Automatic learning of a communication protocol for remotely controlled air conditioning systems

The system of any of the preceding claims, further comprising a user device (210) connected to the first remote controller and configured to provide, upon an input from the user, instructions to the first remote controller to send to the AC system one of said defined commands.

The system of any of the preceding claims, wherein the format of each data frame is defined by the protocol of communication with the AC system, each data frame further comprising of:

• a header section;

The system of any of the preceding claims, wherein said first remote controller is a remote controller comprising said at least one processing logic.

The system of any of the preceding claims, wherein, during the training phase, said at least one processing logic configured to detect incorrect data frames.

A computer-implemented method (500) comprising:

• receive (510), during a training phase, by at least one receiver of electromagnetic waves (340, 341) of a first remote controller (230) and from a second remote controller (250b) associated to an air conditioning (AC) system (240), electromagnetic waves carrying a plurality of data frames corresponding respectively to a plurality of defined commands of the AC system;
• define (520), during said training phase, from said plurality of data frames corresponding to said plurality of defined commands of the AC system, a set of possible data frames corresponding respectively to a set of possible commands of the AC system defining a protocol of communication with the AC system;
• use (530), during an operating phase, at least emitter of electromagnetic waves (350) of the first remote controller to send to the AC system, upon an input from a user to send one of the possible commands, electromagnetic waves carrying one of the possible data frames corresponding to said one of the possible commands.
