"Complete" IR Remote Protocols

The default Tasmota firmware variants include support for IR send/receive for a limited set of protocols (see IR Remote). Tasmota uses the IRremoteESP8266 library that supports numerous protocols. Each protocol consumes some program memory, especially air conditioner protocols (up to 81k of flash size). Also, every protocol included increases the time to decode the IR signal.

There are now two additional Tasmota firmware variants that provide almost all IRremoteESP8266 protocols. This requires disabling some other features to keep code size manageable.

  • sonoff-ir is pre-packaged for IR blasters, like Eachen IR Bridge or YTF IR Bridge. Choose sonoff-ir if you are using an IR blaster.
  • sonoff-ircustom is used if you want to customize your features (additional sensors, language, etc.). This variant is required because it triggers a special compilation flag for IRremoteESP8266. Edit the IRremoteESP8266.h header in the IRremoteESP8266-x.x.x/src folder to disable (i.e., set to false) any unneeded/unwanted protocols. Then compile your own firmware.

Once you have the Tasmota IR firmware file you need, flash it on your device using the usual method.

You can test that you have the correct firmware on your device by performing the following command in the web UI Console: IRhvac {"Vendor":"xx"}. The output should be a list of the supported protocols/vendors. For example:

RESULT = {"IRHVAC":"Wrong Vendor (COOLIX|DAIKIN|KELVINATOR|MITSUBISHI_AC|GREE|ARGO|TROTEC|TOSHIBA_AC|FUJITSU_AC|MIDEA|HAIER_AC|HITACHI_AC|HAIER_AC_YRW02|WHIRLPOOL_AC|SAMSUNG_AC|ELECTRA_AC|PANASONIC_AC|DAIKIN2|VESTEL_AC|TECO|TCL112AC|MITSUBISHI_HEAVY_88|MITSUBISHI_HEAVY_152|DAIKIN216|SHARP_AC|GOODWEATHER|DAIKIN160|NEOCLIMA|DAIKIN176|DAIKIN128|AMCOR)"}

Sending IR Commands

Send an IR remote control code as a decimal or hexadecimal string in a JSON payload. In order to send IR data, you must configure one of the free device GPIO as IRsend (8). Neither GPIO01 nor GPIO03 can be used.

Command Parameters
IRsend<x> <x> [optional] = number of times the IR message is sent. If not specified or 0..1, the message is sent only once (i.e., not repeated) (default)
>1 = emulate a long-press on the remote control, sending the message <x> times, or sending a repeat message for specific protocols (like NEC)

{"Protocol":"<value>","Bits":<value>,"Data":<value>,"DataLSB":<value>,"Repeat":<value>}

"Protocol" or "Vendor" (select one of the following):
RC5, RC6, NEC, SONY, PANASONIC, JVC, SAMSUNG, WHYNTER, AIWA_RC_T501, LG, MITSUBISHI, DISH, SHARP, DENON, SHERWOOD, RCMM, SANYO_LC7461, RC5X, NEC (non-strict), NIKAI, MAGIQUEST, LASERTAG, CARRIER_AC, MITSUBISHI2, HITACHI_AC1, HITACHI_AC2, GICABLE, LUTRON, PIONEER, LG2, SAMSUNG36, LEGOPF, INAX, DAIKIN152

"Bits":1..64 = required number of data bits
    for PANASONIC protocol this parameter is the the address, not the number of bits

"Data":0x1..0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF = data frame as 64 bit hexadecimal.
    e.g., IRsend {"Protocol":"NEC","Bits":32,"Data":0x8166817E}
Or
"DataLSB":0x1..0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF = data frame as 64 bit hexadecimal with LSB (each byte with bits reversed).
    e.g., IRsend {"Protocol":"NEC","Bits":32,"Data":0x8166817E}
DataLSB comes handy with LSB-first (Least Significant Bit First) protocols like NEC, and makes decoding/encoding easier.

"Repeat":0..<x> if 0 send the frame once, if >0 simulates a long press; Note: "Repeat":1 sends the message twice.

Alternatively, you can send IR remote control codes using RAW command encoding.

Receiving IR Commands

If you have an IR receiver, a message will be logged each time an IR message is seen. IRremoteESP8266 will try to decode the message against all supported protocols. If unrecognized, the "Protocol":"UNKNOWN" will be shown. In this case, the "Data" field contains a hash of the received message. The hash can't be used to send the a message, but the same hash will be produced by the same message.

Information on Receiving Infrared Data

Example:
Pioneer Vol+
MQT: tele/tasmota/IR1/RESULT = {"IrReceived":{"Protocol":"PIONEER","Bits":64,"Data":"0xA55A50AFA55A50AF","DataLSB":"0xA55A0AF5A55A0AF5","Repeat":0}}

Pioneer Vol-
tele/tasmota/IR1/RESULT = {"IrReceived":{"Protocol":"PIONEER","Bits":64,"Data":"0xA55AD02FA55AD02F","DataLSB":"0xA55A0BF4A55A0BF4","Repeat":0}}

Toshiba (NEC): Channel 1
MQT: tele/tasmota/IR1/RESULT = {"IrReceived":{"Protocol":"NEC","Bits":32,"Data":"0x02FD807F","DataLSB":"0x40BF01FE","Repeat":0}}

Toshiba (NEC): Channel 2
MQT: tele/tasmota/IR1/RESULT = {"IrReceived":{"Protocol":"NEC","Bits":32,"Data":"0x02FD40BF","DataLSB":"0x40BF02FD","Repeat":0}}

Toshiba (NEC): Channel 3
MQT: tele/tasmota/IR1/RESULT = {"IrReceived":{"Protocol":"NEC","Bits":32,"Data":"0x02FDC03F","DataLSB":"0x40BF03FC","Repeat":0}}

As you can see above, "DataLSB" are easier to decode than "Data". The third byte contains the command, and the fourth byte is the third with all bits reversed.

Example of HVAC message:
MQT: tele/tasmota/IR1/RESULT = {"IrReceived":{"Protocol":"MITSUBISHI_HEAVY_152","Bits":152,"Data":"0xAD513CE51A08F705FA02FDC03F08F700FF807F","Repeat":0,"IRHVAC":{"Vendor":"MITSUBISHI_HEAVY_152","Model":-1,"Power":"on","Mode":"auto","Celsius":"on","Temp":22,"FanSpeed":"medium","SwingV":"off","SwingH":"off","Quiet":"off","Turbo":"off","Econo":"off","Light":"off","Filter":"off","Clean":"off","Beep":"off","Sleep":-1}}}

MQT: tele/tasmota/IR1/RESULT = {"IrReceived":{"Protocol":"COOLIX","Bits":24,"Data":"0xB25F78","DataLSB":"0x4DFA1E","Repeat":0,"IRHVAC":{"Vendor":"COOLIX","Model":-1,"Power":"on","Mode":"auto","Celsius":"on","Temp":22,"FanSpeed":"medium","SwingV":"off","SwingH":"off","Quiet":"off","Turbo":"off","Econo":"off","Light":"on","Filter":"off","Clean":"on","Beep":"off","Sleep":-1}}}
