Hi o0Zz,
Thank you so much for this, really appreated. A friend and I are installing in our homes a Mitsubishi AC just because this custom component exists.
Any news on having it integrated as an official component in HA?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Marcos.
Probably for start it would be great if Melcloud would be integrated into HACS, so that future updating would be easierâŠ
Thanks for this integration wounderful job !!! thank you to you you are a genius !!
The melcloud app lets you get energy usage, is it possible to obtain this info through the integration?
On my Ecodan system I can only get an estimate in Melcloud, as the HP is not fitted with energy meters. In case electrical meters are fitted, their values are passed through the API.
As I am more than a newbie, it took me literally weeks to figure out the right syntax to get all the parameters out of the JSON⊠
What I do:
- platform: rest
name: Ecodan_FlowTemperature
# friendly_name: "Flow Temp"
unit_of_measurement: '°C'
resource: https://app.melcloud.com/Mitsubishi.Wifi.Client/user/ListDevices?id=**yourdeviceID**&buildingID=**yourbuildingID**
method: GET
headers:
X-MitsContextKey: '**yourcontextkeyhere**'
value_template: '{{ value_json[0].Structure.Devices[0]["Device"]["FlowTemperature"]}}'
scan_interval: 30
By replacing âFlowTemperatureâ by âCurrentEnergyConsumedâ you would get the energy consumption.
My problem is that I canât get the template properly working so I am using a list of rest sensors and I call the API every time⊠Some help would be appreciated! 
Did you try my approach in post #194? I can get any value from the Ecodan json with just one call to the APIâŠ
Hi - yes, initially I copied your post #194 but then I found out that I could get more data by making another call (https://app.melcloud.com/Mitsubishi.Wifi.Client/user/ListDevices). For example I can get the compressor speed! The response though is much more complicated and I am not able to write myself a better code than calling the API several times. If I try something similar to your code, I get either âunknownâ or other error codes for the sensors I defined through templating⊠probably due to the length of the API answer and my inability to use the right syntax to parse the json.
Yes, itâs all on the parsing of the json. With the right syntax you can extract any data you want with just one call. You can maybe try and post the json in the general help forum, see if someone there can help you point at the values you need.
Finally I could make it work: I used âjqâ to eliminate the brackets from the json coming out from the API and now I can use attributes and through templating itâs quite straightforward to extract all values I want from a single call.
Reference here: RESTful Sensor with json result as array values?
My call is now looking like:
command: âcurl -v -H âX-MitsContextKey: yourkeyhereâ âhttps://app.melcloud.com/Mitsubishi.Wifi.Client/user/ListDevices?id=yourID&buildingID=buildingIDâ| jq â.[].Structure.Devices[].Deviceââ
Hello everybody,
This is an amazing job @o0Zz!
I have some questions though.
Through MEL I can see the below screenshot for my unit.
On my HA, after inserting your code, I can see this.
My questions are:
bonjour,
je suis nouveau dans cet univers, je possĂšde depuis peu 1 PAC Mitsubishi ECODAN et jâutilise MELCLOUD depuis que jâai installĂ© le MAC-5671F-E (trĂšs rapidement aprĂšs la pose de ma PAC dĂ©but octobre 2019).
Jâutilise aussi Hassio aprĂšs mâĂȘtre Ă©quipĂ© dâun Raspberry et je cherche Ă intĂ©grer MELCloud. Je commençais Ă dĂ©sespĂ©rer et jâai dĂ©couvert votre communautĂ© et les gens formidables qui sont Ă lâoeuvreâŠ
Par contre je ne parviens pas à réaliserc ce que vous décrivez.
Mes connaissances en informatique sont trĂšs limitĂ©es et en gĂ©nĂ©ral jâarrive Ă faire les choses en regardant et en copiant ce qui fonctionne mais cette fois la barre est un peu haute, ce qui me manque câest le dĂ©marrage. Pourriez vous mâindiquer comment utiliser le code que vous donnez dans le post #194? Je nâai pas compris non plus comment faire un compte invité⊠je nâai donc pas obtenu la clĂ© de contexte, la liste des bĂątiments ni les pĂ©riphĂ©riques liĂ©s Ă mon compte.
Un grand merci dâavance

Iâve got the same, but at this point itâs only the vertical you can control.
Regarding presets, there I would suggest that you either look for automations or scripts. I myself is using of course automations based on criterias, but Iâve also assigned a few scripts to buttons in Lovelace so that I can have some presets (run cool or heat for a few hours with highest fan speed).
Anglais sâIâll vous plait.
Hello,
Iâm new to this world, I recently Cap 1 Mitsubishi ECODAN and I use MELCLOUD since I installed the MAC-5671F-E (very soon after the installation of the CAP in early October 2019).
I also use Hassio after having equipped myself with a raspberry and I try to integrate it with MELCloud. I was beginning to despair and I discovered your community and the great people who are at work âŠ
By cons I can not achieve what you describe.
My computer skills are very limited and in general I can do things by looking and copying what works but this time the bar is a little high, what I miss is the start. Could you tell me how to use the code you give in post # 194? I also did not understand how to make a guest account ⊠so I did not get the context key, the list of buildings or devices related to my account.
A big thank you in advance

Just wanted to say a big thank you for this plugin. My installer recommended us to run the fan of our air heater at max speed during the cold winters in Sweden to get the most value out of our investment. It works really well, but it sounds like a⊠Big fanâŠ
But using this plugin can adjust the speed of the fan during our TV sessions.

It works really well and the wife is really pleased. Happy wife, happy lifeâŠ
Thanks again.
Did you ever move forward with this idea? I want to do the same
Itâs a shameless plug but hereâs my take on integrating MELCloud and Home Assistant: https://github.com/vilppuvuorinen/hass-melcloud
Itâs basically a copy of the Daikin integration without the switch platform. Itâs 100% async and configured using Config Flow. Only the ContextKey token from MELCloud is stored to the Config Entry. Once Iâve solved the authentication, the it should be possible to PR the whole thing to Home Assistant.
I havenât yet implemented vane control or swing modes and thereâs only support for DeviceType 0 devices.
Not all heroes wear capes⊠Thanks!
I did some further digging into the MELCloud API and it looks like they have an Oauth provider and some sort of a grant management scheme integrated to the service.
I tried to email the MELCloud support to check if it is possible to provision some sort of developer client ids. It would be pretty neat to get the integration working with the OAuth2 Control Flow. Letâs see whether it will be a friendly reply or a cease and desist letter.
Simple thermostat option:
Code:
cards:
- control:
_names: false
entity: climate.melcloud_kabinet_XXXXXX
hide:
state: false
temperature: true
name: Klima
sensors:
- entity: sensor.kabinet_klima_temperatura
name: Klima
- entity: sensor.kabinet_t
name: Kabinet
step_size: 1
type: 'custom:simple-thermostat'
type: vertical-stack
On name click you still get âoldâ and more detailed options menuâŠ
BR,
Simon
