Description

**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**

MrCool IR remote feature in IR Remote Climate please. MrCool IR remote looks identical, and has the same model number as Pioneer units, so there is a chance that it is the same protocol... Remote : RG57A6 .

**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**

I tried all available protocols, from coolix to hitachi_ac344 and nothing works.

**Additional context**

I am using NodeMCU and IR diode: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0816P2545/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . Using 5V as a power source. I can confirm that diode works, and that unit reacts to standard remote.

Research direction

Begin at the IR Remote Climate integration and review how the existing coolix and hitachi_ac344 protocols are represented. Use the RG57A6 remote with the stated NodeMCU and IR diode setup to compare signals; done means the MrCool unit responds reliably to the required climate commands.
