Midea-ac-py integration: Change IP

Configuration Frontend
1

Greetings All

I am running the midea-ac-py integration. The IP address of my Aircon Unit has changed which has made the integration unavailable.

I know there is a config file somewhere, where the ip can edited but I cannot find this at all. If anyone can please point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Just remove and re-add the device under the integration.

The files you’re referring to are the internal storage files, which shouldn’t be edited. Doing the above will be very quick, without any loss, if you stick to the same entity names.

Found the quickest way to do it:

he configuration is stored in a JSON file within the .storage folder. This is a hidden directory within your Home Assistant’s main configuration folder (/config).

  1. Access your Home Assistant file system. The easiest way is to use the File Editor or Studio Code Server add-ons. If you don’t have them installed, you can find them in the Add-on Store.
  2. In the file editor, navigate to the /config/.storage/ directory.
  3. Look for a file named core.config_entries. This file contains the configuration data for all UI-configured integrations.

This way I only had to change the IP address, everything came back online as it was before
