Hello.
I am planning to integrate Bosch 5000i air conditioning units with Home Assistant. The units are controlled via HomeCom Easy app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bosch.tt.dashtt). Is there any integration with HA?

Yap, this would be interesting.
There is not only mobile app but also online version.
Most likely both are based on same cloud infrastructure.
I’ve tried contacting Bosch for possible integrations with HA/Google Home, but they didn’t answered. 
Hello Everyone,
I was looking for this same integration, but I did not find anything useful.
I did not understand from the previous answer if it is available or other add/on can be used to manage Bosch Climate 5000i/3000i.
Thanks in advance for any indication/suggestion
Would like to know this as well! Have been searching a lot how to integrate my Bosch Compress 8101i in Home Assistant. It is also controlled by the app “HomeCom”, and has bulit in WiFi.
Only found this: Bosch Thermostat
Almost a year passed. HomeCom App (6000i) is still very limited and bad in general, still no integration for HA right?

I need this. Ist there anything now?
I bought a bosch air conditioner and I realize that HomeCom app stuff and no home connect… I also ask to bosch but no answer yet
And warning to the next buyer, I also realized that the module used for the integration Wifi CL01 doesn’t work with Wifi ax (mesh)
Any progress with this? I will start investigating by my own
How I managed to have some control through HA:
Bosch AC units are currently produced by Midea in China, Bosch wifi modules says they are produced in Germany, which is wierd because this kind of software/hardware (EasyControl, BMW Bosch etc) is usually produced in portugal due close relationship with some of the best universities in this matter) but they’re so poorly designed that it almost doesn’t fit in its space, not german quality at all.
My guess is that wifi modules are also rebrands of midea so I got myself a infrared smart controller, with tuya app I quick configured as midea, created some scenes to sync with HA and I can now turn on/off, set mode and clone some IR features from the original controller.

Is there someone working on an integration or have created any ? I’ve got 3 units with this app and I’m planning on creating a custom integration by reverse engineering their internal API or other alternative. There will always have to be through cloud I guess, I don’t think their wifi controllers have any local accessibility.
If someone is working on it or is willing to work on it let me know

I need this as well for 6100i
I too would like to integrate the three splitters of the 5000i air conditioner, to be able to manage them when there are power overloads. Is there any hope of integration? BOSCH is deaf to requests…
I’m need this integration also.
Is anyone working on this?

Do you use the Tuya Integration or LocalTuya from HACS?
Hi. I’m the author of https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ventui.ventui
I know how it is possible to integrate with this air unit via Ethernet in the local network

I also have the 3000i series, but the wifi dongle seems to be compatible with both 3000 and 5000 series
For those of you who are struggling with the integration and looking for a solution here is the solution or at least what I’ve done and it’s working perfectly, you can buy this or you can build it by yourselves using an ESP32 and adding a USB-A male, using this schematic
| Connection | USB A | ESP32 |
|---|---|---|
| - | Black | GND |
| TX | White | TX |
| RX | Green | RX |
| + | Red | VCC/5v |
Next step would be upload the ESPHOME code:

Once you have everything setup you should be able to plug it to the HVAC Bosch i5000 or i3000 ,and then connect to your home assistant instance to control it via ESPhome integration.
Hope this solves for you

Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing this! I ordered one Wifi stick for testing purpose. If I manage to get it running, I will use your solution for my other i3000 units.
Used esp8266 to try this out, but unfortunally seems that my BOSCH CLIMATE 3000i W 53E is not supported. Response requests just timeouts.
update
Got it working by switching TX - RX.
Thanks a million for this!

That sounds awesome. Does this work with the 6000i too?
