Example Zlipper Zero RAW IR file:
Filetype: IR signals file
Version: 1
#
name: RAW_155
type: raw
frequency: 38000
duty_cycle: 0.330000
data: 3975 4024 485 1997 484 1996 485 ...
Simplified explanations:
- The
frequency:represents the signal's carrier frequency in Hz. 38000 (38kHz) is very common. - The
data_cycle:kind of represents how "bright" the LED was; a value of 1 is full brightness. This value usually doesn't matter here. - Each number in the
data:section indicates the duration (in microseconds) of an alternating digital HIGH and digital LOW signal, as recorded by the Flipper's IR receiver. The first number is always a HIGH value.
ESPHome's Remote Transmitter component includes a transmit_raw action that can be used to replicate this captured signal. But unlike the Flipper file, it requires the data values to be explicitely marked as HIGH or LOW.
- HIGH is represented by positive values
- LOW is represented by negative values
To convert to ESPHome's raw data format, just make every other data value negative, separate each value with a comma, and enclose the entire list in square brackets. So the above data would become:
- remote_transmitter.transmit_raw:
carrier_frequency: 38kHz
code: [3975, -4024, 485, -1997, 484, -1996, 485, ...]
