KC868-UAIR ESPHOME Config for IR and RF
#1
I've recently received a bare board for a KC868-UAIR as the original shipped with the tower case didn't work.  I've got the new board working with ESPHOME and Home Assistant using the config I was given and that works fine.  But the config didn't cover the buzzer, the IR receiver/transmitter and RF receiver/transmitter.  These are advertised features, so I want to make sure the new board works.  I got the buzzer working ok, but I'm struggling with the IR and RF.

I've been asked by the supplier to make a post here, so here it is :-)

What I've done so far is to try to read IR codes using the guide is ESPHOME located here:
https://esphome.io/components/remote_tra...p-infrared

Using the tech info on the KC868-UAIR I've added the following to my ESPHOME confg given the data located here:
https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1438

remote_receiver:
  pin: GPIO19
  dump: all


With that, the ESPHOME log says that the pin is high initially and that I should invert it.  Anyway, I placed the TV remote close the front of the board where the IR receiver is next to the USB ports and no data was received.  The TV did receive them as I have the TV directly behind the board and the TV worked (volume up/down)

So I inverted the pin with

remote_receiver:
  pin:
    number: GPIO19
    inverted: true
  dump: all


and while ESPHOME no longer suggested I needed to invert the pin, I still do not get any data being dumped out to the console.  I can see other messages like the temperature changes just fine.

Has anyone got a config that works for these extra devices as access to these was an important reason for my purchase?
