- Decode IR binary files for air conditioners (AC)
- Decode IR binary files for TV devices
- Query supported AC modes, wind speeds, swing options, and temperature ranges
- Generate IR timing data for remote control signals
## Requirements
- Operating System: Windows 10 or later
- IDE: Visual Studio 2019 or later
- Build Tools: MSVC v142 (VS2019) or v143 (VS2022)
## Building
