Add integration for Hisense devices using ConnectLife

Blascox92 · February 28, 2024, 6:47pm

can you please recap the instructions used

timewolf · February 29, 2024, 8:11am

this is a recap.
create a directory for the addon
download the zip from git
unzip it
execute docker build . --build-arg=‘BUILD_FROM=alpine:3.19’ -t ha-connectlife-addon
create compose.yml like this one

^{version: ‘3.8’}

services:
ha-connectlife-addon:
image: ha-connectlife-addon
environment:
- CONNECTLIFE_LOGIN=YOUR CONNECTLIFE EMAIL
- CONNECTLIFE_PASSWORD=YOUR CONNECTLIFE PWD
- LOG_LEVEL=info
- MQTT_HOST=YOUR MQTT IP (dont use 127.0.0.1, it fail to me)
- MQTT_USER=YOUR MQTT USER
- MQTT_PASSWORD=YOUR MQTT PWD
- MQTT_PORT=1883
- MQTT_SSL=false
command: /bin/ash -c ‘php artisan app:mqtt-loop’

now launch with docker compose up -d

now you should have all a/c in HA under mqtt

What’s wrong with these instructions?

Install in Home Assistant with Supervisor

Make sure your Connectlife appliances are online.

In Supervisor, navidate to the Add-on Store.

From the overflow menu, select “Repositories”.

Add https://github.com/bilan/home-assistant-addons/.

Wait for Add-on to appear or click “Reload” in the same overflow menu.

Install / build thhe add-on.

Turn on the add-on watchdog - Connectlife API is not stable and sometimes times out.

In the Configuration section, fill in the necessary fields. If you leave the fields blank, the add-on will attempt to fetch MQTT credentials from the Supervisor API.

Hello,
I followed the instructions and did have the MQTT integration appear but nothing was discovered:

I can confirm that the API add-on is receiving information from Connectlife with the A/C information.

Hi

I used the instructions in the formal help…

Install in Home Assistant with Supervisor

Make sure your Connectlife appliances are online.

In Supervisor, navidate to the Add-on Store.

From the overflow menu, select “Repositories”.

Add https://github.com/bilan/home-assistant-addons/.

Wait for Add-on to appear or click “Reload” in the same overflow menu.

Install / build thhe add-on.

Turn on the add-on watchdog - Connectlife API is not stable and sometimes times out.

In the Configuration section, fill in the necessary fields. If you leave the fields blank, the add-on will attempt to fetch MQTT credentials from the Supervisor API.

The only thing I would add is that, in my case, leaving field blank did not work, and I had to fill username and password (as I expected) manually. Also you need MQTT installed… But it was very “easy” if you have a little HomeAssistant experience.

Good luck!
Raul

I had left this effort alone for a few days.
Now today, all of a sudden, the MQTT integration discovered the portable A/C.
Very odd!
Working great, thank you for the addon!

monaco · March 4, 2024, 2:37pm

Under MQTT there were still no ConnectLife devices discovered. I tried also manually adding MQTT ip, username and password. My MQTT server is working, already are there 88 devices.

In log I can see many reports like this but I believe this is because I have different type of AC (feature code 109) and a few other products in my ConnectLife account

Should this work for tumble dryer too?

bilan · March 10, 2024, 9:10am

This error should be fixed in v2.1.3 released today.

bilan · March 10, 2024, 9:13am

Every Connectlife App device should have been accessible through the add-on API (default port 8000), but you had to discover by yourself what properties the device has and how to change them.

Simone77 · March 11, 2024, 12:07pm

Thank you so much for this addon !!! Finally I can manage my AC from Home Assistant!

monaco · March 12, 2024, 7:25am

It works now for AC!

monaco · March 12, 2024, 10:16am

How can you add to configuration also other device types? I would like to add my oven.

deb0ro · March 26, 2024, 6:50am

Hi guys, just to let you know that after an plugin update, my refrigerator RF793N4SAFE show up!

These are all the information it sends! Now, to put it to some use

Great work!

Kazzaw · April 6, 2024, 1:54am

I would love to see this too - The addon can see my washing machine, gives me a bunch of outputs but I can’t get this across into HA - If I had the knowledge I would love to assist to add it but I know nothing about how it works

maddogspeighty · April 8, 2024, 12:09pm

I have a Hisense washing also and would love to see this working.

tomiis · April 8, 2024, 7:44pm

This is great! Just bought Hisense AC, and found this. Thank you!

sruluk · April 9, 2024, 1:00pm

Did you manage to get it to work? what do you use for the wifi module?

monaco · April 10, 2024, 6:41am

Is anyone willing to integrate also other devices? We can see them in the log, but I have no idea how to get them to the frontend. I can help with testing, maybe share account and maybe we can even help with some reimbursement for working solution

Sapanica · April 24, 2024, 12:50pm

Hi,

I’ve installed the addon and it seems to be connected.

But how do i put this in a dashboard? The mttq broker doesnt see any new entities.

Please advise how to put this in a entitie for a dashboard
