Hey! First off, thank you so much for making this driver, it’s exactly what I needed! You are a hero!
Second off, for anyone looking for a device that works with this driver, I ordered this one (the zigbee version) on Amazon and it works great right out of the box! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D3C591F6
I set it up and tested it on my TV and it worked great! I plan to use one in my room to control an AC unit, but now I’m thinking of all kinds of things I could do with these! I will probably order several more now!
And third off, I’m not sure if this is a bug or not, but when I go to create a routine > Control Devices > IR Remote, if I select “turn on” I can specify a device from the driver’s devices list. However, if I select “Turn off” or “Turn on or off”, I cannot select a device from the devices list, the option to enable “Device selection” is grayed out and disabled. I think it’s “fine” for a lot of devices that do not have unique on/off codes, I can just use “Turn on” as a toggle. But for devices that do have unique on/off codes and a person wants to use them this could be a problem.
Also, is there a way to send keypad actions without also sending a power on signal? I think I could use an unused Device from the list and not configure an on/off code for it, but I’d like to know if keypad actions without an accompanying power signal is an option I should look for or if it’s even possible.
And lastly, is there a way to bind another device’s state to the state of this driver? For example, having this driver report “on” or “off” based on the on/off state or power usage of a separate switch or power meter? For instance, if my outlet is reporting power usage greater than 5 watts, set the power state of my IR driver to “on”?
Thanks again for such a great driver, and for all the hard work you’ve put into creating it and supporting it!
If you want to deactivate the switch in the routine that does not allow you to choose more commands, this is the normal operation of smartthings routines.
If you want to send commands in a routine without including the activate command you have to deselect “Activate” by clicking on it again. This is the normal operation of smartthings routines.
Thank you for creating this driver. It looks like great work!
I recently purchased this new Tuya remote transmitter: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807435504800.html
It’s really compact, battery powered, and it seems like it would be a great addition to this driver. Thanks!
The only nuance I am finding is that this device will go into some sort of sleep mode if not accessed for several days. I wonder if it has some sort of “wake” command.
I should be able to automate some sort of dummy command to keep it from sleeping.
Hi Otivax, my Moes smart IR remote control has arrived.
I’m trying to learn it to control my Samsung TV.
But will the learning have to be done for each individual button or will it recognize the many on the remote?
Hello @otivax, I have been using this driver for some time now. I appreciate you making this available! In my experience I would say it works roughly 50% of the time to affect an action on the device I am attempting to control when I use the controller through the app. However, it seems to not be working well at all when automated via routines. Do you know anything about this? Is anyone else having this problem?
It works! I managed to connect it for the first time yesterday, thanks to Javi huge work with the controllers.
My only concern is how to set the pump (air/air) in my climate I have already made the first scenarios, we are testing.
I was afraid because I am impatient and the shipping of Meos to me is two weeks or longer, there was another one available in one day - it has to have power supply but I can connect a small power bank to it the story ends happily, hier and now.
My device is “Tuya pilot IR/38kHz - ZigBee - RTX ZS06”
Thanks again for your help! Thanks to you, I am developing my network every month. I draw inspiration from you and develop it in my direction.
New challenge, better efficiency of solar panels and energy from them. I saw Mariano’s project uff I will probably buy this energy meter. But how to make a temperature measurement group? Smartthings shows on page 2~23 because it does not distinguish between outside/inside rooms
Hi, @Docga, you should check the power button of your routines. By default, On or Off action is set, and it might turn on or off your controlled device before performing the desired action. You should disable all the power on/off options.
@Camel, as @Andreas_Roedl said, you can disable any temperature sensor for external devices. I have this configuration in my case. All my sensors are grouped except the external.
Javier thank you. I live in Spain as well - inland of Alicante. This could be what I need to warm my bathroom up in advance in the winter. I have a Leroy Merlin fan heater mounted above the window and it is operated with a small remote. This could mean I can stay in bed in the winter while the bathroom heats up
I have already made the first scenarios, we are testing.
the story ends happily, hier and now.
