Unknown state & how to pair? about esphome_c1101 HOT 9 CLOSED

Hi @danieldotnl

Let me look into that, a colleague of mine also started using it and was wondering the same. In all fairness and honesty, I used a different setup earlier so I didn't have to relearn.

What you could try though is unplug/replug the unit itself and immediately send a command - that used to work on the older devices.

I'll look into it the coming days!

Wow, thanks for your incredibly fast reply :)
I just found out that the sensors (fan speed and timer) do receive updates when I just my itho remotes! So the cc1101 seems to be working.

I did try what you suggested (to unplug/replug) but I will try it again.

Yes, but in the espeasy solution, one needs to send a join command during this period: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRoO1TfkUKkyQlgzsmm7XzI3xyUXMBMrqwF6NJXVwQmykP6gMtsJWp-x2vYiHDEwyScqhsPkJHGGYs-/pub (you can read Dutch, right?)

I see (and yes, native Dutch) :)

I think if you add (c1101.h at line 150) another chunk like below it should work. The library (https://github.com/supersjimmie/IthoEcoFanRFT/blob/master/Master/Itho/IthoPacket.h) has the packets defined so it should work.

class FanSendIthoJoin : public Component, public Switch {
  public:

    void write_state(bool state) override {
      if ( state ) {
        rf.sendCommand(IthoJoin);
        State = "Join";
        Timer = 0;
        publish_state(!state);
      }
    }
};

And an accompanying (itho.yaml at line 43)

- platform: custom
  lambda: |-
    auto fansendjoin = new FanSendJoin();
    App.register_component(fansendjoin);
    return {fansendjoin};
  switches:
    name: "FanSendJoin"

Tom, it works!! It's a amazing, I owe you a big beer! :)

Note that there was a small error in the yaml you mentioned above, this:
auto fansendjoin = new FanSendJoin();
should be:
auto fansendjoin = new FanSendIthoJoin();

Off-topic:
I don't know esphome very well, but can't we make a service out of this in HA, instead of all the switches? I guess that would be more appropriate, especially since the switches immediately switch off once the command has been sent.

Applied fix, tnx (and notice to @tomduijf to try this as well :))

As per the comments on https://community.home-assistant.io/t/itho-daalderop-fan-rf-remote-with-c1101-and-esp8266/38710/17 please have a look at the updated code (including timers and HA fan example)
