preliminary Arduino code for controlling a Seville Classics Tower Fan using Arduino-IRremote

IRTowerFanExample

NB: does not actually quite work yet

Work-in-progress to control this fan. Uses shirriff / Arduino-IRremote.

The clever bit is in the .h file, which is a dump of all the 32-bit NEC codes sent by the remote. It has some idea of state, and also you could create masks of the nybbles that turn things on and off.

Product info

• Manufacturer's Product Page: Ultra Slimline Tower Fan Combo Pack - note, though, that only the larger fan (# 10127) has IR control
• Manual: 10127 (PDF)

Bugs

• Doesn't quite work, but released in the hope of being useful. ☺
• The manual for the 10127 indicates an “eco” mode. My unit is a bit older, and doesn't seem to have that.

Update

Hey @scruss,

Thanks for providing this repo, I used the codes you found to confirm my receiver was working.

It seems that the fan won't accept standard NEC codes. I am currently in the process of attempting to get the IRemote library to work with whatever format the fan is expecting.

In the meantime, I figured out that sending raw data works perfectly, but is quite annoying since it's quite a bit more code that needs to be loaded into memory.

Will keep you posted as to my findings. For now, I opened an issue here asking for help figuring out the protocol used.

Thanks again
