TCL 112 Protocol Turbo Wrong Position on TAC-12/XA73

[Geravandi]

The Turbo setting on my TCL TAC-12/XA73 Split Airco (don't know the model of the remote) is stored in a different bit.
In the original protocol the Turbo mode is set in bit 6 of Byte 6. While on my remote Turbo is stored in bit 7 of Byte 6.

Tested it by editing my local copy of "ir_Tcl.h" and it seems to work fine.

**Actually, most (but not all) features of the library work on the TCL TAC-12/XA73 (On/Off, Temp, Mode, Fan (including Quite and (now) Turbo), Light, Health, SwingV (but only Auto and Off), On of the things that are not working/missing are the Mid-Low and Mid-High Fan speeds. But these seems to be send via the kTcl112AcSpecial message type like the Quiet setting.

Modified code:
// Byte 6
uint8_t Mode :4;
uint8_t Health :1;
uint8_t :1;
uint8_t Turbo :1;
uint8_t :1;

Original Code:
// Byte 6
uint8_t Mode :4;
uint8_t Health :1;
uint8_t Turbo :1;
uint8_t :2;

Probably easy enough to code up. But can you see if there is some ways to tell the models apart from the message code/array? If we can find that, we can have the library detect the difference.

Please let us know if you find something.

Please let us know if you find something.

I have no idea how to do this or where to begin. I can send you some more dumps from my remote if that helps. Picture below of my remote.

[crankyoldgit]

Compare the hex string generated by the library and your remote. If there are other differences other then the but you're talking about, they may help

[Geravandi]

It all looks the same, except that some functions are stored in different places (like Turbo) and for the (extra) functions that my remote has, like iFeel.
