How to use channel 5,6,7,8 - tenabiker - 04-23-2025
If only 4 channel can be used by ESP Home, is there any way to use channel 5,6,7,8 of AG8 module ?

I tried that first,, using KCS interface I could try channels 1-4 (didnt tried others). Unfortunatelly I couldnt make homeassistant work with it. Is there any tutorial for that ?
Is there any way to use climate platform with KCS firmware just by indicating AC brand and model for example?
THanks

Hi , thanks for reply.
But in this case we do need to leard code by code. Is there any way to use climate platform and only point to ir channel at AG8 ?
One more thing, I could not make it work with homeassistant. It is auto discovering, but did not add to device lists. Using 3.9.1 kcs and latest HA update.

1. if you want use ESPHome, ESPHome only support 4 channel IR sender for ESP32-S3 chip. Maybe in future, they will update for ESPHome.
2. you can integraet by mqtt for every IR signal manually.
