[EDGE] Moes Smart IR Remote Control

Hi,
First of all, I want to apologize for my English. I’m from Spain.
I’m new for here, I have been enthusiastic about electronics, programming and automation since I was a kid, and over time I have learned to deal with these issues.
Last summer, I decided to learn another programing language and try to write some edge driver. I bought a Zigbee Moes Smart IR Remote Control and started to learn LUA, zigbee protocol and edge driver structure. Althought I’m very newbie yet, I want to share with you an edge driver for that device. This is the invitation to my channel

The zigbee2mqtt code has helped me a lot to understand how the device works. After the driver could learn and send IR codes, I used keypadInput and mode capabilities for the interface.

The driver has three fingerprints:
manufacturer: _TZ3290_ot6ewjvmejq5ekhl model: TS1201
manufacturer: _TZ3290_acv1iuslxi3shaaj model: TS1201
manufacturer: _TZ3290_j37rooaxrcdcqo5n model: TS1201

To learn a new code, you can select Learning in mode option, and press the button that you want to learn. Then, a led in the device turn on and you can press a button in your real remote control. You have 20 seconds for this, if you don’t press any button on Smartthings or in your remote control, the led will turn off and the mode will change to Learning Off. As well, you can delete all learned codes form Delete ALL buttons option.

I hope you like it.

Hola Mariano,
I bought it in Aliexpress, https://a.aliexpress.com/_EIiuwoJ
My device’s manufacturer is _TZ3290_ot6ewjvmejq5ekhl and the other are from similar devices.

The device can send IR codes from a data base, but it has a learning mode. I wrote the driver for the learning mode, because I want to use it for my Airzone AC, which works with IR.

Thanks,

Hi Javier,
Thank you to share your driver. It’s working well for me. Any way to use buttons in routines?
Thanks.
Joel

Hi Joel,
I checked the only key that you can use in routines is power button, which can be learned as well.
I will try to use a custom capability presentation to add conditions and actions for the rest of the buttons.
Thanks,
Javi

This will be great. Thank you very much for your efforts.
Will be amazing too if we can learning 2 ir codes on on/off button. One for On and another one for Off. Great work you have done. Thanks

Hi,
I’m planning to change how the on/off button works:
Option 1:
Enter in learning mode:
If the switch is Off, the driver will learn Off key,
if the switch is On, the driver will learn On key.
If you only learn one key, On for exemple, this key will be sent in both cases: On and Off ,
if your learn both keys, the driver will send a keycode for On and other keycode for Off,

Option 2:
Add two pushButtons for each key,
Learn and send different keycodes,

I’m already checking how to add actions for every button in routines. I’m trying to use a device profile to add the automation section, but no success. As I said, I’m very newbie.
Thanks,
Javi

Sorry i can’t help you with code. I’m dummy.
Maybe Mariano can help and give you lights to go on. Personaly i like the option One, because i can use on Alexa to Turn on/off by voice and nantain the status of the device.
Thanks

Hi, please someone with skills help this man to advance to Next stage. I did’nt see anything yet that can handle IR receivers without bridge and Run locally with edge. For me is a udge step. I still use with smartthings a tuya hub just to handle my ir receiver. If this driver grows to perfect stage, i can rid off the tuya hub… Thanks to all smartthings comunity

Hi,
Mariano explained to me what I should do to display the keyboard actions in the automation.
I will follow his advice and post the new version soon.
Thank you very much Mariano,

Great initiative. Muy bien. I think it would pave way for other ir controllers too. Way to go!

Hi,
I followed Mariano’s advices and now, button actions are available.

Automation keypad actions
Automation keypad actions794×1600 25.1 KB

I wrote the option 1 for On/Off buttons
Because of the On/Off action is always present in automation, i had to do this:
Added a stack to save On/Off action and button action.
If the device is already On and the automation send On command, this has no effect
The same for the Off action.
There is no delay between On/Off action and the button action, so some devices don’t run the button action (my tv for exemple) I will add a delay in preferences.
I hope to publish a new version soon with all these changes.
Thanks,
Javi

Hi Joel,
I tested my device and power on/power off (learned separately) were working ok.
The new driver version is “Zigbee IR Remote Control 2023-10-27T18:34:12.441360538”. Do you have installed that version? In that case, you should learn both power button states, because in the previous version, the driver only recognised one state for the power button.

Maybe you can uninstall the driver from my channel and reinstall it again to force the update.
The new version has two preferences in configuration, but the previous one does not. That can help you to identify the new version.

I hope you can test the new version.

Hi Joel,
Please, can you remove the batteries from the device and put them back in?
When I was writing the driver, sometimes the device would do strange things and the only solution was a power reset.
What is the fingerprint of your device? Is it in the list of the first post?
I tested again in Smartthings my device and it was ok for me.
Thanks for your tests,
Javi

Still not working. Remove batteries, delete, readd device, send on and off commands through ide … Button still grayed out.

_TZ3290_j37rooaxrcdcqo5n model: TS1201

Your first driver did not have this issue. Just happens after delete driver and install the new One. It seems not recognize the on/off status at first use of the device.

You can try to initialize the capability with a routine or a scene, sending an Off action command for example

Already tryed…:pensive:
