Out of interest, has anyone had any problems with this recently?
It’s been working flawlessly for me, and then just recently things have stopped working - specifically, with turning on the ‘heat’ function. (I have a ducted Fujitsu split AC that can do both heat and cooling). The weird thing is that I can put it on cool, or dry, and can change the temperature and fan speed, but if I try and put it on heat, it doesn’t work?!
It seemed to be when I upgraded to 0.111, but I don’t know if that is what caused it? Or if it was the update to their app or at their server?
Just got my AC units installed, works perfectly with this integration, thanks to all contributors.
For those looking to get the current_temperature:
display_temperature does indeed look like the current temperature in Fahrenheit.
To get it mapped, I modified only climate.py as you can get all properties, including display_temperature from the SplitAC object:
Hi all, I have tried to get this working multiple times but fail miserably. Before Success!
The raspberry pi 4, 2GB is currently running homeassistant 111.4 on HassOS 4.10 (32bit)
I have followed the instructions from Ole Andor Hansen on the 1/12/19.
These instructions have a small error! The folder should
I used samba to create the folders and copy the files from a windows 10 machine.
I don’t know if my issue is because of this and the permissions are not correct.(?)
If i add the following to the configuration.yaml and reboot then all my other (previously working) climate entities stop working, and the fujitsu doesn’t work either.
If i comment those rungs out of the configuration.yaml then the other climates work and check configuration takes about 1-2 seconds to run.
If i uncomment this and “check configuration” then the check configuration hangs.
Summary of my questions:
Was using samba incorrect cos it may have messed with permissions?
How do I fix this - or how else do you put those files on?
Should the user name have the full email address?
If I am in Australia and in the FGLair app selected location Australia, do I use region ‘us’?
ls -l on fujitsu_general_heatpump shows all 3 files with -rwxr–r-- permissions
ls -l on pyfujitsu shows all 3 files with - rwxr–r-- permissions
Please let me know if you need me to post any logs or anything.
[Other climate devices that are working include ESPhome connected Mitsubishi ACs and Daikin ACs.]
Edit:
Success!
To answer my own questions.
Permissions were fine.
Yes, User name is the full email address
Yes, even if your region is Australia in the app - use region ‘us’ in the configuration.yaml
What I changed to get it to work:
Right click save link as in git hub doesnt save the file. I am a github noob and couldn’t see how to download the files so i ended up creating the files and copy and pasting the code into them.
I think there is an error in Ole Andor Hansens post on the 1/12/19 which is causing the errors some of the others are getting. The path should be \config\deps\lib\python3.7\site-packages\pyfujitseu (pyfujits’E’u)
Been testing a few days with the additions I posted below, and I can confirm the display_temperature is in Fahrenheit. The temperature closely matches the reading of a temperature sensor of a PIR in the same room.
Apparently there is a C/F setting the technician can set on the unit itself (if the model has a display) so it would make sense the API sends back the same value globally as the unit will convert it depending on the setting.
I did some updates to my code to be conform with ClimateEntity (instead the now deprecated ClimateDevice).
Additionally, I tried to step forward to a more „one click installation“. Therefore, I related my python package pyfujitseu.
Unfortunately, the package does not install during Home Assistant requirement resolution. I could not fix this issue right now, maybe somebody can help.
For now, you can install the package by just running
pip install pyfujitseu
Using docker you can use the following Dockerfile (make sure to adapt Home Assistant image to your needs, I’m using RPi4.)
FROM homeassistant/raspberrypi4-homeassistant:stable
RUN pip install --upgrade pip && pip install pyfujitseu
Please share your experiences and let me know if the new solution works for you!
Fixed it. For some reason that I can’t quite figure out, there is a comparison in the plugin that won’t change to ‘heat’ if it thinks it is already on ‘heat’…and for some reason, it always thinks it is on ‘heat’?! So I removed that comparison, and now it works.
Any idea when the vent (louvers) positioning is going to be supported by Hassio? I’m using the code from this plugin in a simple AppDaemon that listens to events, enabling me to send the positioning to my AC, but, having it directly supported by Hassio would be awesome!
I was able to install pyfujitseu into the docker image, but it is worth noting that when I upgraded Home Assistant I had to then reinstall pyfujitseu again.
Yeah, this is really annoying.
The only workaround I found is creating the mentioned Dockerfile so that no further manual steps are needed during updates.

@philwilldo do you think you could incorporate the ambient into your code - I tested what @tomdb_BE suggested it works perfectly and now I have a lovely ambient temperature shown.
Hi @qwackers,
This works only for ACs which support this property. Since mine does not, I can’t accept pull requests which do not make a case distinction.
Copy that @philwilldo - wondering if there is a way to extract the model from the API? Thanks for answering I have a couple of mods in my code 0.5deg temperature and ambient which I can manage - that’s my limit of coding skills
@tomdb_BE Thanks! Good idea to submit the pull request to @philwilldo (xerxes87)'s repo. @philwilldo, would you be willing to accept pull requests and keep pyfujitsu and pyfujitsu_for_homeassistant going?
