This is awesome!

Any chance we can get the options to change the vertical and horizontal directions?

Thanks!

This is awesome, @Mmodarre - nice work.

Has anyone had any success with hard wiring their Fujitsu ducted air into Home Assistant? We have the wall controller for our one, and the installer said we can’t have both that and the wifi controller as the unit can’t handle both. So, I’m looking at the other options - IR being a fallback, but they seem to have a connector kit (UTD-ECS5A) that I thought I might be able to connect to a Raspberry Pi or something…

But that’s as far as I’ve got. :slight_smile:

You should look into Intesis. FJ-RC-WIFI-1NA

It’s supposed to work in conjunction with wired wall controller and there’s also a native integration for it in Home Assistant, though it’s cloud push class.

There’s also a Modbus converter UTY-VMSX, but I don’t know enough about Modbus to know how you’d go about using Home Assistant to communicate modes and settings over that protocol. You’d also need a USB to Modbus adaptor for the Home Assistant computer and you’d need to lookup the packet formatting as found in the second installation manual link here: https://connect.fujitsugeneral.com/uty-vmsx/product/UTY-VMSX

I’m in the same boat with a ducted Fujitsu system and my installer told me the same thing yours did.

I reached out to Fujitsu and was told the following:

  • FGlair / wifi module can work in tandem with wired remote.
  • FGlair / wifi module and wired remote will stay in sync (meaning updating the temp on one will show the updated temp on the other).
  • If you have the wired remote set to sense temp introducing the wifi module will still respect this.

All is hearsay as I cannot get my hands on a wifi remote (yet) to set up and test.

Sorry to awaken an old thread, but I’m researching a Fujitsu A/C purchase, and want to give myself the best chance of automation. Did you make any more progress on this?

Not specifically - I am looking at the Intesis module now. I found one locally. Hoping to have it installed later this week / early next.

Thanks for the reply! I’d be very grateful if you could post back here once you have it installed (and have hopefully got it connected).

Accidentally ended up with an Intesis AC Cloud Control (Intesishome) module. It’s working great. I put on the custom component for GitHub - jnimmo/hass-intesishome: Experimental fork of the IntesisHome integration for Home Assistant and have it setup with local control via HTTP.

Compared to my friend’s FGLair module + integration - functionality looks to be the same except Intesis (with the custom compnent) gives local control.
