Thanks! Somehow the transmit works, but the receive does not.

We are using a wemos d1 and have soldered it correctly (we think… ).
Any idea what to check?

ceriel · August 20, 2020, 8:28am

@albetaCOM, tried different modules and edited the code but the read does not work. Got my own Haiers today and I can operate them but the current mode and temp is not read. Any idea what i did wrong?

albetaCOM · August 25, 2020, 6:44am

Hi @ceriel, sorry I didn’t answer before, I was on vacations, technology free

So, it seems you are able to send commands correctly but not receive anything from the Haier unit. This is weird because it means the TX and RX line are correct.

The USB is just a connector, right? Like the one on the picture:

I show you my diagram in case it can helps in any way.

ceriel · August 25, 2020, 8:33pm

Tech free vacations are the best

I used a cable (USB > micro-usb), that should work right?

albetaCOM · August 26, 2020, 2:41pm

Hi @ceriel, you mean you just cut the micro-usb part and soldered to the WeMo, right?

If that is the case it should work. Just check the Rx wemo cable part… It seems you are able to tx but not to Rx.

Michael_Davydov · October 8, 2020, 1:07pm

I’m sorry for the stupid question, but how\with what do I flash files from github as a firmware on d1 mini? I’ve never worked with esps before

MiguelAngelLV · October 8, 2020, 2:08pm

You need use ESPHome https://esphome.io/

Michael_Davydov · October 13, 2020, 6:07pm

Thanks!

Well, been trying for about a week on and off now, and can’t quite figure it out so far. I mean I got to the point where firmware is uploaded. Then I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\python38\lib\runpy.py", line 194, in _run_module_as_main

    raise SerialException(

Not sure if it’s relevant or not.

But after this or after unplugging\plugging micro usb it does not connect to wifi. At least I don’t see it in the devices or arp lists on my router. Is it supposed to connect to wifi without being connected to Haier AC? Or is it normal that it does not connect yet? I just did not want to proceed to soldering before I’m successful with this first step.

Here’s my current config. I did try original one without alterations (well, wifi ssid and password obviously), tried commenting out baud rate line, and finally tried to make new config with wizard and copy some stuff over =(

Andrea_Meneguzzo · October 21, 2020, 7:42pm

Hi same problem here. I Tried with protocol of miguel,albeta and v2 albeta.it doesn’t works.
No receive data from ac.
I tried to chance usb cable and invert tx/rx with no luck.
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks

O_Tiby · December 15, 2020, 2:46pm

We have two Haier AD25S2SS1FA 's. These units do’nt have an USB port. Haier sells the KZW-W001 as Wifi option. Is this solution also possible for this unit?

On the motherboard there are different connections, see also https://airco.wasco.nl/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Haier-Technisch-Handboek-2020-EN.pdf

scrapid · December 17, 2020, 10:19pm

I wrote a suggestion for better home automation integrations to Haier customer support. They redirected me to official GE Appliances site and encouraged to share my ideas. I have already created topic:
https://cocreate.firstbuild.com/u/scrapid/idea/m95ckcru2bzgumi3gjgfzuxr9
I think they follow topics popularity, likes, comments. So let’s request simple changes from Haier if you miss some features

iturtikov · January 13, 2021, 2:08pm

Hello @ceriel . You were able to figure out the problem with reading the data? I have the like problem with the air conditioner. I have the like problem with the air conditioner.

scaraps · February 25, 2021, 2:06pm

Hi! did you manage to do in some way?

Keeze · March 30, 2021, 9:42pm

Hi all,

Is anyone familiair with this module I found in my Haier unit?

Before I try to open and flash it…

KoalaBear · March 31, 2021, 5:37am

I’m not, but it is certainly interesting! Already tried to check if it has open ports?

Keeze · March 31, 2021, 7:52am

I did not check for open ports yet. The unit is loosely in the box and connected tot he MOBO with 4 wires. I asume it is just V+, gnd, TX and RX. The app I connected it to is called hOn.

Keeze · March 31, 2021, 10:44pm

2021-04-01

Looks like there are no open ports?

KoalaBear · April 1, 2021, 5:14am

Which tool did you use? Because many tools only scan common ports and you have to use 1-65535 to be sure.
