-sketch

    The V_IR_RECORD type is not yet available in home assistant. I can add this but I haven't looked into this type yet so much. It seems it should be very similar to V_IR_SEND, ie the controller should be able to send codes as payload using this sub-type.

    If my gateway is v2.0.X will the samples created for 1.5 work?


  • Plugin Developer

    No, not directly. You have to update the sketch to use 2.0 API, according to eg this guide:
    https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/4276/converting-a-sketch-from-1-5-x-to-2-0-x

    Also take note of how initial values have to be sent as mentioned here:
    https://home-assistant.io/components/mysensors/#presentation

    If you update the example for 2.0, please repost it here, and I can update the docs, or even better make a PR directly to the docs at homeassistant.io.
