ESP Haier: Haier Air Conditioner + ESP Home + Wemos D1 mini

Is there a possibility to calibrate the temperature of my airco unit in ESP home?


I flashed with the haier.h version and I have no more control or temperature I no longer have the original file! help please

problem solved :hugs: known problem

I’m looking for how to activate silent mode! cordially

What was the problem?

@Knol010 I also have a new haier tundra unit with the esp32 unit. I found the correct jst connector:
JST SM04B-GHS-TB

After soldering the male connector on a smd breakout board and connecting it to a esp8266 I can confirm that it works with the Haierv3.h! This leaves the original cable intact.
And remember to update esphome to the latest version, I was running an older version that did not support baud_rate: 0 for the logger.

Finally thanks. I’m going to order them!

Hi everybody,

Don’t know if this information will help anybody. But I was able to make a build that is working on ESP32-for-Haier (the one that is on this photos ESP Haier: Haier Air Conditioner + ESP Home + Wemos D1 mini - #103 by Knol010 ) Processor used on this board is ESP32­SOLO­1 which unlike full-scale ESP32 has only one core so normal builds for ESP32 will not work you need to make special single core builds.
This configuration for ESPHome worked for me:

esphome:
  name: haier
  platform: ESP32
  board: esp32dev
  includes:
    - Haierv2.h
  platformio_options:
    platform: [email protected]
    platform_packages: tasmota/framework-arduinoespressif32 @ 3.10006.210420

To Flash it you will need to use these pins:


The port that is used for communication with AC is UART2. I wasn’t able to make it to communicate over the Serial component (by using hardware_uart: UART2 option) but I succeeded by using my custom code based on UARTDevice ESPHome component and this version 2 protocol from albetaCOM https://github.com/albetaCOM/esp-haier/blob/e2524992f9d11af9965d4c6dbb3e2a81981ceae4/Haierv2.h .
I am not a big specialist in ESPHome. Can somebody help me with figuring out why hardware_uart option didn’t work in my case?

Was anyone able to extract binary from “Esp32-for-haier” module?

I have mix of hOn and smartAir2 aiconditioners, i have tested that the hON module (Esp32-for-haier") works with the aircon originaly for smartAir2, but it does not work other way, so I would like to program my own ESP32 (single core) to work with hOn if possible.

Would this aliexpress.com/item/1005003107648348.html or this 10 Sets SH 1.0mm JST 1.25mm ZH 1.5mm PH 2.0 XH 2.54mm 2Pin /3/4/5/6/7/8/10P Male & Female Plug Connector with 100mm length Wire|Connectors| - AliExpress JST 1.25mm pitch 4mm work with the original connector?

I ordered this:

I have these:

Not the correct ones :see_no_evil:

I ordered this now also. Is it possible to solder it without the Breadbord? I don’t think it’s gonna fit with the breadbord and the esp chip?


Hi I have an Haier AC50S2SG1FA. And dont know which wifi module is for my AC. Also, can I make my own with ESP32. On the photo is the connection to my wifi module. CN4
Thank you

I did successfully flashed and connected my nodemcu to my Haier ac but there was a little trick RX and tx if connected on the same as on the PCB motherboard I couldn’t access my AC. Then I switched them around and now it works hopefully some can use this.

Hi, is here someone with as50s2f1fa aircon with the new wifi module (black box, hON app, version 4? ) and can provide serial number? I want to try new haier module with old aircon, but I need correct serial number for that.

I managed to get as35s2f1fa-wh working with the new module instead of the old one with usb connector (that is not using actual usb), but for that i had also the new unit with correct SN to identify it.

@Nikola_Jovanoski Can you please send me your SN? Maybe even AC50S2SG1FA would work for, I just need to try in the app.

Update: nevermind, I don’t think anymore it is possible to use newer module with as50s2f1fa, it works with as35s2f1fa thought, maybe it would be possible using the “jumpers” on the board, but i don’t want to mess with that.

I changed from internet provider yesterday and now my AC units doesn’t work anymore. The ESP’s are online and I can see the logfiles. I don’t know the solution. Can someone help me in the right direction?

Maybe you new router block the ESP messages or change the IP for device?

Try remove the esphome integration and you add it again.

I did it yesterday and the problem is solved!
Thanks anyway.

Hello,
I had some issues with this, such as changes through home assistant not respecting the current display or purify/health state when there is a change, so i went ahead and modified it to work for me, also cleaned up a few things that didnt seem to be working. Biggest change was, instead of setting each bit individually and trying to remember them all, we use the last received AC status and only modify the bits we need. This fixed purify mode for me and the display, and in my quick testing everything seems to work with this new code. This may fix other issues as well since we just basically echo back the control bits the ac tells us except for the bits we changed to control instead of trying to know what every bit does.

Next big question is, how do I add options for the items not supported by “climate” entities in home assistant in the yaml? Some switches and status for health/purify mode, display on/off, etc would be nice to have in home assistant. We already have the functions to get the status of those Items, but whats the best way to add entities for those in the yaml?

Here is my attached HaierV4.h, once i figure out how to implement custom switches for missing features in the yaml file, adding the missing features such as turbo mode, quiet mode, timers, etc should be easy since we already know how to get them from the AC unit.

Hi all,

To save anyone else having the trouble I’ve had most of today - figured I’d register an account and post.

I’m using 3 Haier AC units all running R_1.0.00/e_2.3.12 firmware, originally connected to SmartAir2.

I was having strange issues where my ESP8266 was sending all of the right commands and my ESPHome logs showed polling messages, but for some reason I’d never be able to use the integration as I would hit an error “No action, first poll answer not received” when trying to adjust the state of the A/C.

I spent some time debugging, and realised while sniffing with a UART that upon connecting the RX pin to my ESP8266, I was triggering the over-voltage snap-back circuit, which was grounding out the RX pin.

Basically, I could see response messages from my air-conditioner when only the UART was connected to the serial interface, but as soon as the ESP was connected too - dead silence.

Investigating Instalator’s circuit schematics I could see he was running RX through a series of voltage drop resistors. This wasn’t enough to resolve the issue for me, and I ended up testing with a SN74ahct125n level shifter - immediately started to work, but these are large quad channel units I had laying around and I needed two - one for RX and one for TX.

I’ve since ordered a sparkfun logic level converter with the BSS138 mosfets on board which are bi-directional. A single one of these boards should sort out my issues once and for all.

TL;DR: if you’re having issues with this integration not receiving response messages and you’ve tried a few different Haier.h file versions, you likely need a level shifter like I did.
