Hi,

I am new here...so sorry for the probably easy question.
I have a Mitsubishi A/C. My Smarthome System (Loxone) has a IR sending device.

Due to system restrictions I can not learn-in the complex codes from Mitsubishi. I found a template to use all functions except to turn off the A/C. Here on this site I found a turn off code (hopefully correct). My Problem ist I need a binary code not a hex code.

How can I transfer this code to "0" and "1"

Thanks a lot

Nobbi

IRScrutinizer has the ability to convert among many formats. I have no idea what Loxone requires, but if it's LIRC format, as I suspect, that program can do it.

A strict binary conversion of the pronto hex would be simple enough to do by hand using a calculator, calculator app, excel , etc., but the resulting signal most certainly won't work.

What do you mean by you found a template for the other functions? That may be the Rosetta Stone that we need to determine the relationship between pronto hex and the binary format that Loxone uses.

I just need a 1/0 string.
I can generate almost any string. I also have an XML Template with one function


It is a little Template you feed in the variables (Temp, Fan, Mode etc.) and it calculates the IR string. Only turning off does not work.

Sorry, only in german...Look an the bottom

I translated to english, but I still don't understand the signal format. Sorry.

What exactly?
1 is sending, 0 is pause.
All other Information (frequency, rate, length of impulse...) is already stored in another place.

The Loxone format is not very clear, but I'm going to make the assumption that fields listed as "C:" are bit strings which do not vary among the various functions. Then the overall signal is 136 bits in length (17 bytes), noting that S:1 evidently means an 8 bit checksum.

I recognize the first part of the signals:  1100 0100 1101 0011 0110.  This is the beginning of a Kaseikyo IR protocol, where 1100 0100 1101 0011 are the OEM identifiers for Mitsubishi,  and 0110 is the XOR of the first 4 nibbles.  So this is a 136 bit version of Mitsubishi-K.  That means the Loxone documentation has left out the details of the frequency, the lead-in, and the lead-out.

However, the Pronto Hex you've linked to is not Mitsubishi-K, and it is only 52 bits. So we have no info on the Power-Off signal for your air conditioner.

Actually, I had forgotten that Mitsubishi has published the codes.   There are 18 bytes, and they may need to be sent twice.  Apparently I misunderstood the Loxone document since I counted 17 bytes from their site.

Hi Nobbi,

let me know if you still need help with the IR commands for your Loxone system. We're happy to help.

Florian
