Special note on the wifi “SMARTPODS”
You need to initialize the original smartkit dongle to send a wakeup string to the pod.
Once that happens the light will turn on the pod indicating it’s listening. the far left you can see the white LED i’m talking about.
With the light on. you can simply swap out for the Midea Dongle and it will start working.
All Works well, no major issues… Thanks all for your effort in making this possible!
Special notes:
I’m going to see if I can capture the wakeup string to include in the project and possibly avoid this step.
Had to take my board out of the Pod to get the dongle to fit. working on a 3d Printable case for it to go into. will update once that’s available.
I followed the dev thread on Telegram, and it seems that is how it’s supposed to work…
That makes no sense though. It doesn’t do that with the IR remote and I’m fairly sure it didn’t with the Midea app as well, although it’s been a while since I’ve used it.
I can confirm the following unit also works: Manufacturer: Midea Model: Mission Pro Year: 2019 Market: EU Model ID: MSMBAU-09HRFN8
I also had two 2021 units installed this week. Will confirm later if these work as well once I receive the dongles for those.
I raised an issue on the repo of reneklootwijk to reflect this as well
Confirmed:
Manufactured: Inventor
Model: Supreme
Year: 2021(?)
Market: EU
Model ID: SVI32-09WFI
Had to upload the sketch, delete the esphome yaml and add it again to work. If I didn’t, it wouldn’t get a response. With a d1 mini, logic converter and uart on pins 4&5(D1&D2)
As you were kind enough to provide links to the manufacturer websites, I took the liberty and changed your first entry from “Idea” to “Midea”. Just as FYI in case you want to change it in your post as well.
