I wrote my own version (heavily) based on yours

Take a look at my implementation https://github.com/lukasgabriel/DL_smart_aircon :)

Since I could not get your version to work with my MQTT broker - the ESP8266 crashed on me every time I sent a json message - I wrote my own version in python (heavily based on yours though - great work on the reverse-engineering!).

In my version, the python code which translates the parameters of the desired AC state is supposed to be run server-side, and only the 32 bits needed for the IR command are sent to the ESP8266 via MQTT. Switching to this method and adapting the Arduino code, I managed to get it to work reliably.

The other modules in my repo are supposes to help one integrate the AC unit into a smart home system and to provide an interface to Homebridge or other Smart Assistants.

Just thought I'd share my work since it would not have been possible without your code :) If you are still working on this, feel free to use some of it in your repo or link to it in your README

Thanks!

I'm no longer working on it.
My personal version of the code is now in node-red sending the commands to tasmota.

But this stays here as documentation of the protocol.
