how to controller old air con by wifi

[ril7979]

Hi all, Our indoor bowls club has air con/heating with Toshiba Control Units and I would like to control the system remotely.

Has anyone with experience any suggestions as to how?



I thought of some kind of unit which minmick a remote controller but we don't have any remotes.

Seem to be a few projects kicking about (maybe even commercial units) to use an ESP processor module & an IR interface to drive these from a standard home automation setup.

Google will get you there with the right keywords, seems lots of people have wanted similar.

Can they be controlled via IR remote controls?

If so then there’s a well established product that does exactly this. Sensibo. They work well.

Most people using HomeAssistant using the BroadlinkRM 3 or mini as an IR blaster to replicate the originals devices controls and set up routines based on other sensors in the house.

Edit: broadlink not broadcom, auto correct.
