A method to halt/pause IRrecv?

[Duckle29]

Hi there. I've been looking through the doxygen and the code itself, and from what I can tell there is no method that's the inverse of resume

I'm working on a project that uses IRsend to send a state to an AC when it gets a message over MQTT. It however also listens for the stock remote using IRrecv to keep track of the latest state.

Because of this I'm not always decoding a message before sending one, and can't rely on the receiving being paused from that. is there any IRrecv::halt or similar, and if not what would it take to make one? Is it as simple as:

void IRrecv::halt(void) {
  params.recvstate = kStopState;
}

Or are there other things that have to be set like stopping interrupts and such?

And after looking over while posting this I found disableIRIn() I'll use that for now. Is there any value in adding a halt() or would disableIRIn() always be preferable?

You got it in one. disableIRIn() & enableIRIn() are the way to do this. They are preferred, as they free/set up the interrupts & timers etc.
