IntesisHome WiFi AC Control

Third party integrations
247

Hey is anyone with an Intesis Home unit able to tell us if there’s a local open port, like the Intesis Box has? I’m in the market for a new multi-split system and want a local API (no cloud) and use @jnimmo’s solution (I’ll try and help too), however if that’s available on the Intesis Home units then I wouldn’t be locking out any future ‘normal’ buyer who won’t have all the automation etc.

248

Have you got the init.py file too?

249

Good idea to future plan for these things! There aren’t any open ports on the IntesisHome. Could just sell the IntesisBox if you ended up leaving the house though.

250

@jnimmo you have update the custom component?

251

I’ve just pushed an update to the pull request, and published an updated custom component under Release v1.1 at https://github.com/jnimmo/pyIntesisHome/archive/1.1.zip

This release is a significant rework to meet the asynchronous requirements of the core product and includes:

  • Added support for airconwithme devices
  • Detects the fan speeds available on a device
  • Now using aiohttp instead of requests and refactored all of the setter methods to be async

Let me know if there are any issues

@jnimmo i am gonna test it now! How can i add that i have a airconwithme device?

253

Hmm sorry I should update the doco
Airconwithme should be configured like this

climate:
  - platform: intesishome
    username: user
    password: pass
    device: airconwithme
254

Thx a lot!! I will keep you updated!

Hi. I own a Fujitsu Falcyon mini split and I’m planing to buy and install the wired WIFI module as explain here:

If anyone has same setup, I’ll appreciate any suggestion or advice.

Thank you.

256

Hey Jayden,
Can you advise what fan speeds your device has?
Cheers

257

Just updated to v1.1. Running HA v0.102.2. Working flawlessly–thank you!

258

Doesn’t show up any climate device for my airco. I have placed the intensishome folder in my custom components folder. In the log i can see that HA find the custom component but there is nothing to show up.

Thanks for testing, looks like your system hasn’t picked up pyintesishome v1.5
Please try the latest code from https://github.com/jnimmo/pyIntesisHome/tree/master/custom_components/intesishome
If you update manifest file to use v1.5, or manually the latest version of pyintesishome with:
pip install pyintesishome --upgrade

Improved fan control, swing control and error handling/reconnection is GO
Cheers

Works like a charm! Thx.
I miss a couple of functions… like the vertical vane.

261

For us simple folk.

Would you mind rewriting instructions on how to use the component in HomeAssistant.

There now seems to be more files without instructions on where they should be installed.

262

@meremortal the component is going to be included in Home Assistant in the next release, I suggest waiting until then - otherwise, all three files (init.py, climate.py, manifest.json) just need to go iinto custom_components/intesishome. folder

263

Not quite sure what the issue is then.

Hi @meremortal and @jnimmo,

I am seeing the same behaviour at the moment.

my config looks like this:

climate:

Running under a hassio 0.103.6 install with pyintesishome v1.5 and the custom components in custom_components\intesishome

Anything else to be looking at or just wait and retry under 0.104?

265

Looks like you’ve got an old version of pyintesishome installed - try pip uninstall pyintesishome then pip install pyintesishome

266

Intesishome is now official in v0.104 :tada: Thanks all for your assistance and troubleshooting in getting it there

This means you can now remove Intesishome from custom_components!
