Remote Transmitter: request to support "SYMPHONY" protocol

[duchenpaul]

Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like

One of my IR remote controller is using SYMPHONY (related lib) as encode protocol which is not supported in esphome.

Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:

I tried to replay raw data, but not working.

Additional context

Add support for this protocol just like what we are doing here.

bump! I would like to get the symphony protocol too

[Jilas]

Agree this would be useful, as it could well explain issues with Westinghouse Ceiling Fans (Remote ID6 - which is mentioned within the Symphony listings) as no matter how I try, I cannot send the raw signals out the fan is ignoring it.

Yes please, I'm also trying to get a westinghouse Model 6/ID 6 working and cannot decode with receiver, this would help me a lot.

[Andyw222]

Yes please also having the same issue with the Westinghouse 6/ID6 and can't decode with the receiver

[alexberry]

For anyone who wants a workaround in the interim, here's a gist for a Westinghouse 6 Infrared sender with HA integration using Symphony from crankyoldgit/IRremoteESP8266 & home assistant integration via mqtt with dawidchyrzynski/arduino-home-assistant

Now I know why I could not get it to work!
Here also a Westinghouse 6/ID6 user.

Another one

And another one that needs this protocol for my fan. (not Westinghouse)
Tried throwing every other type at it like raw and pronto and it won't do a damn thing. 🤣
IRremoteESP8266 works fine with it on a dev board but I have a tuya IR blaster flashed with esphome I want to use.

Did anyone find workaround for this issue? Even raw doesn't work for me.

I use raw. If raw doesn't work for you, you may have a different issue, like an inverted pin on the receiver (causing your captured signals to be wrong) or a missing "carrier_duty_percent: 50%" declaration in the transmitter. (The latter was a problem for me.)
