When adding the Gree Climante integration to Home Assistant, the integration automatically scans the local subnet where the Home Assistant server is installed for compatible devices. If no devices are found in the local subnet, the installation of the integration fails.
There needs to be a way to manually add a device in case the device to be added is in a different subnet than the subnet the Home Assistant server is installed.
Oh I know what’s going on. The extra features like 8 degree heat, power saving mode, air scavenging, etc are not in the main AC card, they’re just extra entities that have to be added manually to the card. For example, here’s what the card I created for the dashboard looks like:
I think you might have to manually create those entities for the Gree addon to be able to populate them. In configuration.yaml, I have the following section just after the “default_config:” line:
I never realize that it needs to create the entities to populate them…
Really thank you for time and everything around.
PS: just one question - do you deny access from internet to the AC and control it only through HA locally? When I do this I have often long time response (like 20sec) from sending command, and not sure if it is by some mishmash in network or it is normal?
…and no, I do not block internet access via the Gree app. That’s something I may try eventually but I’m fairly new to HA and prefer to have a backup method to control my devices, just in case.
Hi. I fight for Gree integration. Could you help me? My problem the Encryption key. I dont have. Plus 7002 port working in homebridge. Now i learn the homeasistant. Just the air condition left.
Hi, I’m also having issues getting the encryption key. I need it because the general decryption with the reverse engineered api does not work for me. I already tried the steps from RobHofmann but the gree.db on my android phone seems to be encrypted/unreadable? I tried several SQLite readers and none can read the db. I also tried a SSL capture but that was also encrypted…
Any idea how i can find the encryption key.
Thanks in advance.
