    I managed to get it working, model with chip (WB3S) I attach the 100% working configuration =)

    Screenshot of a device configuration with WB3S chip, showing a list of settings numbered from 0 to 28, including functions like Btn, IRRecv, LED, and IRSend.

    Thanks, but if you want me to add this to our devices database, can you post it as JSON template from the Web App?

    Hi Guys,

    I'm newbie in all this domotic stuff and I try to bind my homeassistant local implementation to this IR remote. I succesfully install OpenBeken Firmware, connected remote to WIFI and set MQTT to my HA. The remote appears in HA devices with only RSSI level. In remote's WebApp I succesfully writed the desired IrSend command, when I execute it from webapp, it's working properly and my heater turn on. Now I want to create a custom action in HA to trigger this command from my HA Dashboard (with a kind of switch button) but I have no idea of where to start ?
    Any help to guide me ?

    Regards

    Hi,
    Did you manage to figure it out? I'm also done flashing, connecting and configuring, I manage to successfully send IR commands from the Logs tab in the WebApp and my devices are responding. Unfortunately I have no idea how to control everything from Home Assistant...
    Thanks

    If you can send IR commands from logs tab, then you can also run them via MQTT. We have a cmd interface to execute commands via HASS:
    https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App/blob/main/docs/mqttTopics.md
    A section of a table from MQTT documentation with a highlighted field regarding commands.
    Then you just need to make the certain MQTT publish on Home Assistant side. You can check out this topic to see how to make such a button in hA:

    Thanks a lot, it was really helpful. I've managed to create a button in HA that will turn on my Yamaha receiver.
    The button card config is as follows:

    If you want, you can also share Yaml code, it's possible to copy it from HA as well

    Hello everyone.
    I purchased this IR transmitter, I performed the various operations:
    Flash the chip
    WiFi connection
    Setting the device name
    MQTT configuration
    Discovery on Home Assistant

    The device is now working and connected to Home Assistant. It works correctly both to receive IR signals and to send them to my TV.

    My problem is that on Home Assistant it only sees the Button entity and the diagnostic entities do not update.

    Home Assistant configuration interface for an IR transmitter with device information, controls, and diagnostics.

    If I click on the button it works, the LED turns off and on.
    How can I also add the IR entity to be able to send / receive commands and enable the diagnostic entities?

    I think I'm missing a step to configure them... but I haven't found it.

    Thanks.

    Hello Buddy,
    You have to use a mqtt topic with your device Device Name, my script for example is
    Code: text Expand Select all Copy to clipboard
    
alias: Send IR to Verstärker
sequence:
  - service: mqtt.publish
    metadata: {}
    data:
      qos: "{{qos}}"
      topic: cmnd/obkFF433D27/IRSEND
      payload: "{{payload}}"
      retain: false
mode: single
icon: mdi:remote
fields:
  qos:
    selector:
      number:
        min: 0
        max: 2
        step: 1
    name: qos
    default: 0
    required: true
  payload:
    selector:
      text: null
    name: Payload
    required: true

    There you can use the Payload for an IRSend Command. You can find instructions on the git for using IRSend. Hope this could help

    First of all, thank you very much for your reply.

    Sorry, but I haven't been approaching this world for long and I still don't have a clear idea of ​​everything.

    I have to load that example code you sent me into the CONFIG>HOME ASSISTANT CONFIGURATION screen and then redo the discovery, right?

    Hi, its really no problem, everybody has to start :)
    The code is a Script, you dont have to put it in the home assistant Configuration. You Have to create a Script under Automations & scenes. You can view your script as yaml format by clicking the 3 lines on top right and there should be something like see as yaml. You can paste the Code there. Then to use it, you could use a button on a dashboard for example, which uses the script as the service, In Payload you have to find out what exactly you want to send. For example my volume up for my TV is "NEC 0x7A 0x1A".
    Maybe this helps

    I understand thanks.

    I'll do some tests tonight and see what comes out.

    There is also this video which partially covers some IR event scripting in OBK:



    I hope you'll be able to understand my assistant there, she was a bit sick when we recorded that.

    Hello

    How can I know the IR code I have to send to turn on the air conditioner for example? How can I use the learning mode?

    >>21359794 you should just point the remote control to the device and push the button you'd like to replicate. In many cases you will receive more than a single command. an example from my case is:
    Code: text Expand Select all Copy to clipboard
    Info:IR:IR IR_PulseDistance 0xD21 0xD0A 0 (35 bits)
Info:IR:IR IR_PulseDistance 0xE20 0xE0A 0 (35 bits)

    (you see it on the web application → Logs).
    Then on that log screen, on the bottom, there is a place to send commands from the device to your AC.
    for example, using my log above:
    Code: text Expand Select all Copy to clipboard
    IRSend PulseDistance-D21-D0A-0
IRSend PulseDistance-E20-E0A-0

    (pay attention to all the adjustments between reading and sending).

    I'm a novice at this as well, but that is what I gathered till now. Not sure how to send the two commands in a row automatically, or why even I get more than one command on a single button click...
    Hope I helped you somehow.

    >>21362740 Thank you, I haven't flashed it yet, I'm gathering information as this device seems a bit more complex than the others.

    It seems simple for a single command, but I would also like to know how to send a compound command, such as turning on the air conditioning and having it set to 25ºC in heating mode, just like you can do in the app. Maybe @p.kaczmarek2 can help us with this

    >>21363612 why not just send the two commands (power on) and (set to 25°) in a row, one after the other, with 2 seconds delay between them?

    Hi,

    I'm having an issue with the S06 (CB3S). I have successfully flashed OpenBeken onto the device and it works perfectly to receive the codes of 1 remote (Fan) but not able to receive the codes on my Air Conditioner (AC) remote at all.

    My understanding is that if the device is unknown, RAW IR Codes would be captured/received in the logs, and this happened with the Fan Remote IR Codes but the AC codes are not captured at all in the logs.

    Can someone help me with this? Is there a solution available or is it better to just return the remote?

    Thank you for your response.

    Thanks to all who have contributed to this thread so far, with which I've managed to get a Hama SmartIR working (I just need to program all the keys from various units and integrate them into HA)

    Unit conveniently has provision to add a 0.1" header which I used to flash with 1.18.84
    Code: JSON

    OBK alternative IR library (the one with hvac codes) can now be downloaded from Releases as well:
    https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App/releases
    A list of downloadable files for the OpenBK7231N project, with two irRemoteESP-related files highlighted.
    It's based on old vfonov'PR . Core OBK is using Arduino-IRRemote, while the marked extra binary is using IRRemoteESP port. Choose whatever works best for you.
