I can’t install the add-on.
I click install and it write this:
What is the problem?
Thanks.
Even though this is not starting with Broadlink or whatever but it’s the same mac from theAcFreedom app
I developed a new version of this integrationa and created a new topic for it.
Hello! How we can run in Windows with Oracle VM virtual box and Home Assistant on this machine?
Any luck guys, I just bought 4 ACs 
and got them work in AC Freedom app but not in HA.
I am using the latest version of freedom app, tried the suggestion to use version 1.3.0 with no luck. I am running the latest home assistant OS version.
Home Assistant: 2023.5.4
Supervisor: 2023.04.1
Operating System: 10.2
Frontend 20230503.3 - latest
I tried it with no luck, I also followed the Broadlink AC Integration (AC Freedom), but it does not work.
Can some one put me in the right direction?
Do you have installed the MQTT server? you need it in order to control de ACs with HA. The MQTT server will act similar as a “man in the middle” for communication.
Of course I have one inside home assistant and it is working well, I have several tasmota devices and ESPHome ones too. the issue seems to be authentication failure.
I got this from the new app called “broadlinkac2mqtt” https://github.com/ArtemVladimirov/broadlinkac2mqtt

Although I followed the steps carefully.
Hi!
I have ANDE AC which as I understand is just a rebranded AUX AC for European market. I am using AC MQTT proxy for home assistant (by Arbuzov) but am getting continuous Starting/Stopping messages in the logs:
Starting Monitor...
(200, ('192.168.8.41', 80))
Stopping
Starting Monitor...
(200, ('192.168.8.41', 80))
Stopping
My configuration:
service:
daemon_mode: true
update_interval: 10
self_discovery: false
bind_to_ip: false
mqtt:
host: addon_core_mosquitto
port: 1883
client_id: ac_to_mqtt
user: mqtt
passwd: mqtt123
topic_prefix: /aircon
auto_discovery_topic: homeassistant
auto_discovery_topic_retain: false
discovery: false
devices:
- ip: 192.168.8.41
mac: ***
name: Room
port: 80
I logged into the addon container and noticed that the monitor.py process is being killed and recreated with new PID every couple of seconds. Is it a normal behavior?
I am happy to do additional tests if someone is willing to instruct how to troubleshoot the issue further.

I have new ANDE/AUX AC. Perhaps it uses the new method. How could we see if it does?
I have a two docker installations "broadlinkac/broadlink_ac_mqtt] and [ghcr.io/artemvladimirov/broadlinkac2mqtt:latest] installed. Unfortunately they both won’t connect to the AC device (AC1 AUX AC Freedom).
I read about that you should stop (and delete the app) half way the wifi configuration process. I have tried everything. Even blocking url by using the firewall and DNS server (AdGuard).
Docker still refuses to connect to the AC unit.
Ping from docker works and finds the AC device.
With nmap i do get the following information back:
# nmap -sU -p80 192.168.1.34
Starting Nmap 7.94 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2023-06-14 13:39 CEST

PORT STATE SERVICE
80/udp open|filtered http
MAC Address: EC:0B:AE:A6:80:4B (Hangzhou BroadLink Technology)
It seems port 80 UDP is open but filtered.
My question is if you all also experience this?
Must this port be completely open before it will connect?
Wondering of people who made it work wat their results are when a doing port check with nmap?
Thanks.
device info:
"Firmware":"v52020",
"Data Cloud":"Europe",
"SDK":"2.17",
It does not seem to be the issue. Mine are in the same open|filtered and working fine with artemvaldimirov build.
It worked perfectly for me, but I need to restart the addon every time the system restarts
I’ve the same. There is absolutly no response from the AC (AUX) when I send the UDP packet at 80. When I wireshark the Freedom APP it goes outside using some Amazon server. SOme suggested to look at the device info @ Freedom APP to find the correct port but none is listed. It seems there is no local connection at all (which is the whole idea!)

The bad news is that none of the current methods work with the new Aircons. It appears that only one TCP port is active; the previous UDP methods are no longer available. Maybe someone can figure out what the communication is or what this port is used for in order to obtain some statistics.

Host is up (0.071s latency).

I am using this for 1 month and it is awsome!!
I have only 1 problem, the commands to AIRCON work great, the state of FAN, Temperature, Swing, etc., all works great apart the state of the system. When i start it is COOL mode it is OK, but after some seconds the state is changes to “OFF”. Sometimes the state last longer.
Any hint why the state is reset to OFF and how this can be fixed?
Thanks a lot!!
