I was going to write a @home_assistant integration for my aircon.
Then I found that project, and figured maybe I didn't have to.
Still going to do it.
I just... don't understand how multiple people contributing to a project end up (manually!) capturing thousands of IR codes from remotes to make this work and don't stop and think that there might be a better way.
I'm interested ... is it possible in simple words to explain how it could be done? Isn't it necessary to try the keys one by one anyway?
Aircon remotes don't send keycodes, they have a screen and keep track of the current settings on the remote, then transfer the entire state to the aircon. The right way to do this is to reverse engineer the packet format and figure out where mode, temp, fan speed, etc go.
On the bright side, you have plenty of packet data to work with. :P
Maybe you can look at the codes and determine how they work vs starting from scratch? I mean it’s essentially a crapload of packet captures right?
Yeah, it would be fairly easy to go from the captures to simple algorithms for building packets, though you'd lose out on all the features they *didn't* capture because it would be too many combinations.
