Anyone Integrated a Mr. Cool Ductless w/ WiFi?

Third party integrations
1

I have a Mr. Cool DIY series with Wifi capabilities. Anyone tried integrating this device with hass.io? If so let me know.

Thanks!

Was so hoping this was figured out by now. Love th units.

I just installed one in my garage. Would love to be able to control it from HA.

I just installed 2 of their 24K BTU units in my shop. Would love to see these get integrated. Anything I can do on my end to help get this going?

As far as I understand from Mr. Cool’s technical support staff stated they have a closed API for the smart controller you can use. best I have found is you try a ir blaster but it doesn’t give you feed back so you don’t really know what the temp or mode is. Unless someone knows more than me that what I have found so far. I hope this helps someone

Has anyone tried port scanning the Mr. Cool wifi controller to see if it has anything open? Or done any testing like that? I am considering one for my shop, but would have to have this functionality working first.

I see that the wifi controller is just a USB stick. I wonder if it has all the brains on it and if it can be powered up and access tested separately from the unit itself. Trying to think of ways I can test before investing in an entire AC setup…

I just installed my 3rd Generation DIY Mini-Split 18K unit yesterday. I have been able to connect it to WiFi but apparently, it connects to their server in the cloud and my phone connects to it. I have done an intense nmap scan, scanning all TCP and UDP ports and it is closed up tight.

Well booooooo. Thanks for Checking it out!

Agreed, I was just hoping for local control of the units like there is with the Daikin setup.

@mikenabhan I have created a homebridge plug-in if this is useful (or would serve as a useful reference design):

16

I have 4 units using Cielo Thermostat
I have tried to install your add-on but on HA but no success
I tried to make a copy using Python but I am begineer . Still trying hard :see_no_evil:
Finally I managed to install homebrdige on RPI using Portainer to use your homebridge addon
I hope there is someone can help us devolpe an integration for this thermostat :cry:

17

@be_adamant Do you have any logs or code to illustrate the problem you are encountering?

18

I am totally beginner in both Python and HA
I am trying to connect to cielosmart API using websocket
I just started 2 days ago and trying to figure out how to use Python websocket
As I notice in ur code there are alot of steps
Starting with session id next cookies … auth …etc
I think Python has a diffrenet way handling these data and that what I am trying to figure out

I was looking in custom component that using websocket API to learn from it but couldnt find any

@be_adamant an alternative might be to simply expose as node-smartcielo as a web service (optionally via docker) and make HTTP calls from hass.io.

Something similar to this:

20

So in case I do that
Will it be as an entity in HA or just calling services?

21

@be_adamant I leave that exercise to you, @mikenabhan and/or others.

To help with integration with hass.io I have created a simple HTTP-server wrapper for node-smartcielo:

Usage is pretty simple:

  1. Install:
$ npm install -g node-smartcielo-http
  1. Start the server
$ node-smartcielo-http -l 6969 -u <username> -p <password> -i <ip_address>
  1. Run commands using cURL:
# Get power state
$ curl http://localhost:6969/power
{"power":"off"}

# Send power on
$ curl http://localhost:6969/power/on
{"success":true}

# Get current mode
$ curl http://localhost:6969/mode
{"mode":"auto"}

# Set mode to cool
$ curl http://localhost:6969/mode/cool
{"success":true}

# Get current room temperature
$ curl http://localhost:6969/roomTemperature
{"roomTemperature":78}

# Get current thermostat temperature
$ curl http://localhost:6969/temperature
{"temperature":"75"}

# Set thermostat temperature tp 75
$ curl http://localhost:6969/temperature/75
{"success":true}

# Get current fan speed
$ curl http://localhost:6969/fanSpeed
{"fanSpeed":"auto"}

# Set fan speed to low
$ curl http://localhost:6969/fanSpeed/low
{"success":true}

# Send power off
$ curl http://localhost:6969/power/off
{"success":true}

I really appreciate your help

And I will keep trying and learing how to make an integration :smiley: I love challenges

Waiting for you :smiley:

:smiley: Hi
I managed to install Homebridge on docker
And install smartcielo
But I am little bit confused about the public IP and accessories

  1. Publci IP do you mean my Public IP??
    Or the website IP? Or the device local IP
  2. I have 3 devices under one username in smartcielo.com
    Should I add 3 accessories or one would be enough?
