Add Panasonic CW-HU70ZA window A/C (Broadlink, code 1035)

Adds a SmartIR climate code for a Panasonic window-type air-conditioner (Hong Kong, ~2023; remote ACXA75C20160). The codes are generated from a reverse-engineered protocol spec, not from raw recordings, and every generated frame is round-trip verified against an independent decoder.

Highlights

• operationModes: auto / cool / dry / heat
• fanModes: auto / low / mediumLow / medium / mediumHigh / high
• swingModes: auto, fixed, plus auto_nanoex / fixed_nanoex — the unit's nanoeX feature is folded into the swing dropdown because SmartIR's climate schema has no slot for an extra toggle.
• Temperature range 16–30 °C at 0.5 °C resolution (precision: 0.5). The protocol carries this in byte 14 (= °C × 2), so the half-degree maps to byte 14 bit 0.
• Supported models (Panasonic HK inverter window-type A/C family; full part numbers listed for searchability):
  • Tested / verified: CW-HU70ZA (my unit; remote ACXA75C20160).
  • Untested but same protocol family (expected to work): CW-HU90ZA, CW-HU120ZA, CW-HU180ZA, CW-HU70AA, CW-HU90AA, CW-HU120AA, CW-HU180AA, CW-HZ70AA, CW-HZ90AA, CW-HZ180AA.
  • CW-HU* = cooling-only; CW-HZ* = heat pump (also uses the heat mode). The ZA suffix is the ~2023 generation, AA is the current "Inverter PRO Wi-Fi" refresh. Cooling-only units ignore heat; non-nanoeX units ignore the nanoeX swing options.
• Quiet / Powerful are not part of the climate entity: the AC sends them as short, dedicated 16-byte toggle frames (no mode/temp/fan/swing), so they're shipped as standalone HA script/button entities (see attachment below).

This unit is the IRremoteESP8266 Panasonic A/C protocol (same 02 20 E0 04 signature, 27-byte LSB-first state, sum(state[8..25]) & 0xFF checksum), with two model-specific quirks: nanoeX lives in byte 25 bit 0x04 (the library doesn't model it), and Quiet/Powerful are short toggle frames rather than bits in byte 21.

Please read the protocol write-up below for the full details (physical layer, frame layout, checksum, every field, the fixed magic bytes, the short toggle frame, and a comparison to IRremoteESP8266). The generator script and the Quiet/Powerful YAML are attached for reference / reproducibility.

Panasonic Window A/C — Infra‑Red Remote Protocol

A complete, from‑scratch description of the IR protocol used by my Panasonic
window air‑conditioner, reverse‑engineered from Broadlink RF/IR captures. It is
written so that a reader with no prior knowledge of Panasonic A/C remotes
can reconstruct a valid signal byte‑for‑byte: carrier, mark/space timing, frame
layout, repetition, checksum, every field, the fixed "magic" bytes, and the
separate short frame used by the Quiet and Powerful buttons.

---

1. Applicable models

The air‑conditioner itself is a Panasonic window‑type unit (Hong Kong,
~2023). I think it is a CW-HU70ZA, but that is from memory — the appliance
model number is not printed on the unit's outer shell where I looked, and it
is not encoded in the IR signal either, so I can't confirm it from the
capture.

What I can read off the hardware is the remote control part number:
ACXA75C20160 (see §1.1 for what that means). Note the remote part number is
likewise not present in the IR frame — the frame only carries Panasonic's
generic model bytes (§7/§9), so the remote number and the appliance number
cannot be derived from each other or from the bytes.

The frame carries Panasonic's generic A/C signature (02 20 E0 04 …, see
§7), which is shared across essentially the whole Panasonic A/C line. In
practice this same protocol — possibly minus features such as nanoeX on
cooling‑only units — should drive the current Hong Kong window range, e.g. the
models listed at
Panasonic HK — Window Air‑Conditioner.
Units without nanoeX simply ignore the nanoeX bit (§6.6); cooling‑only units
ignore the heat mode value.

1.1 Remote part number ACXA75C20160

This is a standard Panasonic remote‑control spare‑part number, not an encoding
of any AC capability. It breaks down as:

Part	Meaning
ACXA75C	Panasonic's fixed prefix for A/C infra‑red remote controls (the A75C series).
20160	The specific remote variant (button layout + IR code set). Just an identifier — it does not decode into mode/feature bits.

The same remote is commonly written three ways: full part number ACXA75C20160,
short A75C20160, or just the 20160 that is usually printed on the back of
the remote. (Older units sometimes use a CWA75C… molding number for the same
thing.) To find a replacement you match this exact number, because each one
is tied to a specific group of AC models and a proprietary IR code set
(example listings).

I could not find a public listing for ACXA75C20160 specifically, but its
format is genuine and its 201xx range sits alongside other recent (2020s)
remotes such as ACXA75C21620 / ACXA75C21700, which is consistent with a
~2023 unit. The trailing digits are roughly sequential by release, not a feature
code — so they tell you which remote, not what the protocol does.

Everything below is empirical, decoded from recorded signals, not taken
from a datasheet. Where a byte's purpose is unverified it is called out.

---

2. Physical layer

Property	Value
Modulation	Carrier‑modulated IR, ~38 kHz carrier
Line coding	Pulse distance (constant mark, data carried in the space)
Bit order	LSB‑first within each byte
Logic	A "mark" = carrier ON (IR LED pulsing); a "space" = carrier OFF

2.1 Timing (measured, with canonical Panasonic values)

All marks have the same length; the following space distinguishes a 0
from a 1.

Element	Measured	Canonical Panasonic
Leader / header mark	~3472 µs	3456 µs
Leader / header space	~1766 µs	1728 µs
Bit mark (every bit)	~439 µs	432 µs
0 space (after mark)	~439 µs	432 µs
1 space (after mark)	~1278 µs	1296 µs
Section gap (between the two frames)	~10.1 ms	10 000 µs
Message gap (trailing, after frame 2)	~101 ms	100 000 µs

Decision rule for a receiver: after each ~440 µs mark, measure the space —
space ≳ 850 µs → 1, else 0 (a threshold halfway between 439 and 1278 µs
is robust).

---

3. Frame structure & repetition

One button press transmits one message made of two sections (frames):

[HDR mark][HDR space] [Frame‑1 bits][bit mark]      <- 8 bytes (64 bits)
[10 ms section gap]
[HDR mark][HDR space] [Frame‑2 bits][bit mark]      <- 19 bytes (152 bits)
[100 ms message gap]

• Each frame begins with the header (3456 µs mark + 1728 µs space).
• Each frame ends with a single trailing bit mark (~432 µs) so the last
  space can be measured; the section/message gap follows.
• Frame 1 = 8 bytes, Frame 2 = 19 bytes, for a 27‑byte (216‑bit)
  state.
• The message is generally sent once per press (no internal repeat); the
  receiver acts on a single well‑formed message. Re‑sending the identical
  message is idempotent for absolute fields (mode/temp/fan/swing) because they
  are absolute, not relative.

The Quiet/Powerful buttons are the exception — they send a much shorter
16‑byte message (§8).

---

4. Bit / byte encoding

Bits are packed LSB‑first: the first bit received is bit 0 of the byte, the
eighth bit is bit 7.

received bits:  b0 b1 b2 b3 b4 b5 b6 b7
byte value   =  b0 | b1<<1 | b2<<2 | … | b7<<7

Example: spaces decoded as 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 → byte 0x02.

---

5. Checksum

The last byte of Frame 2 is a checksum:

checksum = ( sum of all Frame‑2 data bytes, excluding the checksum byte ) & 0xFF

For the full 27‑byte state that is sum(state[8 .. 25]) & 0xFF == state[26]
(bytes 8–25 are exactly the 18 data bytes of Frame 2 before the checksum).

The short Quiet/Powerful frame uses the same rule over its own shorter
Frame 2: sum(state[8 .. 14]) & 0xFF == state[15] (§8).

Frame 1 has no checksum (it is a fixed preamble, §7).

---

6. Full state frame (27 bytes)

Byte map below was confirmed across 723 captured full frames. "CONST" bytes
are identical in every capture (the reproducible "magic"); "FIELD" bytes carry
settings.

Byte	Value(s)	Role
0	02	CONST — Frame‑1 magic
1	20	CONST — Frame‑1 magic
2	E0	CONST — Frame‑1 magic
3	04	CONST — Frame‑1 magic
4	00	CONST
5	00	CONST
6	00	CONST
7	06	CONST — end of Frame‑1 magic
8	02	CONST — Frame‑2 magic (repeats the signature)
9	20	CONST — Frame‑2 magic
10	E0	CONST — Frame‑2 magic
11	04	CONST — Frame‑2 magic
12	00	CONST (full frame). 0x80 marks the short toggle frame, §8
13	FIELD	Power + Mode (§6.1, §6.2)
14	FIELD	Temperature (§6.3)
15	80	CONST
16	FIELD	Fan speed (high nibble) + Swing (low nibble) (§6.4, §6.5). On this unit the moving louver is horizontal; IRremoteESP8266 calls this nibble vertical swing (§6.5)
17	0D	CONST — IRremoteESP8266's horizontal‑swing nibble; our value 0x0D = its "SwingH Auto" and never changes (§6.5/§9)
18	00	CONST
19	0E	CONST — timer field, "disabled" special value
20	E0	CONST — timer field, "disabled" special value
21	00	CONST — Quiet/Powerful bits in the IRremoteESP8266 model; always 0 here (we use the short frame instead, §8/§9)
22	00	CONST — Ion/filter bit on DKE models; unused here
23	81	CONST — model signature byte (JKE‑family, §9)
24	00	CONST — clock field (window unit has no clock)
25	FIELD	Feature byte — bit 0x04 = nanoeX (§6.6)
26	FIELD	Checksum (§5)

A known‑good baseline (Auto, 16 °C, fan Auto, swing Auto, nanoeX on):

Frame1: 02 20 E0 04 00 00 00 06
Frame2: 02 20 E0 04 00 01 20 80 AF 0D 00 0E E0 00 00 81 00 06 D8

6.1 Power — byte 13, bit 0

bit 0	Meaning
1	On
0	Off

"Off" is sent as a normal full frame with bit 0 cleared (e.g. byte 13 = 0x00).

6.2 Mode — byte 13, high nibble (bits 4–7)

Nibble	Mode
0	Auto
2	Dry
3	Cool
4	Heat

So byte 13 = (modeNibble << 4) | powerBit. Observed values: 0x00 (off/auto),
0x01 (auto on), 0x21 (dry on), 0x31 (cool on), 0x41 (heat on).

6.3 Temperature — byte 14

temperature °C = byte14 / 2           (byte14 = round(°C × 2))

Range 16–30 °C → byte 14 = 0x20…0x3C. In every captured frame the
remote sent whole degrees, so byte 14 was always even (bit 0 = 0).

But because byte 14 is °C × 2, bit 0 is a 0.5 °C step, so half-degrees are
representable: e.g. 24.5 °C → round(24.5 × 2) = 0x31. Whether a given unit
actually acts on the half-degree bit is untested — the generated SmartIR
file sets precision: 0.5 to try it.

6.4 Fan speed — byte 16, high nibble (bits 4–7)

Nibble	Fan
A	Auto
3	Low
4	Medium‑Low
5	Medium
6	Medium‑High
7	High

(Other nibble values are not produced by this remote.)

6.5 Swing — byte 16, low nibble (bits 0–3)

On my unit (a window A/C) this controls the horizontal louver — there is
no separate vertical‑swing feature. The values observed are:

Nibble	Swing
F	Auto (swing on / oscillating)
5	Fixed (vane held at the set position)

byte 16 = (fanNibble << 4) | swingNibble, e.g. 0xAF = fan Auto + swing Auto;
0x35 = fan Low + swing Fixed.

Comparison with IRremoteESP8266 — and why the axis label differs. In
IRremoteESP8266 this exact nibble (byte 16 low) is vertical swing
(getSwingVertical / setSwingVertical), while horizontal swing lives in
byte 17 low nibble (getSwingHorizontal). So the position you control is the
one the library labels vertical, not horizontal. The names are a
split‑wall‑unit convention (airflow tilted up/down vs panned left/right); a
window unit has a single louver, so what you see as "horizontal" sits in the
byte‑16 slot the library calls "vertical." Mapping the values:

byte	nibble	Your unit	IRremoteESP8266 constant
16 low	F	swing on / auto	kPanasonicAcSwingVAuto (0xF) — exact match
16 low	5	fixed	kPanasonicAcSwingVLowest (0x5) — i.e. vane parked at the lowest detent
17 low	D (constant)	unused / always this	kPanasonicAcSwingHAuto (0xD) — "horizontal swing = auto", left untouched

So your "fixed" position is, in the library's vocabulary, the lowest vertical
detent (0x5), and your byte 17 is pinned to the library's horizontal‑auto
value (0xD) because your remote never drives that second axis. Other
IRremoteESP8266 vertical values you won't see from this remote: Highest 0x1,
High 0x2, Middle 0x3, Low 0x4.

6.6 nanoeX — byte 25, mask 0x04

byte 25 & 0x04	nanoeX
set (0x06)	On
clear (0x02)	Off

Confirmed by holding everything else constant and toggling only nanoeX: the
only changed bit (besides the checksum) was byte 25 0x04. The 0x02 bit is
a constant base value for this byte. Cooling‑only / non‑nanoeX units ignore it.

---

7. Fixed "magic" bytes (required to reproduce)

These never change and must be emitted verbatim or the unit ignores the
frame:

Frame‑1 (all 8):   02 20 E0 04 00 00 00 06
Frame‑2 fixed:     bytes 8–12  = 02 20 E0 04 00
                   byte 15     = 80
                   bytes 17–24 = 0D 00 0E E0 00 00 81 00
                   (byte 25 base = 02, plus nanoeX 0x04)

02 20 E0 04 is the Panasonic A/C manufacturer/protocol signature and
appears at the start of both frames. Bytes 19–20 (0E E0) encode the
"timer disabled" special value, and byte 23 (81) is the model signature.

---

8. Short frame — Quiet / Powerful toggle

The Quiet and Powerful buttons do not send the full state. They send
a dedicated 16‑byte message: the normal 8‑byte Frame 1, then a shortened
8‑byte Frame 2. Captured bytes:

Quiet:     02 20 E0 04 00 00 00 06 | 02 20 E0 04 80 81 33 3A
Powerful:  02 20 E0 04 00 00 00 06 | 02 20 E0 04 80 86 35 41
                                     ^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ ^^
                                     magic       payload  cksum

Byte	Quiet	Powerful	Role
8–11	02 20 E0 04	02 20 E0 04	Frame‑2 magic (same signature)
12	80	80	short‑frame marker (0x80; full frame has 0x00)
13	81	86	command payload
14	33	35	command payload
15	3A	41	checksum = sum(bytes 8–14) & 0xFF

Both verified: sum(02+20+E0+04+80+81+33)&0xFF = 0x3A ✓ and
sum(02+20+E0+04+80+86+35)&0xFF = 0x41 ✓ — i.e. the same checksum rule as the
full frame, just over the shorter body.

Why these behave as pure toggles. The frame is physically too short to
contain the mode/temperature/fan/swing/nanoeX fields (those live at bytes
13/14/16/25 of the 19‑byte Frame 2, which is absent here). So the message says
only "toggle Quiet" / "toggle Powerful" and the unit keeps whatever it was
already running. This matches the observed behaviour: pressing Quiet/Powerful
changes nothing else. It is not that the A/C "ignores" other fields when a
bit is set — there simply are no other fields in this frame.

To reproduce, replay these two captures verbatim; do not synthesise them
from a full‑state encoder.

---

9. Comparison with IRremoteESP8266

IRremoteESP8266
(ir_Panasonic.cpp / .h) is the de‑facto reference for Panasonic A/C IR. Our
unit is that protocol — same carrier, same timings, same 27‑byte
LSB‑first state, same checksum (sum(state[8..25]) & 0xFF), same 02 20 E0 04
signature and the same kPanasonicAcSection1 = {02,20,E0,04,00,00,00,06}
preamble. Differences are in a few model bytes and in how features are sent.

9.1 Magic / signature bytes

Byte	Ours	IRremoteESP8266 meaning	Notes
0–7	02 20 E0 04 00 00 00 06	Section‑1 constant	Exact match
8–11	02 20 E0 04	Section‑2 signature	Exact match
15	80	constant in known‑good state	match
16 (low)	F/5	vertical swing nibble (getSwingVertical)	our physical louver is horizontal but lives in this slot; F=SwingVAuto, 5=SwingVLowest (§6.5)
17	0D	horizontal swing nibble (getSwingHorizontal)	our value 0x0D = kPanasonicAcSwingHAuto; pinned, never driven (window unit has one louver, §6.5)
19–20	0E E0	off‑timer field	encodes the "timer disabled" special value (0x600)
21	00	Quiet (bit 0) / Powerful (bit 5)	we never set these here — see §9.3
22	00	Ion / filter (bit 0), DKE only	unused on our unit
23	81	model signature	& 0x80 set ⇒ JKE‑family
25	02/06	clock byte in the library; 0x06 is the DKE reset constant	we repurpose bit 0x04 as nanoeX

9.2 Closest model

By signature bytes our unit is a hybrid:

• byte 23 = 0x81 (the 0x80 bit) is IRremoteESP8266's JKE marker.
  Its JKE detection additionally expects byte 17 == 0x00, but ours is
  0x0D, so the library would classify it as unknown while still decoding
  every standard field correctly.
• byte 25 defaulting to 0x06 matches the library's DKE reset constant
  (stateReset() sets remote_state[25] = 0x06 for kPanasonicDke).

Closest enumerated model: JKE (with a DKE‑like feature byte). For sending,
treat it as generic Panasonic A/C and preserve our exact constant bytes rather
than relying on a specific model preset.

9.3 Feature handling differs (important)

• nanoeX: IRremoteESP8266 has no concept of nanoeX. It treats byte 25 as
  a fixed model byte (0x00, or 0x06 for DKE) and never toggles it. Our
  empirical finding — byte 25 bit 0x04 = nanoeX — is beyond what the
  library models. A library‑generated frame would not carry/toggle nanoeX.
• Quiet / Powerful: IRremoteESP8266 encodes these as bits in the full
  27‑byte frame — kPanasonicAcQuietOffset = 0 and
  kPanasonicAcPowerfulOffset = 5, both in byte 21 (mutually exclusive).
  Our remote instead sends the short 16‑byte toggle frame (§8) and leaves
  byte 21 = 0x00 in every full frame. Consequence: driving the unit through an
  IRremoteESP8266‑style encoder would re‑transmit the whole state (re‑asserting
  mode/temp/fan/swing) to flip Quiet/Powerful — the opposite of our remote's
  minimal toggle.

---

10. End‑to‑end reconstruction recipe

To build, say, Cool, 24 °C, fan High, swing Auto, nanoeX on:

1. Frame 1 (fixed): 02 20 E0 04 00 00 00 06.
2. Frame 2 bytes 8–25, starting from the constants and filling fields:
   • 8–12: 02 20 E0 04 00
   • 13: mode Cool (3) + power on (1) → 0x31
   • 14: 24 °C × 2 → 0x30 (a half-degree such as 24.5 °C → round(24.5 × 2) = 0x31)
   • 15: 80
   • 16: fan High (7) + swing Auto (F) → 0x7F
   • 17–24: 0D 00 0E E0 00 00 81 00
   • 25: base 0x02 + nanoeX 0x04 → 0x06
3. Checksum byte 26 = sum(bytes 8..25) & 0xFF.
4. Transmit: header → Frame 1 bits (LSB‑first, pulse‑distance) → trailing bit
   mark → 10 ms gap → header → Frame 2 bits → trailing bit mark → 100 ms
   gap. Each bit = ~432 µs mark + (432 µs for 0 / 1296 µs for 1) space.

For Quiet/Powerful, skip all of this and replay the captured 16‑byte frame
from §8 verbatim.

---

11. Broadlink capture notes (for replay tooling)

The raw captures are Broadlink IR packets, Base64‑encoded:

• Byte 0 = 0x26 (IR), byte 1 = repeat count, bytes 2–3 = payload length
  (little‑endian).
• Payload = pulse durations in Broadlink ticks, converted with
  µs = ticks × 8192 / 269 (1 tick ≈ 30.46 µs).
• A duration > 255 ticks is encoded as 0x00 followed by a big‑endian
  uint16 (note: the length header is little‑endian, but these extension values
  are big‑endian — easy to get wrong, and it only affects the long gap values,
  not the bit timings).
• Packet ends with the standard 0x0D 0x05 trailer / padding.

Demodulation: strip the wrapper, split on the ~10 ms section gap into Frame 1 /
Frame 2, take every (mark, space) pair, map space>threshold→1, pack LSB‑first.
