AC Infinity Bluetooth 69 PRO controllers SUCCESSFUL

[MRobi (Mike)]

A big thank you to @hunterjm for putting this into an integration as well as all who have come before to figure out the data for this.

I’m now pulling in the sensor data from the controller onto my dashboard with the past 1h displayed and clickable header info that pops up the past 24h.

I’m getting similar issues @Kathou99 , and it basically loses the plot with the first and only works with the second. I’ve submitted this on Github rather than here though.

I also have a feeling it’s expecting certain temperature readings and is doing calculations expecting F vs C etc hence why some people see them doing -300C

[Sanpyonator]

Hi! What are your thoughts about the m5stack sensors? Are they reliable?

[Sanpyonator]

Any way I could control the AC infinity fans directly without the pro controllers?

[MRobi (Mike)]

Some of the fans can be controlled through a PWM controller and ESPHome

[loganbest]

Hi there @Chilling_Silence and @Kathou99, I’ve created this PR on the repo which seems to fix my issues and also explained why the Controller 69 Pro fails discovery when wifi is on. I only have a single controller though and just a fan connected, so it would be helpful if you could test this on your own instance and see if it’s working.

[Chilling_Silence]

Thanks @loganbest I’ve grabbed that now and given it a try but I’m still getting:

That’s using this commit: logging and discovery fix by loganbest · Pull Request #4 · hunterjm/ac-infinity-hacs · GitHub

But I didn’t do anything with PR#2 from there if that matters?
The first fan which I was trying to adjust simply doesn’t show the attempts, as the second unit does.

[loganbest]

That’s ok, #2 is just an issue report. No code there.

So just to be clear, you’ve got 2 controller 69’s? What do you have attached to them? Have you tried deleting the entities entirely and restarting HASS then re-adding with the changes?

Just trying to gather more info since I only have a single controller so there’s only so much I can actually test

[Chilling_Silence]

Two controllers each with a single fan connected to them.
Do I need to delete then re-add them in order for this to take effect?

[loganbest]

I’m honestly unsure since I can’t test what the state of everything looks like since I have a single controller. That’s why I’m suggesting to remove both of them entirely from HA and reboot HA (not config reload) then see what autodiscovery finds and if there’s any new logging or errors

[jquast (Jeff Quast)]

I released a python cli based on code in this forum by mikeybatoz (thanks!). It’s very slow but robust for me, I am able to read and set fan levels of 3 AC Infinity 69 PRO controllers in series for several weeks. I don’t know anything about home assistant, but the “get” action outputs json to stdout so this might be helpful, GitHub - jquast/acinf

[Chilling_Silence]

Tried with latest beta. Removed the units. Restarted HA.

They were detected but same issue.

Any further things I could / should try?
Can tee up SSH access if it’s helpful to debug?

Edit: on mobile so images are in reverse chronological order sorry

[howarc2 (Charles Howard)]

I have HACS integration installed and it detected my AC Infinity 69 PRO successfully. It is being used to control a bath exhaust fan. HA reads values from the controller effortlessly, but controlling the device does not work. When the command it sent, it seems to error out and revert to the previous known state.

[amazingfunksta]

I just tried to install the AC Infinity HACS integration and I continue to get the error:

I’m currently using a raspberry Pi 4 with home assistant OS / supervisor

Edit: nevermind… home assistant saw the device via Bluetooth and I was able to add it. Able to turn fan on and off no problem. Hopefully fan speed adjustment will come soon

[amazingfunksta]

I also have a controller 69 pro and my fan turns on and off… but it’s very sluggish to respond. It takes about a half a minute to respond and it flakes between on and off a couple of times before it changes to the appropriate state.

[Chilling_Silence]

Looks like 2023.9 isn’t happy with it @loganbest . Since updating I get:

Setup failed for custom integration ac_infinity: Requirements for ac_infinity not found: ['ac-infinity-ble==0.4.2'].

[mikeybatoz]

You just made fan turn on/off? Do the codes for each setting of pwm not work for you?

[grssll]

I’m getting the same error

[mikeybatoz]

Try manually downloading the library using ha terminal

[Chilling_Silence]

Any chance of a bit of an explanation on how, please?
