Simple python script to create a gateway using Tuya IR emitter device to control Toshiba AC Appliance.
This builds on top of Paho MQTT, Tinytuya and Toshiba-AC.
https://github.com/tyge68/toshiba-ac
Toshiba IR code is computed directly in the code, meaning that the IR device needs to be defined in Tuya App but there is no need to add the AC device itself
Configuration is performed in config.json file. An example file is given, juste rename and fill the data.
The Tuya device is configured using the topic as follows:
MQTT_TOPIC_PREFIX/DEVICE_ID/DEVICE_KEY_ALMOST_AS_BASE64/set
Device ID and key shall be found using other means (see all tuya related documentation).
The key shall be encoded in base64. However, due to the fact that some base64 characters are not allowed in topic names, all + characters shall be replaced by !.
For instance the following :
home/toshiba_ac/bfe5db22febf00458edaqf/UihWTyA7Y1sjBVRHXWp4Iw==/set
MQTT message shall have the following format:
{"mode": "heating", "fan":"auto", "temp":"22 °C"}
Mode can be:
heatingcoolingdryingauto
Fan can be a value from 1 to 6. Any other value will be considered as "auto"
Temperature needs to be in Celsius. The unit is not necessary but will be remove if present in the payload.
A "unit" key could be present (optional) to separate A and B devices.
Special mode is also optional with the special_mode key:
