    Hey all, new to the forum.

    I recently followed a guide to flash OpenBeken to my Tuya IR blaster with a CB3S and am having trouble capturing IR signals from my AC. I'm not really sure what protocol my AC uses as it's a rebrand with not much info available, but the IR signals appear in OpenBK as either PulseDistance or Unknown. I've seen a few other threads about similar issues for Tasmota and ESP32 and one of the solutions somebody used there was to dump the raw IR signals to load in IrScrutinizer and then write a new command/program to operate their AC using the protocol they'd dumped.

    I'm looking to do the same with my CB3S. I'm a programmer and am totally comfortable modifying and compiling OpenBK if needed, but I'm having real trouble trying to dump the raw IR signals that the device is receiving. Is this something that's possible with this device or do I need to dump the IR from an ESP32/8266 setup?

    Many thanks

    We have two IR libraries integrated, IRRemote and IRRemoteESP8266. Which one did you try?
    List of downloadable files from a repository; two .rbl files highlighted.
    Helpful post? Buy me a coffee.

    I'm actually not sure. I think the IRRemote version.
    Is there a way to check from the web portal?

    In the meantime I might try the IRRemoteESP8266 version.

    Added after 5 [minutes]:

    Quick update. With the IRRemoteESP8266 version, half the signals now show as Gree, so we're making progress! The other half still show as Unknown. Now looking to see if I can dump the whole IR packet
