Out of curiosity, which specific ESP are you using? It's unclear from the code, README and wiki...

Thanks, looking forward to implementing this on my Seville Classic fan this weekend hopefully.

Take a look at my implementation https://github.com/lukasgabriel/DL_smart_aircon :)

Since I could not get your version to work with my MQTT broker - the ESP8266 crashed on me every time I sent a json message - I wrote my own version in python (heavily based on yours though - great work on the reverse-engineering!).

In my version, the python code which translates the parameters of the desired AC state is supposed to be run server-side, and only the 32 bits needed for the IR command are sent to the ESP8266 via MQTT. Switching to this method and adapting the Arduino code, I managed to get it to work reliably.

The other modules in my repo are supposes to help one integrate the AC unit into a smart home system and to provide an interface to Homebridge or other Smart Assistants.

Just thought I'd share my work since it would not have been possible without your code :) If you are still working on this, feel free to use some of it in your repo or link to it in your README

I liked reading your wiki article about reversing the protocol of your AC unit. I'm trying to do something similar for my LG unit, but without an Arduino. I'll be using an IR blaster hooked up to a linux system to send data.

I was able to use lirc in raw mode to get the raw codes from the remote and I suspect the remote sends the whole state, as in your case:

      477      557      497      538      499      533
      501     1573      498      533      501     1591
      501      533      500     1592      501      524
      502     1587      502     1581      508      548
      500     1563      505      556      502^C

But I was wondering how I can determine the following:

1. What protocol is the remote using? Is it NEC/RC5-6?
2. How can I convert this pulse/pause sequence to a hex string so I can do a similar analysis as you did?

If my queries are offtopic, please close this issue.
Thanks
