Nope unfortunately no news. Let me know if you find something out
I was able to find out a few things because I have the module myself, but unfortunately, it seems to use a completely different protocol. However, implementing it still seems feasible. For an initial test, the pinout and initialization.
Climate pinout :
GND RX TX VCC NC NC NC NC
Parameter:
9600 Baud 8E1
INIT:
Modul: 02FFFF0000000002

Klima: 02FFFF8101000080
Modul: 0305B0001000003B # WIFI LED & Connected
Klima: 06 # ACK
TEST FAN Mode :

Hi! Looks like that dongle USB connector is tied directly to the D+,D- pins of ESP(which is the normal). For the AC control you need that the USB to be connected to UART TX/RX pins of ESP.
You can try with one of the modules already posted or you mod your existing dongle.
Yeah my Bosch Climate 6000i also didn’t seem to work with the midi protocol 
I powered it successfully via GND & VCC and then tried all kinds of combinations for the RX & TX pins but never received any data.
Hi there,
does anyone know if the module above is compatible with Iobroker as well? Like this adapter? I am not running HA unfortunately but need a proper integration into my ecosystem.

@h4b3ck I decompiled the HomeCom Easy apk and found some info. I suspect that our models don’t use the midea but the sharp protocol.
It’s also displayed on the inner circuit
What’s the voltage for the data pins of the AC? Aren’t they 5V ? Aren’t you supposed to use a logic level shifter?
So this thing is anything but Bosch?:))
I’ve ordered five of these, coming tomorrow, so just wanted to clarify the steps I need to take…
- Plug into the Air Conditioning unit (3000i)
- Once plugged in, there should be a hot spot
- Connect to the hot spot and presumably it’ll open up a UI to input my WiFi
- Add to Home Assistant (should be discovered automatically)
That’s it, right?
I have a first working version, if you tell me your GitHub username, I can invite you to test it. The version is not yet ready for public release.
oh wow that’s awesome! My github username is nico1510
Hi there,
I’m a newby to ESP32.
It is good if I buy ESP32-S2 (some like this … that has USB-C on-board ) and use a usb-C to usb-A converter ?
i tried this, but it seems to not be working for my bosch 3000i unfortunately
Hi all,
I’ve been looking for a solution to control my Bosch 6000I air conditioning via Home Assistant for a while. I tried using several ESP32 devices with my air conditioner, but unfortunately, I haven’t been able to establish communication with it. I keep getting timeouts despite the numerous tests I’ve conducted.
Given this post, it seems there are several types of 6000I air conditioners. Here is what mine looks like:
It is currently connected to Wi-Fi using a Bosch G10 CL-1 dongle
Has anyone managed to connect this type of air conditioner to an ESP32?
Thank you for your help and patience.

I got my 5000i and 3000i units working like this: How to connect Bosch HomeCom Easy air conditioning units to Home Assistant and Homekit?
Using these controllers: Air conditioner Wi-Fi module for Midea, Idea, Neoclima, Electrolux, Beko and many more. Model SMARTLIGHT SLWF-01pro (v.1.0)
Hope that helps.

For everyone who has a Sharp protocol-based air conditioner.
The software is in an early version. Please create an issue with the log and device type if you use it successfully with devices that are not declared as tested, or if any problems occur.

Have you found a solution?
Can somebody help me, please? I have tried on Bosch Climate 5000i with both ESP32 and ESP8266 boards and i get the same TX error. Both boards are 3.3V. Do i need a level shifter since AC use 5V?
Datasheet: NodeMCU v3 high resolution pinout and specs – Renzo Mischianti
Try to double check the TX and RX pins, if both match with the config, then try to reverse them
I have tried this already multiple times in the last 3 days. I have also tried with a CP2102 USB to UART Converter Module. Same error!
