    A small test of the output of P26, IROur, BK7231T was carried out.
    In relay mode, the output is 0.
    In relay mode, the inversion is output 1, about 0.8 volts on the transistor bases.
    IRSend mode - output 0, does not respond to commands in any way, everything is OK in the logs.
    When rebooting, the output is a meander with a frequency of 11.5 hertz.
    There is no reaction to the commands at the exit.

    I just checked mine (whilst checking NEC-0x0-0x1a-0x1) and it pulses nicely.
    I'm not on the exact same device, min is T LED strip, IRSend drive red leds, so can't confirm IR is perfect, but flashes look good.
    P.S. just pur a PR in so you can send like [IRsend NEC-0-1a] ,[IRsend NEC-0-1a-2], [IRsend NEC 0 1a], [IRsend NEC 0 1a 3],
    and implemented repeats (currently no repeats on .123 firmware.

    Are you sure you have the right pin?

    11 hz is odd... not even 38khz carrier from PWM.
    You rebooted after config?

    Added after 7 [minutes]:

    Confirmed on my N IRblaster to output IR, and work (not necessarily well!!!!) with my Roku box - command was
    IRSend NEC-0xC2EA-0x19-0
    For 'up'. Roku receives 1/3 - so not good.
    Any help appreciated (maybe we change duty cycle of PWM? So when you have the T output running, looking at the waveform would be good... to confirm carrier freq is OK, and examine framing).

    Any pin, if assigned as IRSend, outputs a meander after reboot.
    What channel number should be assigned to the IRSend output?

    Channel numbers are currently ignored for IR pins. It doesn't matter which channel number you set.

    On this module, the meander is unchanged when the IR transmission is activated.
    I'll try it on another module later.

    This is 100% this output - if I bind the button and designate it as a relay - switches like a relay.

    Hmm... picture of the exact BK chip? And start of bootlog (i.e. log BEFORE our boot, then up to ~10s with IR driver enabled at startup?)
    Maybe there is a version without PWM....
    ohhh... you don't have PWM outputs enabled? If so try without. Surely each PWM pin is linked to an exact PWM channel number - so there cannot be a conflict.

    Does the device have IRRecv - if so does it work? (would prove 20khz timer was running, required for TX.).
    Hmm2... maybe TX does not work unless Rx is enabled!!! Ensure you have an RX pin.... did not think of that, and can't check right now....

    @omelchuk890 I see you have your MAC cleared. Most likely your TLV header is also lost. You can consider going to Web App, Flash tab, and using new "Restore RF Partition" button. It is not tested much but should work. Do only if you have (in worst case) flashing wires handy. But I think it should work.

    @btsimonh @p.kaczmarek2
    I had the reception input disabled, it wasn't there at all. The reason is the reception of interference in the form of the RC5 protocol.
    After the appointment of Irrecv, everything worked.

    How can I disable the RC5 protocol reception?
    Look at my posts in this topic - everything is shown there.

    good news. Have added to the issue in github.

    Please let us know how successful your TX is? Mine is currently not reliable.
    And if you can help with signal anlaysis (freq, framing checking).

    @btsimonh how many protocols do we have?
    What about dedicating a single 32 bit integer from config memory for a 'IR filter', each bit can be 1 or 0, and each bit would correspond to given IR protocol (with 32 protos limit, is it enough?).
    That way users would be able to filter the unwanted protocols from receiving.

    there are certainly < 32
    we can add commands IRRxDisable <name>?
    then they can go in autoexec... or startup line.

    I think I'd prefer GUI. I've been also thinking how to make it as lightweight as possible, maybe we could add a GUI on VUE app and in binary just place the rest interface.
    If there are < 32, then we can just dedicate a single integer to all the flags.
    But certainly we need a page with checkboxes, maybe on that VUE, it's way easier than commands.

    We can assume that the IR Protocol <-> Index mapping won't change, right? If so, then bit flags are a way to go.

    instead of the real input on which the IR receiver has installed the LED, it is pulled up to the power supply. in this case, there is no "echo" from the transmitter.
    the transfer works only from the command line, there is no way through mqtt, I tried the topic from post 27 - cmnd/ir_blaster/IRSend

    is there no way to send commands via MQTT? - that is something we should resolve....
    cmnd/ir_blaster/IRSend = no way, surely not impemented!!!

    using a false pin is an interim solution. One question is, why are you getting IR on real input?

    Every possible command that is supported by console, should be also supported by MQTT. Is there some kind of syntax issue with using IR command that way?

    If I connect a receiver located directly on the board, it works, but there is a lot of false data with the RC5 code.
    I don't have an rc5 remote control at all.
    When sending from the command line with the receiver turned on, I get an "echo"

    yes, you will get echo. it does not currently disable RX during TX.....

    I get this garbage, it is present at the input from any receiver, I tried to connect others.
    That's why protocol filtering matters to me.

    Although it is important for me personally to read the remote control codes once, and then send them through node-red, so then I'll just choose the input for the receiver that is not used.

    we now have everything you have requested.

    try "IREnable RC5 0" to disable a protocol.
    try IREnable RXTX 1 if you WANT to receive at the same time as TX - by default RX is suppressed whilst sending.
    try IREnable invert 1 to effectively invert the PWM output. (please check on your 'scope and report).

    I still have one - I found it in a box for experiments today. I still have one - I found it in a box for experiments today. The size compared to the current module is significantly smaller.
