Any plans or support for Refrigerators, especially CGE29DP2TDS1 ?
Just got my additional adapters today, have been very happy with the beta device Iāve been using. Noticed these arenāt coming with enclosures anymore, though.
@gillspice are you able to share 3D models for the enclosure that used to be included?

Most refrigerators use GEA2, the previous version of the protocol. You can interact with GEA2 appliances using the arduino library found here
GEA2 support in the HA adapter is not likely to come soon since it doesnāt support ERD discovery that is used to populate the MQTT server in the HA adapter firmware.
I have a fork of the repository which uses GEA2, but at the moment all the code does is try each of the 2000+ GEA2 addresses and report which ones are valid.
In the future I hope to subscribe to those valid ones and report the data to MQTT.
You can check it out here: GitHub - mekaneck/home-assistant-adapter-gea2: Home assistant adapter firmware customized for use with GE appliances that communicate using GEA2 instead of GEA3

Does this support the GE Cafe CGE29DP2TDS1? I donāt see refrigerators in the compatibility list.

Anyone come up with a decent solution to run the wire from the service port behind the detergent load drawer on a front load washer? There is not a lot of clearance to run a wire.
I have model PFW870SPV0RS
Does this work with GE fridges?
And does it support Shabbos mode?
Do you know if the integration is compatible with the GEA2 adapter code?
I have that code running and populating my MQTT broker with info, and the integration sees the topic and has created a device, but doesnāt create any entities.
The answer is ānot reallyā. The current GEA2 adapter code can only read from appliances. It cannot write to them.
The adapter can fetch info from GEA2 appliances and publish it to MQTT. Home Assistant can be configured to subscribe to that MQTT data and display it. Youāll need to write some YAML to create corresponding devices and sensors in Home Assistant, but once youāve done that it works well.
I donāt use any particular Home Assistant MQTT device for this; I just create the device and sensors as MQTT entities.
But everything Iām describing is read-only. The GEA2 adapter code doesnāt have any way to send commands from Home Assistant to an appliance. It only fetches data from an appliance.
Thus you canāt currently integrate a GEA2 appliance into Home Assistant in the way that you probably want.
Well I have a bit of an update on my progress - Iāve actually been successful in getting my GEA2 washing machine connected and also able to write certain ERDās!
The GE folks were kind enough to help me out in an issue I posted on the HA integration here.
The GEA2 adapter code does already support writes, and I was able to manually publish a GEA3 API feature manifest to MQTT (with a retain flag) which causes the HA integration to create some entities automatically, including writable ones.
Iām planning to test out whether I can modify the integrationās manifest json file to see if I can get additional entities supported, but that will have to wait for the holidays when I should have some free time.
But, in short, even if you donāt use the HA integration and elect to write the YAML to create the entities, it is possible to create writable entities, but youād have to know how to configure them up front.

Is the sale still active? The webpage has a price now, but thereās no purchase option. I still links to the survey related to the beta test.
It is still an active product, it might be out of stock. Iāll look into it.

With this device on my ge cafe oven, do i still have to press remote enable in order to start a bake cycle.
Any news on these adapters? Site still shows a price, but no purchase option.
It is currently out of stock until we can get another batch in.

Hi!
Iāve just bought a GE Profile oven PGF700AY1FS.
Itās not currently on the list of supported models, but is there a chance that the adapter will work with it? Itās a new model released in November 2025 and it does have an RJ-45 connector in the back.
If it will work, will it provide more features than whatās available in the Smart HQ app and cloud-based HA integration?
In particular, Iām interested in controlling the light and fan of the microwave linked via bluetooth (ChiefConnect) and setting time automatically.
Curious if you have a rough estimate of how long that might take ā are we looking at a few weeks or like, 6 months?
Thank you so much for making this, really looking forward to messing with it.
