Add Support for Fujitsu wireless Air Conditioning control app - FGLair

ThaDuhFeez · May 20, 2021, 3:08pm

That was totally it. After that I got an error because I tried adding a NAME field to the integration in the CONFIGURATION.YAML file. Once I got rid of that, a quick reboot and the integration was recognized!

Hi Phil,

Wondering if you have given more thoughts to extending this PR, I’m sure there are others among this community that would be happy to test any code revisions and help where possible

My units support ambient and 0.5deg target temp. On my side I’ve modified the climate.py to display ambient and have set 0.5deg target temp however I realise this isn’t supportable by every unit therefore much more development would be needed.

cheers Simon

Hi All,

Thanks for this fantastic component - its been working on my Split system for a number of weeks - and today I added the following code into ‘climate.py’ to get the room temperature:

    @property
    def current_temperature(self):
    	cur_temp = self._fujitsu_device._get_prop_from_json('display_temperature', self._fujitsu_device._properties)
    	return round((cur_temp['value'] / 100 - 32) * 5/9, 1)

This worked perfectly, as when I rebooted home assistant I can see the room temperature showing on my thermostat card…

However, this temperature hasn’t been updated since I started Home Assistant - is there any way to get the temperature to update at a certain interval, as I can currently only get it to update if I turn the air con either on or off?

Thanks
Leacho

Just as an FYI, API is a bit wonky with special chars in password. Login works fine on app and website, but fails via api post.

Hello,

i loved this integration, but it stopped working. This seems to be the problem:

does somebody know how to solve it?

vandenbogerd · June 20, 2021, 9:05am

Same thing here… After some hours, the plugin doesn’t want to start the AC anymore, and I have to use FGLair instead…

clemshirestock · June 22, 2021, 3:47pm

sorry for the noob question but is there a trick to actually see the integration once ive followed all of this thread and ensured all the files are in the correct place and up to date?

Ive added a version number in the manifest too and that error is now no longer present in the logs. Just a 'integration hasnt been tested ’ warning and my config yaml is preventing me from restarting the server due to ‘no fujitsu_general_heatpump integration found’ so i comment the credentials out temporarily so that I can restart the server.

Im running on VirtualBox Ubuntu and its pretty fresh so im not sure if i need any other pre requisites to actually find and install the integration.

rebelelephant · June 26, 2021, 4:10am

Finally had some time to update to 2021.6, and of course this integration no longer worked.
Looking at everyone else’s comments, I realised that a version tag was needed in the manifest.json file.

Added a version, but still ‘no fujitsu_general_heatpump integration found’. After a bit of searching in the forums, discovered that the “domain” key in the manifest.json needs to be the same as the folder name in the custom components folder.

After doing this, it went back to working perfectly again.

Here is my manifest,json file in case it may help anyone:

{
  "domain": "fujitsu_general_heatpump",
  "name": "fujitsu_general_heatpump",
  "documentation": "https://github.com/Mmodarre/pyfujitsu_for_homeassistant/blob/95e3ba879214aa9abf70979185ae189776ba4846/README.md",
  "dependencies": [],
  "codeowners": ["@Mmodarre"],
  "requirements": ["pyfujitsu==0.9.0"],
  "homeassistant": "0.96.0",
  "version": "0.0.0"
}

Cheers

thanks!! that works

scherobert · July 14, 2021, 6:39pm

Hi! I also have this issue! After couple of days, i cannot stop and start my AC, only with FGLair. Did anyone find a solution for this? Thank you for your help!

scherobert · July 18, 2021, 9:50am

Update: at my side only cool is not working, i can turn it off, set to fan_only heat, but cool setup is not working after a couple of hours, days! :S Do you have any hint?
Thanks! Have a nice day!

cchauvin · July 28, 2021, 8:56pm

I’m having the same issue. All features work except setting the mode to “Cool”. I can put the AC into any other mode, power on/off, and change temp no problem…but as soon as I select cool nothing happens and I have to use the fglair app

Zlatanmiliano · July 29, 2021, 9:03pm

Running HA Core on a Docker (Synology).
Wanted to run HA OS so installed it, but I can’t get my airconditioning to work on HA OS. I simply copied everything but I keep getting the same error, “component not found”. Guess i’ll keep my HA Core for a while.

DeltaNu1142 · August 24, 2021, 3:31pm

I saw @Mmodarre’s original thread, but then found this one and have been muddling through. I’m in the US, running HA on a Synology VM. I’ve attempted to follow the comments above. I’m getting the following error when checking config:

Platform error climate.fujitsu_general_heatpump - cannot import name 'ATTR_AWAY_MODE' from 'homeassistant.components.climate.const' (/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/climate/const.py)

I’ve done this:

…and this:

(_pycache_ was automatically created)

…and my configuration.yaml has this:

climate:
  - platform: fujitsu_general_heatpump
    username: !secret fglair_username
    password: !secret fglair_password
    region: 'us'
    tokenpath: '/config/token.txt'

I’m also using @rebelelephant’s manifest.json file from comment # 208 and @leacho73’s code from comment # 203 in my climate.py file to get current temperature.
I don’t see this error anywhere above. Any ideas?

EDIT: It’s working… mostly.

cvhoutvi · August 25, 2021, 7:28pm

Hi, I am Chris and got my Fujitsu ACs recognized in Home Assistant today.
The strange thing is, that I can view the status of the AC’s, but I can not send commands to them. Also the FGLair APP on my Android phone has the same problem. When sending commands (e.g. Heat or FAN or change temperature) I get a network error on the smartphone. On HA I do not receive errors

But when I send commands to the AC with the IR remote control, I see the changes appear in the FGLair App and a few seconds later also in the Home Assistant dashboard.

Does anyone has this behavior to? Any suggestions?

cvhoutvi · September 7, 2021, 7:48pm

Problem disappears after a few days. I did not change anything. I suppose there was a problem at fglair server side.

DeltaNu1142 · September 8, 2021, 6:18pm

I’ve just installed this successfully for the first time… but I have the same issue as described above.

aryankids · October 3, 2021, 5:49pm

@philwilldo thanks for this cool add-on. Worked flawlessly the first time.
Minor change required though in the instruction:
The correct installation would be

A) Download and install the files
B) Restart HASS This is missing in your instructions The restart forces the HASS to recognise the new component although the configuration is missing.
C) Configuration.yaml changes
D) Restart Hass

If users follow the instructions given, HASS won’t let the server to restart due to the configuration error !!
Hope this helps

TJKeeran · October 25, 2021, 12:10am

Hey there, I just recently got this to work with my Home Assistant install on Debian 11. I’m having an issue where I can only adjust the temperature in celsius, and only a few temperatures in Fahrenheit. 68F & 69F work, 77F sets it to 78F in the FGLair app, 78F sets it to 79F, and 86F sets it to 88F.

Does anyone else have this issue or know of a solution?

Thank you!

Ruben_Decloedt · October 31, 2021, 8:08am

Hi there. Want to use this to make automations for my home. Following functions do not respond (in automations and UI) climate turn on and mode heat. Anyone else who has this problems?
