Mitsubishi Kumo Cloud Integration

@sinemaker I went through something similar, where we added five new units to an existing, working-with-Kumo-and-HA system. For some reason, the new units had incorrect IP addresses after adding them to the integration.

Unfortunately, I don’t remember the full details, and I rebuilt my home network around the same time, changing IP address ranges and VLANs. So it’s possible that some of the issues I experienced weren’t Kumo or the Wi-Fi interfaces at all.

What I do remember is that I had to hand-edit the Kumo Cloud integration cache file, kumo_cache.json, and change the IP addresses for the units’ interfaces. The original, working unit had the correct address, but the other units had addresses from a different private network range (presumably from some default or temporary condition during setup).

Once I did that, and set the Kumo integration to prefer the cache file and rebooted HA, it all started working fine. (Or so I think I seem to maybe recall.)

The IP addresses can be hard to find in the long JSON file, but they’re under the key “address:”, and that’s the only key used for that purpose. (I think.) So, just do a quick search of the cache file for that key, and see if the addresses match what you expect. (And set the integration to prefer the cache file, and reboot.)

Thanks for the observations. My problem was actually a self-inflicted wound. I got my ip addresses backwards for my two new heat pumps. Once I fixed that everything worked perfectly.

I did a search but I could not find the answer. I have a cottage and I would like to be able to use my the home assistant at my house to pull up the info and control there Mitsubishi unit at the cottage. Can I do this or will it try and use a local IP address to always control it once configured, or will it always use the cloud to connect and control it remotely.
