How to disable BEEP on Samsung AC?

[sblantipodi]

As title,
I'm tying this and it doesn't work.

      acir.setBeep(!acir.getBeep());
      acir.off();
      acir.sendOff(IR_RETRY);

or this:

      acir.setBeep(false);
      acir.off();
      acir.sendOff(IR_RETRY);

am I doing something wrong?
thanks!

Try:

      acir.setBeep(false);  // Turn off the beep.
      acir.off();  // Tell the AC to turn off.
      acir.send();

You should only need to do setBeep(false); once for the acir object, unless you do a acir.reset();
If I recall correctly, you don't need to use the special '.sendOff()` method anymore. I think we fixed it to work correctly like all the other A/C classes.

@crankyoldgit it does not work on my Samsung AC.
how can I reset the acir object between one command and the other?

reset() function does not exist.

Sorry. I mis-remembered it's name. it's acir.stateReset();. see docs: https://crankyoldgit.github.io/IRremoteESP8266/doxygen/html/classIRSamsungAc.html#aca419bc06e113198249a0b9637820cab

ok, I confirm that setBeep does not work on my Samsung AC even after a stateReset()...

acir.stateReset();
acir.off();
acir.setBeep(false);
acir.send(5);

My guess is your model is doing something different for Beep control.
You will need to look at the decoded output from the real remote to see what your model uses.
See: https://github.com/crankyoldgit/IRremoteESP8266/wiki/Adding-support-for-a-new-AC-protocol#binary-settings
for how to work that out.

@crankyoldgit I tried but never succeded, the weird thing is that setBeep(true); works well, setBeep(false); not

[crankyoldgit]

I just looked at the code. Samsung's beep setting is a "Toggle".
See:

IRremoteESP8266/src/ir_Samsung.cpp

Lines 599 to 601 in dc0fd31

	/// Set the Beep toggle setting of the A/C.
	/// @param[in] on true, the setting is on. false, the setting is off.
	void IRSamsungAc::setBeep(const bool on) { _.BeepToggle = on; }

When it is set, the next send will cause the A/C to swap it from On to Off, or Off to On. The Beep state is stored in the A/C unit.
The library has no way of determining the what that state is on the A/C unit. All it can do is toggle it.

what do you mean for toggle?
suppose that I know that the beep is on, what is the correct way to set it off?

thanks.

// Assuming the A/C has beep already on/active.

acir.setBeep(true);  // Toggle the beep setting on next send.
acir.send();  // The beep toggle command/bit will be sent.
// In theory, the beep should be turned off now.
acir.setBeep(false);  // Turn off toggling the beep setting.
acir.setTemp(25);
acir.send();  // The Beep setting command/bit has been turned off, so the Beep shouldn't change on the A/C
acir.setBeep(true);   // Toggle the beep setting on next send, so it should flip on the AC.
acir.send();   // The beep toggle command/bit will be sent.
// In theory, the beep should be turned on now.
acir.setTemp(26);
acir.send();  // Temp should now be 26, and the Beep toggle setting is still set, so it should flip on the AC.
// In theory, the beep should be turned off now.

ok now that I understood better how a toggle works it works :D
it was my fault.
thanks for the explanations!
