Description
**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
I want to add my Remko AC RKL490 to the esp database of supported ac remote IR codes
This is the remote:

The REMKO-1613138 remote should be for the AC:
- Remko RKL495
- Remko RKL494
- Remko RKL491
- Remko RKL490
- TROTEC PAC 4600
- Novamatic CL 990
- Novamatic CL 1590
- Rexair C15000N
- Fischer ClimaButler (Clima|Butler) RCS-SD43UAI
- Fischer ClimaButler (Clima|Butler) RCS-SD43UWI
- freecom RCS-SD43UAI
- freecom RCS-SD43UWI
- Prem-i-air 15000 BTU
I guess there are all the same but branded different. Possible that there are more brands :D
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
The problem is that I got always a different raw ir code when I push the same button on the remote.
My esphome yaml is:
```
remote_receiver:
pin: GPIO13
dump: raw
```
Power button gives me:
```

when I push again:

```
**Additional context**
I only borrowed the remote control from a friend. I still have it for 2 days. I would be very grateful for any tips on IR code dumps.
I can't believe that a replacement remote control would cost €70!

Research direction
Start from the ESPHome AC remote-code database and the remote_receiver YAML configuration shown in the issue. Compare repeated raw dumps from the REMKO-1613138 remote, determine whether they represent a stable code, and document or add verified support for the listed compatible models; done means the code reliably controls the AC.
