IntesisHome WiFi AC Control

Thanks very much - appreciate the info. I regret my Sensibo investment, but unfortunately bought them (a long while back) before I’d really delved into the world of home automation / properly understood the alternatives.

Hello all,

I’m new to this type of software so still searching for best and easiest way :slight_smile:
I’ve seen a lot of nice work of you guys giving support to a lot users…

My question is:

How to set-up the Airconwithme (Home airco) when running mine HA in Docker?

Could someone give some advice?
@jnimmo, @mhoogenbosch and @Noobhub are you using different set-ups?

Is above set-up is only usable for HAOS, what to use with a DOCKER SET-UP?

Thanks in advance for the feedback and greetings,

Mike

unfortunately i don’t really know how as i am using it as a virtual machine in synology.

There is no difference how you run HA (docker, VM etc). All that is needed is that HA has access to either the internet or to the local IP address of the intesis/airconwithme device. I am running local here, works like a charm!

Hi Martijn,

Tested it again. Still errors when restarting HA after editing configuration.yaml

Is there something else I could check?
Thanks for youre time.

Doesn’t matter witch line I will hash out or test, every line is giving mee errors! Local or over Internet?

Greetings,

Mike

I’d suggest remove Intesishome completely from the config file and set it up through Integrations

@jnimmo, thanks for youre reply but it isn’t installed?

And Integration is referring to the Home Assistant support page?

So, what can I do next? :thinking:

Greetings,

Mike

Running HA in Docker, and got the Airconwithme module…

You need the Hacs integration for local to work. And then add integration as jnimmo is suggesting.

And of course be sure ha can reach the airconwithme IP. Eg a ping sensor for debugging.

Hello Martijn,

Maybe stupid question;
I Can’t resolve addresses withing BASH
HACS Docker

This is a virtual network
Do you know a way to reslove this?

Greetings again, and thanks for your reply.

Mike

Hi Mike,

Difficult to say without knowing your setup. Seems like your Ha docker is not running in the proper network setup. Mine is not in docker so don’t know the details, could be that Ha needs to run as host.

Would try to find the solution for this in another thread.

Good luck!

so there seems to be a problem with the native HA integration since 2023.1, I don’t think it matters what intesis device you have, I think its general - I’ve had this integration working for 2 years with zero problems, but ever since the above version it doesn’t work. Seems the error is in the number of arguments in async_setup_platform The error in the logs is:

2023-02-05 14:59:29.423 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.climate] Error while setting up intesishome platform for climate
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/helpers/entity_platform.py", line 290, in _async_setup_platform
    task = async_create_setup_task()

    return platform.async_setup_platform(  # type: ignore[union-attr]
TypeError: async_setup_platform() takes 3 positional arguments but 4 were given

The HACS integration does work - both local as well as cloud, but oddly even though (I think) they were written by same developer, the hacs version has an annoying delay when giving it a command in the UI (this was mentioned above). On the native integration this delay did not exist. If the native version could be fixed that would really be great!
Don’t think it matters for the issue above, but all my AC’s are Fujitsu and are using IntesisHome wifi modules (FJ-RC-WIFI-1B).
Any update to the native integration or even moving it out of YAML would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all, for youre comments on this post.
Network settings resolved on my NEW LTS 22.04 Ubuntu.
DNS not working as it should :frowning:
HACS active and ‘Aircowithme’ under HomeAssistant acive.
Took a while but is working great…
Domoticz deactivated, completetly over to HA

Cheers,

Mike

I am trying to setup the IntesisHome integration so I can use my MH-AC-WIFI-1 in local mode.

I have downloaded the integration in HACS, rebooted and then tried to add the integration from the ‘Settings’ ‘Integrations’ menu. When I try and install it I receive the following message:

Error

Config flow could not be loaded: 500 Internal Server Error Server got itself in trouble

The intesishome folder appears to be correctly installed into the the custom_components folder with all of the correct files.

Just wondering if anyone may be able to assist me with this issue ?

Thanks

I just tried to load this integration again and it worked perfectly. Not sure what happened, but it is all good now.

Well done those involved in obtaining local access to the Intesis system, this will hopefully be a lot more reliable than the cloud based system.

Is anyone else seeing an outage on Intesis Cloud? All four of my VRF controllers are showing disconnected in Fujitsu app and when accessing directly via IP address.

The local connection is working great, thanks @Chilling_Silence

Looks like Intesis Cloud is back up, Fujitsu app is functioning again.

Hi,

Thanks for info. I have a cuestion. I would like to config this custom addon with local acces. I know the IP intesesishome devices, but I dont know the user/password. I am trying to use user/password from Cloud IntesisHome, but is not the same (for the local acces)

Thanks!!!

The Fujitsu devices are U:admin, P:admin. The Intesishome branded unit might be same.

Not, not working with admin/admin user/password.

I checked my two devices and i have this model FJ-AC-WIFI-1. They are old and this is not FJ-AC-WIFI-1B. Maybe this is the problem?

In the other way, I have another problem with the integration cloud Ac intesishome. In home assistant only detect one of two AC, but in Mobile APP and Web Access Cloud i can see two devices and they work perfect. Do you know who is the problem?

I can see this in IntesisHome logs:

I managed to get this integration working easily (by adding the climate block to my configuration.yaml)

climate:
  - platform: intesishome
    username: xxx
    password: xxx

I was able to add the dashboard card, and control of the thermostat works. If I look at the entitity created ‘climate.g33kbar’ I can see the recorded temp history. Is there any way to get this data into a sensor so that I can chart it in a dashboard instead of just being able to see it in the history?
