Configuring the IR Transmitter/Receiver

Unit IR uses the official ESPHome Remote Receiver and Remote Transmitter components to receive and transmit infrared signals.

1. Basic configuration example:

remote_receiver:
  pin: GPIOXX
  dump: all

remote_transmitter:
  pin: GPIOXX
  carrier_duty_percent: 50%

The GPIO pins depend on the controller device. For example, when using an AtomS3 series controller:

# GPIO1 receiver
remote_receiver:
  pin: GPIO1
  dump: all

# GPIO2 transmitter
remote_transmitter:
  pin: GPIO2
  carrier_duty_percent: 50%

3. Reference Example

After configuring the infrared transceiver, add the ESPHome platform required by your device. For example, use the Coolix protocol to control an air conditioner:

climate:
  - platform: coolix
    name: "Midea AC"
    visual:
      min_temperature: 18
      max_temperature: 30
      temperature_step: 1

After connecting to Home Assistant, you can view the Climate entity on the device page:
