The newest versions do have some improvements that may be worthwhile around reusing TCP connections to the indoor units and avoiding double-polling. Both changes will take it easier on the indoor units' hamster-driven TCP stacks and so may be more reliable. There's nothing software can do about poor WiFi signal, of course.
Your existing kumo_cache should be fine. I would recommend keeping a backup copy in case of issues.
Of course, if anything breaks, you get to keep all the pieces.
Just in case this is useful to anyone else, I have updated, all is well, and I still have local control of the heat pumps using my prior kumo_cache. No comfort v3 app for me! Hopefully this will make the "hamster-driven" mitsubishi adapters happier (or at least decrease the log spam).
I just installed the Kumo integration app and the login screen will not take my comfort app login and password. I tried changing my password to verify I'm typing it into the intregration login correctly and still getting an Invalid credentials error. Any ideas on what i need to try? Thanks
Anyone have any insight on this? Would like to get this working but nothing I try seems to work. Is this a known issue?
I just released a new version which may do better. Give it a try and report back. I do tend to pay more attention to GitHub than to this thread.
Does it work with Kumo Cloud Canada? It doesn't seem to accept my login.
See Canadian app uses different endpoint · Issue #62 · dlarrick/pykumo · GitHub for a Canada workaround. I can't fix this because I don't have a Canadian account to test against, but I'd accept patches.
When I try to set this up, I login but then get an error and no local devices are setup. I have a new install with the “new” comfort app.
What should I be trying?
Mitsubishi broke this. Their cloud APIs in the US no longer supply the credentials necessary for local control. I myself (hass-kumo/pykumo author) recently added new heads and had to go the esp32/cn105 route. If you have a working setup, do not reconfigure things and do not lose your kumo_cache.json file.
