Installed today. This is awsome, thanks a lot for your work, jeatheak!
Hi
I understand that this integration is for aircons and home assistance server installed and accessible on the local network.
However my Home Assistant is at home while the aircons are installed at the business premises.
Can I open ports on my router say
1234 → local_reserverd_IP-aircon1:portnumber
2345 → local_reserverd_IP-aircon2:portnumber
And then configure the aircon as
public_ip:1234 → aircon-1
public_ip:2345 → aircon-2
Will it work as expected
Or the same IP will not be taken by the integration even if the ports are different
Thanks
I think you should create a VPN tunnel between your home router and your business router.
Then you can easily open and/or forward ports.
Hi all,
I have the integration working for three units. Since the winter has started here, I’ve noticed some odd behaviour of the indoor temperature measurement. Compared to other temperature sensors in the same room, they have an extreme high value.
See the following chart:
On average, the difference between the measured inside temperature of the airco unit and my thermostat measured temperature is 5,7 °C. This becomes a problem when I turn the airco on and give it a target temperature. But when the target temperature is below its measured temperature, the unit wont work as hard to warm up the room. As a result, my living room’s temperature won’t go up, drops or takes a long time to go up.
To circumvent this, I’ve created automations to control the unit based on the temperature of the livingroom thermostat. But this is not ideal.
Do more of you have problems like this? If so, how did you solve it?
i have the same problem (also in the official app), but this is a general problem with the MH units: always measuring too high ánd updating the current temperatures to slow. I think because the sensor is on the main-board with warm electronics… and there is no offset to change.
That’s right. It’s the internal sensor. It’s ‘terrible’ and a lot of installers are complaining about this, as it is hard to explain to their customers.
I’ve hooked up a wireless remote temperature sensor kit/module to it.
Now it looks like this in my room(this is almost 24hr data, including power consumption by the outdoor unit):
