Remote Transmitter

The remote_transmitter component lets you send various common remote control signals, such as infrared or 433 MHz radio frequency (RF) signals.

The component is split into two parts:

  • The remote transmitter “hub”, which defines the pin and a few additional settings, and…

  • Individual actions to send encoded remote signals.

See Setting up IR Devices and Setting up RF Devices for details.

Note

This component performs best with an ESP32 or variant; they have a dedicated hardware peripheral which ensures accurate signal timing.

# Example configuration entry
remote_transmitter:
  pin: GPIOXX
  carrier_duty_percent: 50%

Configuration variables:

  • pin (Required, Pin): The pin to transmit the remote signal on.

  • carrier_duty_percent (Optional, int): How much of the time the remote is on. For example, infrared protocols modulate the signal using a carrier signal. Set this to 50% if you’re using IR LEDs and 100% for RF applications like 433 MHz transmitters.

  • id (Optional, ID): Manually specify the ID used for code generation. Useful when multiple transmitters are connected to a single device.

ESP32 IDF configuration variables:

  • rmt_symbols (Optional, int): If use_dma is enabled, rmt_symbols represents the size of the driver’s internal DMA buffer. If DMA is not enabled, rmt_symbols determines the amount of RMT memory allocated to this component. Memory is shared by all receivers and transmitters. On variants other than ESP32 and ESP32-S2, only half of the symbol memory is available to transmitters. Each symbol is 32 bits and contains two values.

  • use_dma (Optional, boolean): Enable DMA on variants that support it.

  • eot_level (Optional, boolean): Overrides the default end of transmit level. Defaults to false unless pin is set to inverted or open-drain.

ESP32 Arduino configuration variables:

  • rmt_channel (Optional, int): The RMT channel to use. The following ESP32 variants have these channels available:

  • clock_divider (Optional, int): The clock divider used by the RMT peripheral. A clock divider of 80 leads to a resolution of 1 µs per tick, 160 leads to 2 µs. Allowed values are in range 1 to 255. Defaults to 80.

Automations:

  • on_transmit (Optional, Automation): An automation to perform before data is sent. Useful if the radio / IR hardware needs to change state or power on.

  • on_complete (Optional, Automation): An automation to perform after data has been sent. Useful if the radio / IR hardware needs to change state or power off.

# Example automation
remote_transmitter:
  ...
  on_transmit:
    then:
      - switch.turn_on: tx_enable
  on_complete:
    then:
      - switch.turn_off: tx_enable

Remote Transmitter Actions

Remote transmitters support a number of actions that can be used to send remote codes. All supported protocols are listed below. All actions have these additional configuration variables:

Configuration variables:

  • repeat (Optional): Defines the number of times the code is repeated when transmitted. By default, codes are sent only once.

    • times (templatable, int): The number of times to repeat the code.

    • wait_time (templatable, Time): The time to wait between repeats (in µs as a result of a lambda).

  • transmitter_id (Optional, ID): The remote transmitter to send the remote code with. Defaults to the first one defined in the configuration.

If you’re looking for the same functionality as is default in the rpi_rf integration in Home Assistant, you’ll want to set the times to 10 and the wait_time to 0s.

remote_transmitter.transmit_nec Action

This action sends an NEC infrared remote code to a remote transmitter.

Note

In version 2021.12, the order of transferring bits was corrected from MSB to LSB in accordance with the NEC standard. Therefore, if the configuration file has come from an earlier version of ESPhome, it is necessary to reverse the order of the address and command bits when moving to 2021.12 or above. For example, address: 0x84ED, command: 0x13EC becomes 0xB721 and 0x37C8, respectively. In additional, ESPHome does not automatically generate parity bits or pad values to 2 bytes. For example, to send command 0x0, you need to use 0xFF00 (0x00 being the command and 0xFF being the logical inverse).

This action sends a Samsung36 infrared remote code to a remote transmitter. It transmits the address and command in two packets separated by a “space”.

on_...:
  - remote_transmitter.transmit_samsung36:
      address: 0x0400
      command: 0x000E00FF

Configuration variables:

  • address (Required, int): The address to send, see dumper output for more details.

  • command (Required, int): The Samsung36 command to send, see dumper output for more details.

  • All other options from Remote Transmitter Actions.

remote_transmitter.transmit_sony Action

This action a Sony infrared remote code to a remote transmitter.

on_...:
  - remote_transmitter.transmit_sony:
      data: 0x123
      nbits: 12

Configuration variables:

  • data (Required, int): The Sony code to send, see dumper output for more info.

  • nbits (Optional, int): The number of bits to send. Defaults to 12.

  • All other options from Remote Transmitter Actions.

remote_transmitter.transmit_toshiba_ac Action

This action sends a Toshiba AC infrared remote code to a remote transmitter.

Note

This action transmits codes using the new(er) Toshiba AC protocol and likely will not work with older units.

on_...:
  - remote_transmitter.transmit_toshiba_ac:
      rc_code_1: 0xB24DBF4040BF
      rc_code_2: 0xD5660001003C

Configuration variables:

  • rc_code_1 (Required, int): The remote control code to send, see dumper output for more details.

  • rc_code_2 (Optional, int): The secondary remote control code to send; some codes are sent in two parts.

  • All other options from Remote Transmitter Actions.

remote_transmitter.transmit_mirage Action

This action sends a 112-bit Mirage code to a remote transmitter. 8-bits of checksum added automatically.

on_...:
  - remote_transmitter.transmit_mirage:
      code: [0x56, 0x77, 0x00, 0x00, 0x22, 0xC0, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00]

Configuration variables:

remote_transmitter.transmit_toto Action

This action sends a Toto infrared remote code to a remote transmitter.

on_...:
  - remote_transmitter.transmit_toto:
      command: 0xED  # Set water and seat temperature
      rc_code_1: 0x0 # Water heater off
      rc_code_2: 0x0 # Seat heater off
      # Repeats 3 times at a 32ms interval by default

Configuration variables:

  • command (Required, int): The 1-byte Toto command code to send. Range is 0 to 0xFF.

  • rc_code_1 (Optional, int): The first 4-bit Toto code (usually a command parameter) to send. Range is 0 to 0xF.

  • rc_code_2 (Optional, int): The second 4-bit Toto code (usually a command parameter) to send. Range is 0 to 0xF.

  • All other options from Remote Transmitter Actions.

    • Note: Toto remotes repeat all codes three times at a 32ms interval. This behavior will occur by default, but may be overridden by specifying repeat and wait time configuration variables.

RC Switch Protocol

All RC Switch protocol settings have these settings:

  • Either the value is an integer, then the inbuilt protocol definition with the given number is used.

  • Or a key-value mapping is given, then there are these settings:

    • pulse_length (Required, int): The pulse length of the protocol - how many microseconds one pulse should last for.

    • sync (Optional): The number of high/low pulses for the sync header, defaults to [1, 31]

    • zero (Optional): The number of high/low pulses for a zero bit, defaults to [1, 3]

    • one (Optional): The number of high/low pulses for a one bit, defaults to [3, 1]

    • inverted (Optional, boolean): If this protocol is inverted. Defaults to false.

Lambda calls

Actions may also be called from lambdas. The .transmit() call can be populated with encoded data for a specific protocol by following the example below. See the full API Reference for more info.

  • .transmit(): Transmit an IR code using the remote transmitter.

    // Example - transmit using the Pioneer protocol
auto call = id(my_transmitter).transmit();
esphome::remote_base::PioneerData data = { rc_code_1, rc_code_2 };
esphome::remote_base::PioneerProtocol().encode(call.get_data(), data);
call.set_send_times(2);
call.perform();
