+ * SOURCE
+ ***********************************************************************************
+ * The IR codes and the functional description below were taken from
+ * 'arduino-heatpumpir/ZHLT01HeatpumpIR.h' as can be found on GitHub
+ * https://github.com/ToniA/arduino-heatpumpir/blob/master/ZHLT01HeatpumpIR.h
+ *
+ ************************************************************************************
+ *  Airconditional remote control encoder for:
+ *
+ *  ZH/LT-01 Remote control https://www.google.com/search?q=zh/lt-01
+ *
+ *  The ZH/LT-01 remote control is used for many locally branded Split
+ *  airconditioners, so it is better to name this protocol by the name of the
+ *  REMOTE rather then the name of the Airconditioner. For this project I used
+ *  a 2014 model Eurom-airconditioner, which is Dutch-branded and sold in
+ *  the Netherlands at Hornbach.
+ *
+ * For airco-brands:
+ *  Eurom
+ *  Chigo
+ *  Tristar
+ *  Tecnomaster
+ *  Elgin
+ *  Geant
+ *  Tekno
+ *  Topair
+ *  Proma
+ *  Sumikura
+ *  JBS
+ *  Turbo Air
+ *  Nakatomy
+ *  Celestial Air
+ *  Ager
+ *  Blueway
+ *  Airlux
+ *  Etc.
+ *
+ ***********************************************************************************
+ *  SUMMARY FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
+ ***********************************************************************************
+ *  The remote sends a 12 Byte message which contains all possible settings every
+ *  time.
+ *
+ *  Byte 11 (and 10) contain the remote control identifier and are always 0xD5 and
+ *  0x2A respectively for the ZH/LT-01 remote control.
+ *  Every UNeven Byte (01,03,05,07 and 09) holds command data
+ *  Every EVEN Byte (00,02,04,06,08 and 10) holds a checksum of the corresponding
+ *  command-, or identifier-byte by _inverting_ the bits, for example:
+ *
+ *  The identifier byte[11] = 0xD5 = B1101 0101
+ *  The checksum byte[10]   = 0x2A = B0010 1010
+ *
+ *  So, you can check the message by:
+ *  - inverting the bits of the checksum byte with the corresponding command-, or
+ *    identifier byte, they should be the same, or
+ *  - Summing up the checksum byte and the corresponding command-, or identifier byte,
+ *    they should always add up to 0xFF = B11111111 = 255
+ *
+ *  Control bytes:
+ *  [01] - Timer (1-24 hours, Off)
+ *         Time is hardcoded to OFF
+ *
+ *  [03] - LAMP ON/OFF, TURBO ON/OFF, HOLD ON/OFF
+ *         Lamp and Hold are hardcoded to OFF
+ *         Turbo is used for the BOOST preset
+ *
+ *  [05] - Indicates which button the user _pressed_ on the remote control
+ *         Hardcoded to POWER-button
+ *
+ *  [07] - POWER ON/OFF, FAN AUTO/3/2/1, SLEEP ON/OFF, AIRFLOW ON/OFF,
+ *         VERTICAL SWING/WIND/FIXED
+ *         SLEEP is used for preset SLEEP
+ *         Vertical Swing supports Fixed, Swing and "Wind". The Wind option
+ *         is ignored in this implementation
+ *
+ *  [09] - MODE AUTO/COOL/VENT/DRY/HEAT, TEMPERATURE (16 - 32°C)
