Any Support for Midea A/C?

Feature Requests
82

Stopped working for me after update to 0.91.4 Some python stuff missing. Do we need to change the cusmtom_components/climate/midea.py to something else? Read something about that in the breaking changes.

83

There are indeed changes required, I’ve started to investigate, but really lack time for this, lets hope someone is willing to continue the development of this addon, I’ve switched to smartir addon for now :frowning:

Hello.
I did the following:
Within custom_components I created the “midea” directory, renamed midea.py for climate.py, and added the empty __init__.py file.

Working now.

Hi!
Please, would someone write detailed manual how to set up this custom component - where to copy what, what to add and what should be in configuration.yaml. Thanks!

Anyone working on fixing this custom component sine breaking changes on custom components? It would be awesome…

92

It was unfortunately never reliable for me even before the custom_components change, so I didn’t put any effort into moving it over.

93

@Igor_Jurisic could you please share your Midea codes for SmartIR, since we have the same AC and I just got RM3 mini today. Please if you can, when you have time. Thank you very much!

94

Here you go…

I’ve removed all the modes except cooling/heating (I only use those 2)…
I also kept just 3 basic fan speeds for simplicity.

For those that have had success, have you any interest in bringing this success to HACS (Home Assistant Community Store) (https://custom-components.github.io/hacs/#hacs-home-assistant-community-store)?

Hi!
I have a strange problem with Midea component. Every 60 seconds my AC is turned on in Fan only mode. If it is off, then it turned on in Fan only mode and if it is in some other mode other than Fan only then mode is switched to Fan only mode. This problem is present only if Midea component is active.
Does anybody know hot ot remedy this strange behavior?

Anyone use this with a Toshiba RAC-WK0811ESCWC or RAC-WK0811ESCWU ?

The Toshiba App publisher is GD Midea Air-Conditioning Equipment Co., Ltd. See this link https://apps.apple.com/us/app/toshiba-ac-na/id1278816909

Can someone please outline a step by step process for getting this working? I know some of you have it working and the rest of us would really appreciate the steps you took. Thanks

101

Do we have any news? Does someone work?

I’ve been studying the code from this repo:

I’ll try to adapt it to a working version for new HA version in a few days. I tried the python test script from Unix cli and it was able to login and control my 2 air conditioner devices (which are Spanish brand, but are using NetHome Plus app also). So probably we just need to do some adjustments regarding HA climate module architectural changes and a few thinks more.
