Hello, Thanks for your driver.
Could you add this fingerprint to your driver? It seems that this fingerprint hasn’t been added yet.
It has usb power model, not battery. https://ko.aliexpress.com/item/1005003878194474.html
Only difference is power, it might be same logic with your other devices.
Fingerprint
Model : TS1201
Manufacturer Code : _TZ3290_7v1k4vufotpowp9z
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks!
Hello,
I saw that your device does not have power configuration cluster 0x0001 due to lack of batteries, so I will have to add the fingerprint and make some modifications.
Next week I will have some free time and I will be able to do it.
Thank you,
Javi
Hi hb_k,
I added the new fingerprint _TZ3290_7v1k4vufotpowp9z and modified the code to avoid checking the battery. Please test the driver.
Thanks,
Javi
Now I have a question…
Is there any way to duplicate the item?
It seems that only one mapping on one item. ( for example, power button could be learned only one device. )
How can I use multiple devices? (like fan, TV, and so on.)
Hello @otivax
I installed your driver recently and have used it for my mini-split heat-pump. Verry happy it works ! I tweaked it a bit to make it work for my own need as follows, which then allowed me to use Alexa to Trigger ST for automation with voice.
Button 1 = Set to 18 °C
Button 2 = Set to 19 °C
Button 3 = Set to 20°C
…
Button 9 = Set to 26 °C
Button 0 = Set to Off
I put in learning mode and had set each number to a specific degree for quick automation. Since the design is more of a TV remote than an AC remote, the up-down function and fan speed are not handled. That will do for now as I set the fan speed as part of the learning code (thus always speed 3) but would be really nice if you could make it as an AC/Heatpump and have the device learn and control more than more device.
Again, to my knowledge you are the first to come up with an Zigbee IR Blaster driver.
Thanks again!
Hi ellie.
The design is more of a TV remote control because I use a capability called keypadInput that displays like a TV RC. It was the best I found in the Smartthings documentation.
I’m adding a custom capability to select a device from a list, and then it will be possible to learn, use and automate new devices. You can use the same buttons for multiple devices by changing the selected device in the list.
I hope to have a new version soon, but lately I don’t have much free time.
Thanks,
Javi
Thanks @otivax . No rush, I understand community members work on their own personal time. Just happy there is something available at this point that works !
I used what was there using the TV remote to force in action for my mini-split as indicated above. That will do until a new release is available
Hi,
I updated the driver with support for multiple devices. Version 2024-02-20T18:04:50.7051487
Now, you can select from a list of 10 devices, learn the key codes, and use them in Detail View and Automation. The Main device is the device learned in previous versions…
I would recommend using one automation to change the device without using the power button and another to send the key code, because the automation sends the power button code (on or off) before sending the device change, so this could produce unwanted effects.
I hope you like it.
Thanks,
Javi
Hello. First of all, thank you for you excellent work. I was able to pair and control my AC unit (LG Art Cool), audio (Philips micro system), satellite receiver (VU+) and TV (Philips).
Now dumb question. Is it possible to use 2 of these ir blaster units in 2 separate rooms and control different set devices? I would like to have some type of automations also in bedroom for TV, satellite receiver and projector. Thank you.
Hello Javier, I just read through this whole thread because I am interested in an ir blaster to turn my dumb tv on and off and my question is more about the device rather your driver but if I was to buy the ir blaster you linked on AliExpress would I also need to buy the hub? Or does your driver allow me to use my aeotec hub instead? Sorry I’m new and I have very limited knowledge about tech. Thanks in advance
Hi Kyle,
I use a Moes IR blaster with my Aeotec hub. It is not necessary to buy another hub.
You can install the driver from my chanel, the link is in the first post, and then you can use the Moes IR blaster with Smartthings.
Thanks,.
Javi
https://a.aliexpress.com/_EIiuwoJ This is the device you use right? Do you happen to know what the zigbee range is? My hub won’t be too far away from the device but the device will be in my bedroom and my hub is in my living room although it’s pretty open but this would be my first zigbee device so I’m wondering if I would need like a plug in repeater or something to extend the range between my hub and the device?
I was hoping that I could find the device somewhere other than aliexpress to order. I was hoping temu or Amazon but I can’t seem to find any product number to search for it
Range is the same for all Zigbee devices. See the community network FAQ. Start with post 11 in that thread (I will link directly to that post), read it, then go back up to the top of the thread, and read the whole thing.
