Heatpump controller

[Fredrik Carlsson]

@ToniA
Hey, thanks for all the work you have put down. I have had some other projects going the last year so have not really put down more time on this.

How is it working with the sensebender? Are you using it on batteries?
Any ide about battery usage?

[ToniA]

I just got it running on Sensebender today, on my desk. The problem is that this is not a 'sensor', but an 'actuator'. So it needs to listen to the radio all the time. I believe it would not run on batteries for too long.

I was asking about how to power the Sensebender in another thread, but didn't yet get any real answers. So let's try once more:

What kind of schema should I use to power the Sensebender (with NRF24), provided that I have +5V DC available, and I have a bunch of different capacitors and 'LE33ACZ 5V-3.3V Step Down Regulators'?

[Fredrik Carlsson]

Hello
It would be nice to make it run on batteries, maybe with 10 seconds sleep, and then wake up only to check with gateway if there is a new command and then sleep again.

I am building a pir sensor now based on 3*aa batteris running on 4,5 volt.I will ust use an LE33 step down directly after the battery pack to provide power to both sensebender+radio+pir. Dont know if that is the optimal way to do it but it should work

@ToniA Hi, do you have a guide on how to set up Domoticz with this example? I understand enough about mysensors and domoticz to be dangerous but i dont get how Domoticz can send the right command....

[ToniA]

Take a look at this topic on the Domoticz forum: http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=8751

[bjacobse]

@SGi
Hi,
I have created the wiki:
https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/AC_/_heatpumpIR

Everything is based in Toni's great effort :-)
I also first used the mysensors Arduino, but since I am still using "old" mysensors ver 1.5.4 (And currently I don't have time to upgrade to latest and greatest, which support text based commands)
Then I have taken same approach as Toni and use Wemos D1 Mini Pro that uses HTTP or MQTT wifi

[moskovskiy82]

@ToniA

Thanks for the library it's great. I can also confirm that it works with Fujitsu remote AR-REB1E out of the box.

Trying to integrate this into HomeAssistant and just do not know where to start. Is there any example how to post a whole string of commands for the air cond via mysensors-MQTT?

[moskovskiy82]

So nobody is using it this with MQTT gateway?

[gohan]

@bjacobse if I have a new Daikin heat pump with a newer remote that is not in the library, I guess I'm out of luck, right?

[bjacobse]

@moskovskiy82
hi, I'm not using the MQTT with mysensors
I think you should direct your questions to a HomeAssistant forum.
My setup uses Wemos D1 Mini Pro and Domoticz

[bjacobse]

@gohan
Please use the github for heatpump to ask you question, as I assume that Toni mostly is checking that. It seems that there 2 different Daikin heatpumps supported

https://github.com/ToniA/arduino-heatpumpir

[moskovskiy82]

@bjacobse Can you elaborate a little more on how you wired things up?
Also how you combined the libs and compiled everything for easyESP?
Have a sonoff with easyESP and docs are not that clear how to that stuff

[bjacobse]

@moskovskiy82
I took 5v from the heatpump, mine is an IVT, I took it from the Ir receive, soldered 2wires, one GND and on for 5V and drilled a hole on the plastic casing, and then I had power for the Wemos D1 Mini Pro module.
Then 100 Ohm resister in series with the Irda LED 940nm Ir LED, connected to GPio16/D0 on the Wemos module.

Downlaod the ESPEASYT files + download Tonis heatpump /P115 lib and put it in same Arduino IDE, compile it all together

[Ispandy]

I want to make heatpumpIR, but after trying to send the signal using simple.ino sketch to my Sharp A/C nothing happened. Confused where to start ....

[bjacobse]

@Ispandy
did you look at the previous comment?
to make it easy for you, then don't use mysensors with Arduino for this, it's too difficult to setup, but instead use the Wemos and ESPEASY using your WIFI

http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/AC_/_heatpumpIR

[moskovskiy82]

@bjacobse There is nothing difficult in setting it up. Just connect the irda to the 3rd PWM leg

[bjacobse]

@moskovskiy82
I certainly agree, I assume your comment actually was meant to Ispandy ;-)
