Hi
anyone got hitachi Hi-kumo integrated to HA?
i tryde the mitsubishi version that i think is using hi-kumo to but that didn’t work.
Hi there, I have released yesterday a thing that I’ve done: https://github.com/dotvav/aasivak
It connects to the Hi-Kumo cloud with your app credentials, just like the mobile app does. It discovers your devices and hooks them up into HA as climate components throughs MQTT discovery.
It is not documented and not tested. It is not super robust. But it works on my computer. I have made an automation in HA that resets the swing-mode of a unit to “both” whenever the Hi-Kumo schedulling system invariably and infuriatingly forces it to “off”.
Disclaimer: I have not asked Hitachi’s permission to reverse engineer their protocol; they may not like it; it may break things.
Nice!! thank you! i’m going to test this out directly.

Hi again, can you do a guide on the installation? i never just used mqtt
Hi, I won’t explain how to install and setup mqtt. You will find a bunch of existing doc for that and it depends on your personal requirements and on your HA platform.
If I can block some time this week-end (not guaranteed) I will write down how I am installing and running the script on my machine. Because I am running HA in Docker on Ubuntu, it will not replicate well for someone who runs hassio on a raspberry…
Ok, thank you

Hi there, I’ve just made a quick update, and updated the installation notes on github. Cheers!
ok thank you, il try to install it.

Hello dotvav ,
I have Hi-Kumo to control my heat pump for heating. I would like to intergrade it with home assistant.
I have hassio installed on a VirtualBox virtual machine on windows. Could you please give me a hint on how to install your add-on ?
I would appreciate your help if you can
Thank you very much in advance
Regards
Hello my friend,
Did you manage to get it working?
Hi ,
I have Hassio on a virtual box machine running on windows 10.
Where do I put the files I downloaded from your page in github, do I put them in my custom components folder or in the same folder as my configuration.yaml file? Do i have do do anything else to get it working?
Thank you in advance for your help
Kind regards
Stavros
Hi, which heat pump do you have and which Hi-Kumo hardware do you use?
Hi, I have Yutaki Monoblock RASM3-VNE , I use the Hitachi HI-Box model AHP-SMB-01
I just found out that Hi Kumo is built on top of the Overkiz platform, which has the same base as Somfy TaHoma. This means that you should be able to use our new custom integration as well.
Could someone give https://github.com/iMicknl/ha-tahoma try? Unzip the folder and place custom_components/tahoma in your custom_components folder. It would be great to understand if Hi Kumo users can benefit from our integration as well.
If you have any feedback, please let me know via PM / GitHub issues. Don’t forget to turn on debug mode (https://github.com/imicknl/ha-tahoma#enable-debug-logging). There is a possibility that we don’t know your devices yet, thus your debug log is very useful at that point.
(And if this works, I would love to see if we can merge your work into our integration. Especially since we are working towards a core integration. )
Hello , I hope you are well
I managed to install the files on the pi in aasivak directory. When I run aasivak i get this error. Any ideas what may be the problem. I guess it is something with the mqtt but I dont know how to fix it. My Mqtt server is running on the same pi home assistant is running. Thank you
Hi Mick ,
It was not possible for me to get the aasivak addon to work after many tries and hours spent. Maybe it is my lack of knowledge but at least I tried 
Do you know how I can use the Tahoma Gateway to control my Hitachi RASM3-VNE Heat pump and then connect it to Home Assistant using your intergration ? I know it can be done (https://service.somfy.com/downloads/master_v4_b2c/9019863fiche_hitachi_0916_eng.pdf) but I can’t find any tutorials to do that. The local dealer has no idea so I am alone. I would appreciate any help. Thank you in advance.
Thank you for the quick response
Do you have a link for any tutorials on how to use this?
Thank you again

I finally installed it using the instructions on your github. Not difficult at all . I now got back two modebus sensors / entities under the Tahoma intergration which seems to be electric consumption for my space heating and the Domestic Hot Water (See Pictures) . It doesn’t give any more info about state or current temperatures of heating or Hot water . i wonder if I should do anything else to get more info from the intergration. Any way thank you again. It was a small step forward 
I did sent you a private message, let’s continue there or in the Tahoma Integration Refactored - Share your Projects! / Custom Components - Home Assistant Community (home-assistant.io) topic.
I don’t want to hijack this topic.
