Add support iFeel for Electra A/C remote

[Aculeasis]

I use Tuya IR remote on Tasmota and examined data value. For example:
0xC36FE000A00028640020001E7C - iFeel on
0xC36FE000A00020000020001E10 - iFeel off

I think iFeel flag is stored in byte 6 bit 5. The temp is stored in byte 7.
I wrote some code but It's not so easy because The stdAc has no iFeel and i think Tasmota checks IRElectraAc::toCommon.

It will be great if you implement support iFeel and Tasmota makes it controllable.

PS: Works on both of my cheap A/C (AUX manufactured):

• Subtropic SUB-07HN1_18Y remote YKR-H/102E
• Centek CT-65Q09 remote YKR-P/002E

[crankyoldgit]

Thanks for the info. I'll look at adding "IFeel" support to the ELECTRA_AC protocol per your code.
However, stdAc, which Tasmota uses, does not support all the features of every A/C. It's meant to only cover the common basics allowing it to be universal as such. See: https://github.com/crankyoldgit/IRremoteESP8266/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#the-irac-class-used-by-irmqttserver-tasmota-etc-doesnt-support-a-feature-of-my-ac-why

Alas, "IFeel" falls into that category. If you want to use that feature, you're going to need to use the IRElectraAc Class interface once we've added it.

[crankyoldgit]

@Aculeasis I've added support for IFeel etc via the IRElectraAc class as discussed.
I mostly used your code with a number of fixes. i.e. You math seemed incorrect when using the data you provided, and you seemed off-by-one on one of the bit settings.

Please download and try out PR #1645 / Branch https://github.com/crankyoldgit/IRremoteESP8266/tree/Electra_Ifeel and let us know how it goes.

E.g. It decodes your:

0xC36FE000A00028640020001E7C - iFeel on

As:

Power: On, Mode: 1 (Cool), Temp: 21C, Fan: 5 (Auto), Swing(V): Off, Swing(H): Off, Light: -, Clean: Off, Turbo: Off, IFeel: On, IFeel Temp: 26C

[Aculeasis]

Thank you.
Receiving and sending (In Heat mode) work.

Also, I found and tested two other flags:
HeatWTF sets in Heat mode. I can't understand what it does. It has no effect.

    // 0xC39FE000A00080000030000597
    // Byte 9
    uint8_t         :2;
    uint8_t Clean   :1;
    uint8_t         :1;
    uint8_t HeatWTF :1;
    uint8_t Power   :1;
    uint8_t         :2;

NoBeepIFeel is used when the A/C remote send new temperature without beeping, but it's not the same as Beep because all other settings will be ignored.

    // 0xC39FE040A00088660030001E5E
    // Byte 3
    uint8_t         :6;
    uint8_t NoBeepIFeel :1;
    uint8_t         :1;

[crankyoldgit]

Ahh. So ifeel's temp is really a sensor temp.

[Aculeasis]

Yes, from the a/c remote. And what were the options?

[crankyoldgit]

Some other A/Cs have a sensor temp feature. I'm use that text instead. They also have the silent update, so I'll try to use that to keep the class usage as similar.

[crankyoldgit]

I've added changes to that branch to change to Sensor Temp, and to support the silent sensor temp update-only messages.

As for the HeatWTF, you are going to have to provide test data for that, and describe what it does, and when it needs to do it. etc. before I add any support for it.

Please test and let let us know how it goes etc.

[Aculeasis]

I tested new changes, it works fine.

As for the HeatWTF, you are going to have to provide test data for that, and describe what it does, and when it needs to do it. etc. before I add any support for it.

This doesn't matter for my A/C. I think this is for another A/C models or just means nothing.

Thanks for confirming it is working. \o/

As for the WTF thing, 🤷 If it isn't breaking anything not being set, and everything is working for you, then lets leave it alone for now.

I'll consider this fixed ones the PR is merged.

[crankyoldgit]

FYI, the changes mentioned above have now been included in the new v2.8.0 release of the library.
