Mitsubishi MELCLOUD integration with Home Assistant

I’m a little curious if “someone” did pick up the work on this component, specially to get the energy metering part in to HA.

Hello,

I tried to activate this plugin but I can’t get the config correct

This error is shown when I check the config

Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: while scanning for the next token
found character '\t' that cannot start any token
in "/config/configuration.yaml", line 64, column 2

I have used the config below and climate.py from the GitHub repo

# Melcloud

climate:
 - platform: melcloud
   email: <email>
   password: <melcloudpwd>

Can someone please help me?

Hi guys, there is a way to put this custom component (o0Zz version) on custom updater?
Thanks

After upgrading to version 0.92.0 I get error:
Integration melcloud not found when trying to verify its climate platform.

Is there any solution regarding that?

create a empty file named __init__.py inside the melcloud folder and delete the folder __pycache__

Yea… I figured out…

Solution was to download latest version from:
https://github.com/CookieMonster87/pymelcloud

And delete all from inside MelCloud folder and to make restart HA. Now it’s working back…

I tried your solution, but no luck for me.
Other suggestions I may try? I’m on Home Assistant 0.92.1

I’m on HA 0.92.1 as well and the custom component from the link above works nicely on my system. So in general it should work.

Hi everybody,
I’m just starting with this nice tool ^^

I just saw that you guys created a plugin based on the same plugin someone did for jeedom (a french tool, not as good as home assistant )

on jeedom my heat pump is working without any issue.
Is the plugin on HA only for air conditionner or does it read all melcloud values ?

I’m asking because I didn’t managed to make it work.
of course I did the stuff written in the last messages, like adding an init file
but still not managed to make it work

any help greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

for info in my logs i can see that melcloud did a login as my adress and some data from the heat pump are read, but a few lines after I saw this

This component only works with Air Conditioning units. When I add my Ecodan Water/Heat pump to MelCloud, this component stops working. I guess the solution is just a few lines of code to read the extra values from the Melcaloud account (water temp, etc), but that can only be done by someone with coding knowledge.

@Jon123 I just logged a feature request for Kumo Cloud, any chance you started work on this?

No, I ended up getting a different brand (Fujitsu), so didn’t have a need for it.

Hi all! Anybody using this component through haaska Alexa integration?
I can actually control my Mitsubishi with Alexa, but she keeps saying that it’s not responding and that is pretty annoying.

In the log I can see:

Can anyone help me? Or is it a problem of Alexa integration?
Thank You :slight_smile:

ok, I’ve found a solution to this issue.
I’ve modified the file climate.py and set:

OPERATION_HEAT_STR = ‘heat’
OPERATION_COOL_STR = ‘cool’
OPERATION_FAN_STR = ‘fan’
OPERATION_AUTO_STR = ‘auto’
OPERATION_OFF_STR = ‘off’
OPERATION_DRY_STR = ‘dry’

The original file has Heat, Cool, Fan, Auto, Off and Dry (first capital letter).

Is it possible to change it on github for future upgrades?

Bye

Hello,

I never had the “operation_mode” working.
I have an automation like this:

- alias: 'AIRCO KAMER Nacht modus zomer ON'
  initial_state: true
  hide_entity: True
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id:  input_boolean.airco_kamer_nachtmodus
      to: 'on'
  action:
    - service: climate.turn_on
      data:
        entity_id: climate.melcloud_zolder_117363
    - service: climate.set_temperature
      data_template:
        entity_id: climate.melcloud_zolder_117363
        temperature: 23
        operation_mode: Cool 
    - service: climate.set_fan_mode
      data:
        entity_id: climate.melcloud_zolder_117363
        fan_mode: Speed 1 (Min)

Everything works only the airco always uses the last used operation_mode. So when I put the airco in “heat” mode and then run this automation the airco starts again in heat mode . Temperature & fan_mode are set correctly to 23° & Speed 1.

Does anyone got this to work?

Thanks,

Erik

Isn’t climate working on way that remember last run option ?

If I am correct then if you run as Cool and shutdown climate as Cool mode, then next time it will be started as Cool.
But if you run climate with remote control, then it will use last remote control settings…

Hi,
I got it working in the mean while.

E.

Sorry, I can’t do any coding or I don’t know what to do with those ready github python files. Could someone be so kind and like tell me how to get started and what to do. The purpose is that i would get Voice Control (through Google Home) to MelCloud Mitsubishi’s AC’s.

This custom component will stop working on 0.96 releasing this week.

Multiple breaking changes to climate. I have created a issue. But not sure if it will be updated before hass 0.96 is released.
