I am in the same boat. The manual states that parameter 27 is where the custom IR codes should be placed. I noticed that if you right-click / control-click (Mac) on your device in the ISY admin, you can set a parameter.
I have two mini splits I would love to control, however I was not successful in getting any commands to the units. It appears that the parameters are set, however, I can't get either of the units to do anything. I have tried all of the codes listed for each mini split to no avail.
For what it is worth, my ZXT120 is v.1.7 and both units are listed in the v1.8 manual. However, I don't believe that is the issue as comparing other manufacturer codes from 1..7 to 1.8 doesn't seem to show the codes are different.
Can someone help me to better understand how to see all of the information the ZXT120 (which the ISY sees as a thermostat) has to cough up, like parameters? Also, any thoughts on how to test IR other than see if the AC unit turns on or off?
