@wkd8176 do you think it would be possible to add to the op mode “off” so it displays off when using HomeKit.
ATM if the ac is on HomeKit displays the current mode that makes the unit show as on. I know the api returns the running op mode even if the unit is off.
Some ha platforms don’t have on/off switch just the mode for state.
It would be…
Mine is work on/off and temp change on HA native bridged homekit and nothing changed my repo
I corrected that. If ac is off, hk displays the state as on, as it takes from the op mode
You’re right I was using the old ha homebridge plug-in. Using ha directly works as expected.
Can this be used with HassOS? Is there an addon for it?
I don’t know. I don’t use hassos
It’s working for me with Hass.io and HassOS, the main problem was to create the custom component and add the wineq dependency but I was able to do it with the “Custom deps deployment” add-on
I think I’ve got everything setup properly but how do I get the token? That’s the only thing I can’t figure out.
Follow the instructions in GitHub - sampsyo/hass-smartthinq: Home Assistant component for LG SmartThinQ HVAC devices
You need to run the python script to get the token. However, if you are not in the US, like it was my case, before running the script change the country in wideq.py
How do I run the python script with just HassOS installed though? I didn’t use docker or anything I just installed HassOS directly to my nuc.
That’s locally, on your computer. It’s just to get the token, you don’t need to run it in your HA installation. You need the token for the configuration.yaml
how i can use it in hass.io ?

You are using pip version 19.0.2, however version 19.0.3 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the ‘pip install --upgrade pip’ command.
finally got my token but now im having an issue with an error
Component not found: smartthinq
in my config i have
smartthinq:
token: MY_TOKEN
then i have the files
pycache
smartthinq_dryer.py
smartthinq_washer.py
inside of
homeassistant/custom_components/sensors/
i added this to my sensors
- platform: smartthinq_dryer
name: Dryer
mac: MY_MAC
- platform: smartthinq_washer
name: Washer
mac: MY_MAC
then i click check config and i get component not found.
this dont help me … lokks like find nothing to install

Hi. I have an LG Smartthinq washer and dryer that don’t seem to match any of the models currently working with the various forks of this project.
Would it be helpful to provide the API information for these devices? I can export them with @wkd8176’s wideq version but I don’t want to pile useless data onto an already very long thread.
Please let me know if this data would be of use. Thanks for all your efforts!
look in your \deps\lib\python3.6\site-packages folder and see if it created a wideq.py file there. If so then im pretty sure it did its job.

Hey guys, lots of usefull tips in here already!
I have a LG AC with smartthinq and I run hassio and I managed to get the token by modifying wideq.py to my country. Next step was to include wideq.py in my hassio install which also worked out with the Custom deps deployment addon. I verified this by checking \deps\lib\python3.6\site-packages
I created a folder .homeassistant/custom_component, gave it 777 rights and cloned into climate by:
git clone https://github.com/sampsyo/hass-smartthinq.git climate
I gave everything in the folder climate 777 rights as well.
In my config I have:
smartthinq:
token: xxxx
climate:
- platform: smartthinq
I keep seeing the following error in the log:
2019-02-24 17:51:32 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.hassio] INFO:homeassistant.util.package:Attempting install of colorlog==4.0.2
Testing configuration at /config
Failed config
General Errors:
- Component not found: smartthinq
- Platform not found: climate.smartthinqSuccessful config (partial)
My folder structure looks like:
├── custom_components
│ └── climate
│ ├── LICENSE
│ ├── README.md
│ └── smartthinq.py
So seems like home assistant can’t find my smartthinq component. I don’t understand why? Do any of you have an idea?
Maybe we could update the readme with a hassio section as there seems to be some confusion among users. I’d be willing to do that!
Hi, I have a washer and dryer also but I haven’t started to integrate the device into my HA yet. Your API information (and others) would be very useful for me. Could you share your setup with me please?Thank you in advance! 
did you ever get this figured out? Im stuck in the same spot
I did get further yes! I’m also active here where I’m trying to figure it out now: https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/auwptn/smartthinq_wideq_dependency/
Summary:
First of all, in hassio the custom_components needs to be in the same folder as config. Not in .homeassistant but in homeassistant without the dot!
Next thing in the wideq package which cannot be installed on hassio because it is not available on pypi.
Workaround: edit smartthinq.py:
REQUIREMENTS = [“https://github.com/sampsyo/wideq/archive/master.zip#wide1==0.0.1”]
Then I ran into a problem that I have to change my country-code in wideq and when using this workaround the wideq file is downloaded every restart. Therefore I made a fork of this repo with my own countrycode and used this link.
Now wideq is being loaded but I get the following errors which I’m still trying to figure out:
