Integrate Micro-air-easy-touch

Configuration
1

I have been searching and trying for days to integrate this device. I found it on github, but have no idea how to install to Home Assistant Green

I have installed file editor and Samba on HA, but do not know what to do next

Hello bovinedudeRV,

There is no code in that repo, only the early stages of a HACS interface.
Perhaps contact the author ?

Thanks for confirming that. Thought I was going crazy

@bovinedudeRV I just released v0.1.0. You can install it via HACS by adding the repo as a Custom Repository.

5

I still cannot figure this out. I have it loaded on home assistant, but any tile, sensor, or button that I setup says “unknown”

6

I’m new to HA, I’ve installed HACS but cant find this in HACS. Is it still active?

@BovineDude - Have you had any luck getting this integration running? There is now a V0.2.0 but I have not been able get it to accept the device credentials.

8

I am also having the same problem.

Any luck, just starting to look into this. Thanks.

Have two zone micro air unit. Is this project still active?

I finally have this integration running correctly. I originally used a Bluetooth adapter, and could find and select my thermostat but not enter credentials.
Then I switched to an ESP32 Bluetooth proxy. After that the credentials were accepted and the integration installed.
Initially it took many minutes before the Device Entity started working (like maybe 30 minutes).
I’m just learning about Bluetooth but I think my issues were entirely in the adapter configuration, not this integration.
I’d like to experiment more but my thermostat is an hour away from home.

12

When it asks for credentials are you using the micro air or home assistant credentials?

13

I used micro-air credentials, case-sensitive.

k3vmcd noted elsewhere : “This integration requires an active connection. The device does not advertise any data passively.”

14

So you’re using the same microair credentials you use on your phone right? I’ve tried a bunch of times but can’t get it to work. Maybe I’m impatient but its been on there for months. I just confirmed my credentials work on the microair app on wifi on a new tablet to be sure.

I’m going to give it a day and see what happens. I have 2 microair’s in my RV but I think 1 is unplugged as I don’t use that AC and only the other 4

I just came across this post and the integration linked within. Very happy to learn about this. For me the integration worked right away after setting up and entering the same credentials I used in the phone app.

I think your bluetooth connection might be set as passive. I am using an ESP32 proxy, set up by ESPHome Builder. The videos I watched said to set the device as “passive”, which is a deal-breaker I think.
Originally I could see the thermostat, but not sent credentials to it.
Adding this solved the issue for me:
esp32_ble_tracker:
scan_parameters:
interval: 1100ms
window: 1100ms

bluetooth_proxy:
active: True
