Hi
I have been searching if this cable can be used like the cn105 for Mitsubishi devices, but so far I only found libraries for daikin that use IR. Is there really no other way than IR?
Hi All,
Library can be found here:
GitHub
It contains a test ino to test the library and a ino to work with mysensors.
If you have any comments and or questions please dont hesitate to ask/comment.
Thanks to all of you who helped in this topic and especially to @joker_mkd who donated his gree code document.
Ok, I was thinking that I could ask the state of the message S_LIGHT at every wake up,
and if it changes, do my IR sending ...
But it seems to not work.
I guess for this, the problem is on the controller side, after send the command, without acknowledge , it give up and let the state of the button unchanged.
Always on means power supply, This sensor must also get temperature, so I don't want to put it anywhere ...
anyway thanks for you help

I have seen an arduino library somewhere to control different types of AC units, I even think it was mentioned on the forum,( half a year ago).
Indeed - this proves it is possible https://www.cooking-hacks.com/documentation/tutorials/control-hvac-infrared-devices-from-the-internet-with-ir-remote/ With a bit more legwork (e.g. https://github.com/r45635/HVAC-IR-Control), I am confident that IR Blaster will be able to support HVAC units. Heck (pun intended), it wouldn't be fun if there weren't any challenges
NOTE: Given that we plan to provide HVAC control in the IR Blaster, should we merge this discussion into the IR Blaster thread?
@kiesel You are welcome! - We are all here to learn!
As to my code, here is the thread with the problems I had and how I fixed them....

I am still tinkering around the edges and I expect a final version to be about a week away. It is mostly getting it all the way I want it now!
@mfalkvidd Yes, I understand that 253 is the software limit. I was wondering about the hardware limit.
For example, my Asus router has a software limit of 253 devices. But when I get 20-25 WiFi devices trying to connect, the network goes haywire. (pun intended ) I am quite convinced that this is a hardware limitation of the router because the router has to carry some information about each connection.
If the gateway is dumb, that is, carries no information about any connection, then it could truly have 253 connections. After a bit of contemplation, I realize that the name, gateway, implies this.
If that is the case, it is good news for the DiY'er in that this very inexpensive and cheap hardware could stand in for a LoRaWAN, again, with a number of compromises.
