Posted at 2019-01-15 by Ossama i did manage to make it work by getting the puck closer to the AC unit. |

Posted at 2019-01-15 by Ollie I'd make sure the battery is perfect, or you power it via other means. The range is not very far, but I had difficulty capturing and replaying a signal with a poor battery. A new battery improved things. |

Posted at 2019-01-15 by Ollie It can be done. Have you seen this tutorial from Gordon, this demonstrates it. I had it working for my TV. |

Posted at 2019-01-15 by Ossama bingo! I used IrScrutinizer to generate signals for Pronto Hex. over at remotecentral.com i got the protocol to use fujitsu A/c. and along wth the PDF in the link above, i was abl to generate all the required codes. |

Posted at 2019-01-15 by @gfwilliams Great! Glad you got it sorted! About the IR range: It's worth checking your firmware is recent-ish. The original Puck.js devices shipped with a firmware that didn't give as much IR range as later firmwares do. Even so, Puck.js's range isn't great - realistically around a 1 meter. You can get a little more with the silicone case off (or if you cut a hole in the silicone where the IR transmitter is) but then it's very directional. It'd be great if you were willing to share your code for this - I imagine the Fujitsu air conditioners are pretty common. |

Posted at 2021-06-21 by sadpomoi Thanks, the problem was with my firmware. I've tried a lot of Pronto Hex codes, but none of them worked. I've also put the puck as close to the air conditioner as possible. Firstly - as you can understand, it didn't work. Secondly, I had to rearrange it from time to time, since my air conditioner is often cleaned by airconservicing.or. I have even replaced the battery, even though I haven't any complaints about it. I just can't get how the firmware can literally disable my IR blaster. And why developers couldn't make stable firmware from the start. |

Posted at 2021-06-21 by @gfwilliams Ok, great! Also just to add that the Puck.js v2 has substantially better range than the original Puck.js (when the firmware is up to date - so 2v09 or later) |

Hi,
I have tried using the IR on the Puck.js to operate a Fujitsu Air conditioner, it seems that the IR learning does not do anything to the Unit. so i tried searching for the Pronto Hex codes. i did find the following but again no luck.

here is the code i am using
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
