Not regular, just intermittent. I’ll have some time in a couple of weeks to try different wi-fi settings, thanks for the suggestion.
@tomwaldnz, how does your AirTouch 5 tablet behave if you reboot your router? Mine fails to reconnect to the wi-fi network for some reason, so my workaround is a scheduled nightly reboot of the tablet.
I had internet problems a few weeks ago and reset the router, it reconnected ok. I’ll try to remember to test this tonight when no-one is using the internet, but if I forget please feel free to drop me a message - I’ll reply after I’ve had a chance to test - which may take an hour or a week over the holiday period.
Having more success now. Have locked the AT5 tablet onto a 2.4GHz network and it seems to be stable. I previously had the same network name on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks - lots of devices seem fine to swap between them when necessary - but the AT5 tablet did not.
And I set it to a static IP address.
An odd thing is that the tablet won’t connect to wifi if I change the MAC from randomised (default) to built-in.
Time will tell I suppose.
PS This tablet is different from the AT4 in that it frequently does DNS lookups for Google-related names. In particular google.cn which is a bit odd.
I restarted my router today after a firmware update, everything seemed to reconnect with no issues. I rarely use the tablet any more, it’s just a WiFi interface, I use my own Home Assistant dashboard and this plugin.
Hi all, can anyone help with an issue I’m having with the integration, in both Home Assistant and also the Apple Home app. Regardless of the mode the AC is actually in, it’s showing as “cooling to” the set temperature rather than heating it the main AC is set to do so. As I live in NZ, you can imagine this will confuse my flatmates endlessly for most months of the year.
I can’t much help with Apple, but I can probably help with HA. Can you post a screenshot from HA? I think that one is from Apple. “Heating and Cooling” looks to be an auto mode, if you set it to heat what does it say?
If you want a semi decent dashboard for Airtouch 4 you can use the one below. I found it somewhere and tweaked it very slightly. It’s handy as by tapping the bottom control you can switch between ITC and Damper mode.

Hey Tom, thanks for the reply. Here is a screenshot of the main AC running in heat mode but the ducts coloured in cool mode.
@jakebrocard Do you have temperature sensors in each room? Just curious because it says heat for the main AC but the other rooms are in “fan only” mode. That could explain why it’s not working quite right, I think the integration assumes ITC mode. If you have ITC in each room then not sure.
Suggest you look in developer tools to see the state of the AC and each room, and post anything interesting. Developer tools is the key to figuring out a lot of things in HA.
You have a couple of pretty classic kiwi names there 
Plus probably the only air conditioned house for flatting in the country 
I’m in Wellington.
Hi Tom, yep each room has a switch (heat/cool) and temp sensor. I think we’re starting to get somewhere when I did check out the developer tools. I can see the extra modes in the code and the state is different, set to ‘heat’.
I tried adding extra modes to the hallway and changing the state and it actually works…until I try to change a setting and then it reverts back!
In developer tools you typically want to be using the filter to search for current state rather than the state box to set current state. It’s not the best UI - look for the red text I put on my screenshot below.
Also, you can paste diagrams directly into this forum as well, easier for everyone to see that way.

I’ve had a weird experience where one of my zones was pumping out COLD air in spite of being switched off through the wall controller. Wanting to track this to recreate, and I was hoping to view the damper position in history, however that doesn’t seem to be available as an entity to view in history - anybody know if there’s a way to track the open % in history to try and track stuff like that down?
Have you looked in the history? The state of my dampers is tracked. If it’s not there, have you disabled tracking the damper state / history somehow?
That’s got the on/off state, but I was hoping to get the open percentage and not just on / off if possible
There’s an entity fan.damper_roomname which has the attribute percentage which tells you how open the damper is. Your entity may be named differently as I tend to rename mine.

I also would like to see this – how do you get that graph?
I use Apex Charts (github link, discussion link) to graph the information in the history.

Thanks - that’s perfect!
Re the frequent errors about disconnections, I found today that if I make the AT tablet not go to sleep - just let the screensaver kick in and the screen dim - it doesn’t seem to disconnect from a Home Assistant perspective. Even when it went to sleep before the tablet continued responding to pings but I guess not all services were active from HA’s perspective.
