TECO protocol Light on/off

[tomiisp]

Hi,

I have ALASKA A/C and this use TECO protocol, I have tested that and seems most basic commands works perfect except - A/C start with turned off display and I not found command to turn on/off display in lib.
I have used IRrecvDumpv2 to check and seems LIGHT button is in third (byte 2) byte:
Example cmd:
Light on: 0x250200A09
Light off: 0x250000A09
Then it is in byte 2, and b5 which seems in lib its wrong because TECO lib have for byte 2 this:
b0-3 = 0b0000
b4-7 = Timer hours (unit, not thenth)

I tested that Timer hours too, 0-9hours is in b0-3 in range 0000-1001 (max up to 9h), b5 = light on/off, in hex byte 2 counts: 0x0-9 (light off) or 0x20-29 (light on).

Just FYI

There is also other thing, I have on remote 4 buttons without text, seems they do not anything with my A/C but they show icons on remote and change data:

• big gray button, right of + button (4)
  base state - 0x250000A09
  on remote show icon AIR 1 - 0x251000A09
  on remote show icon AIR 2 - 0x252000A09

• small gray button, right of - button) (3)
  base state - 0x250000A09
  on remote show HUMID - 0x250100A09

• small white button on bottom, 1st from right (1)
  base state - 0x250000A09
  on remote show SAVE - 0x250800A09

• small white button on bottom, 2nd from right (2)
  base state - 0x250000A09
  on remote show icon of tree with some bubbles around - 0x250400A09

That light cmd I already fixed but of course you can do that better.

ir_Teco.h:

• add (~line 120)

 void setLight(const bool state);
 bool getLight(void);

• change:
  const uint64_t kTecoPower = 0b00000000000001000000000000000001000;
  (default light on)
• add:
  const uint64_t kTecoLight = 0b00000000000001000000000000000000000;

ir_Teco.cpp:

• add (line ~147)

bool IRTecoAc::getLight(void) { return remote_state & kTecoLight; }
void IRTecoAc::setLight(const bool on) {
  if (on)
    remote_state |= kTecoLight;
  else
    remote_state &= ~kTecoLight;
}

• change in stdAc::state_t IRTecoAc::toCommon(void)
result.light = false;
  to
  result.light = this->getLight();
• add at end in String IRTecoAc::toString(void)
result += addBoolToString(getLight(), F("Light"));

Can you please provide the part/model numbers for the A/C remote and the A/C's head unit so I can add it to the supported device list?

I'll work on your suggested changes shortly.

[crankyoldgit]

  byte 1 = Cst 0x50
    b6-7 = "AIR" 0, 1, 2
  byte 2:
    b0 = Save
    b1 = "Tree with bubbles" / Filter??
    b2 = Light/LED.
    b3 = Humid

I've added the above. My guess is the "tree" thing is either a Fresh Air mode or a Filter (for pollen?). Any chance you've got a manual? or know what the features of the A/C are/were?

[crankyoldgit]

I've tried to update what I can based on your info.

Can you please try out the code in PR #871 (https://github.com/crankyoldgit/IRremoteESP8266/tree/alaska) and let me know how it goes for you?

Hi,
remote and A/C unit itself have mark ALASKA SAC9010QC
about code, I will test that over today, I let you know if it work

Anyway, thanks for your work :)

Code is working, at least that Light option is ok. Rest I cannot judge, my A/C doesn't support that commands, they are only on remote (and they have missing text/description on remote) and manual also not mention that unmarked buttons and symbols on remote, I think this remote was used also for other A/C units from Alaska where was that functions supported.

Thanks for confirming.

[crankyoldgit]

As you can't confirm the rest of the functionality, and as that PR is now merged into the master branch. I'm marking this closed.

FYI: The changes mentioned above have been included in v2.6.5 of the library which has just been released.
