Configuring OpenBeken for Auvisio with WB3S to Use IR via MQTT

Question

Hi,

all. I wanted to buy auvisio and use tasmota to use IR via MQTT. However, my version was sentimental with WB3S, thus, I want to switch to openbeken. I managed to update the firmware successfully, but have no idea how to configure so I can, e.g. read button and/switch LED before activating ir.
Any suggestion on how to start my investment?

Regards

I think you can start with Tuya Config extraction. This will tell you which GPIOs are used for IR diode and receiver:

Then it depends on what exactly do you want to do, do you want IR events to go through Home Assistant? Do you want to send IR commands or do you want to receive them?

I tried to read config. Furthermore, the Template Tuya IR matches, so I choose that one. With that template, I can switch LED as well as see IR signals from TV remote in the log

Info:IR:IR IR_RC5 0x10 0x33 0 (13 bits)

My goals is to
A) Send These ir detected event via mqtt
B) Send IR Signals Based on a mqtt message

MQTT is up, running and connected.

The ir Event (See above) I do not see in mqtt and I don't what topic to send to emit the same event

Have you checked docs? To get IR publish, you need to enable a flag:
https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App/blob/main/docs/flags.md


[IR] Do MQTT publish (Tasmota JSON format) for incoming IR data

To send command, you need to use cmnd topic:
https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App/blob/main/docs/mqttTopics.md


cmnd/OBK_DEV_NAME/COMMAND_TEXT	COMMAND_ARGUMENTS	You can execute any command supported by OpenBeken, just like in Tasmota

There is IRSend command:

Hi,
I found those settings. Both send and receive works.

Last thing is, the commands dont reach the tv seldom. I used the repeat option (3). Thus, it works very often. The original Remote did sent the command three times.

Thanks for helping.
I ordered some more beken devices :-)

Nice, when you get your devices, consider posting them on our forum so we can add them here: In a meantime, it seems that I need to prepare an IR tutorial...
