So, it's not a TuyaMCU but you still got "MCU version" string in the app? Hm, interesting.

I am creating multiplatform open source firmware (Tasmota replacement), right now supporting BK7231T, BK7231N, XR809, BL602, W800, W600 and soon supporting RTL and W701:

Added after 1 [minutes]:

Here are the pics of the hardware (Huggwic Tuya WiFi IR Remote Control Smart Home For TV Air Condition Universal Infrared Controller Work With Alexa Google Home):

I have physically verified the PIN connections:

PIN PIN Setting
7 IRSend
8 IRRecv
24 LED_n

Also I have checked Pin 7 output using GPIO Finder. The output works fine

Picture taken with a Mobile Phone Camera:

So the hardware works fine. Infact I was able to fully configure a remote of a Panasonic Fan using Tuya App. So hardwarewise everything is fine.

OpenBK is not helping me here.

1. IR Receive shows random data for the same button of the remote when the test is repeated. Some times I do not see any IR messages in the log also.

2. Today when I tried IRSend Command I get an error:

Code: text Expand Select all Copy to clipboard
Error:CMD:cmd IRSEND NEC 0xE384 0x24 0 NOT found (args ) Info:CMD:[WebApp Cmd 'IRSEND NEC 0xE384 0x24 0' Result] Unknown command Error:CMD:cmd IRSEND NOT found (args UNKNOWN 0x43430E7F 0) Info:CMD:[WebApp Cmd 'IRSEND UNKNOWN 0x43430E7F 0' Result] Unknown command

However previously I have been able to type in the second command successfully:

Code: text Expand Select all Copy to clipboard
Info:IR:Delay 100ms Info:IR:IR send UNKNOWN 0x43430E7F protocol 0 addr 0xE7F cmd 0x0 repeats 0 Info:CMD:[WebApp Cmd 'IRSEND UNKNOWN 0x43430E7F 0' Result] OK

IR Driver is active.

Wonder how I should proceed

IRSend will only be "unknown command" if you don't have IR driver running.

It may be also "unknown" in the rare case when you have copy/pasted code with non-standard ASCII whitespace characters. In such case the command parser fails to detect spaces and parses whole string as single word. It has already happened twice, as far as I know. Try typing command manually and see if it works.

OK I sorted out the Cut&Paste issue of commands. I remember that you mentioned it to me some time back also.

So IRSend command does work. I could see the LEDs coming on.

Now to the issue of IRReceive.

The problematic Panasonic remote gives similar behavior in Tasmota also. I might need to try with the Tasmota_ir.bin to check it against the full list of AC Remotes etc.

I used another remote which uses NEC protocol for comparison with Tasmota.

Here is the Tasmota log:

---- first attempt ---
20:54:56.064 MQT: tele/xxxx/RESULT = {"Time":"2023-06-30T20:54:56","IrReceived":{"Protocol":"NEC","Bits":32,"Data":"0x04FFB24D"}}
---- second attempt ---
20:56:16.519 MQT: tele/xxxx/RESULT = {"Time":"2023-06-30T20:56:16","IrReceived":{"Protocol":"NEC","Bits":32,"Data":"0x04FFB24D"}}
20:56:16.661 MQT: tele/xxxx/RESULT = {"Time":"2023-06-30T20:56:16","IrReceived":{"Protocol":"NEC","Bits":0,"Data":"0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF"}}
20:56:16.769 MQT: tele/xxxx/RESULT = {"Time":"2023-06-30T20:56:16","IrReceived":{"Protocol":"NEC","Bits":0,"Data":"0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF"}}

I get consistent values on same button

In contrast in OpenBK log for the same button:

---- first time ----

Issues:
1. If OpenBK is using the same IR library from Tasmota, at minimum the NEC protocol should have been recognized
2. Probably due to not recognizing the NEC protocol, the data captured are inconsistent

I have a feeling that there may be some issue around the buffer reading and clearing.

Can the code owner help check this behaviour please?

I tested with a Tasmota (tasmora-ir.bin) device and was able to capture all my remotes using the RAW mode and successfully transmit them also.

So I guess I have to conclude that OpenBK is not yet ready for serious IR application until the protocol files are updated and a RAW mode is implemented.

Did you replace the cbu with this?
Any issues with irhvac send command on esp32?

No I did not. I built an ESP8266 based device to be used temporarily.

Thanks for the link, I did not know the existance of the module.

I was looking for a ESP8266 based module which had a somewhat comparable pin arrangement for CBU module and could not find any.

This opens up the possibility of using the device that I already have. It has a ASM1117 based LDO chip, hopefully can give out more than 500mA during boot to support ESP32.

My guess is that there should not be an issue with an ESP32. I was able to correctly capture (on a ESP8266) a lengthy payload of a problematic Panasonic Fan remote using the RAW Mode and use the following translator to decode it. So codewise the capability should be there.

I swapped with esp32 c05, and the only issue seems to be with irhvac send.
Still can't figure out how to fix it so just swapped with an esp8266

tried building one myself, but i can't quite get irsend working

Need a Transsistor driver circuit for the IR LED. The IR LED needs to be 940nm type (there is also a 850nm type which has a reddish glow when powered).

For easy DIY project, if you use a WEMOS D1 Mini, then there is an IR Shield.

Hello, have you tried the IRSend format recommended by documentation? The one with dashes?

yes from this post https://www.elektroda.com/rtvforum/viewtopic.php?p=20551713#20551713

Custom command:
Code: text Expand Select all Copy to clipboard
IRSEND Sony-1-15-1

log:
Code: text Expand Select all Copy to clipboard
Info:IR:Delay 44ms Info:IR:Delay 100ms Info:IR:IR send Sony-1-15-1 protocol 21 addr 0x1 cmd 0x15 repeats 1 OK

same result as IRSend Sony 0x1 0x15 1, IR light flashes but TV does not power ON
