Good info.
Sure hope they will fix it.
Edit: Tried an up to date Android phone. Same issue. So is it 2 wifi modules causing problems, or a problem in the software? Considering it is 2 modules exhibiting the same behavior I am inclined to think it is related to something in the Smart m Air software. But looking for confirmation outside of my own observations.
Thanks @complex1 Frank, I tried to add wifi module to my new router, but unfortunately, I could not found the device using my iPhone with IOS 17…Looking forward to a solution!
System requirements of the Smart M-Air app is Android OS 8 ~ 13 smartphone and tablet.
If you have a new OS version, it will most likely not work either.
I managed to connect the ACs to the local network with an old iPhone 5S running iOS12.5.7.
Maybe someone you know who has an iPhone with an “older” iOS can help you.
On my phone there was an update for the Android version of Smart-M-air.
In the updated app there was a firmware update for the Wifi modules.
Installed it 22 hours ago. WF-RAC module has been connected for 22 hours, no more hourly disconnects (so far)
I can confirm that after the firmware upgrade to version 131 of the built-in WiFi modules, there are no more hourly disconnects.
@rubenejbr How did you change the name of the Airco device? Mine named 4 digits of its MAC address and I can’t find an option to change it in the smart air app
That would be so great. I tried ‘Better Thermostat’ in combination with your hack. My plan is to use a separate temperature sensor so that can control my AC behaviour
Unfortunately ‘Better Thermostat’ did not work with the Mitsubishi Wifi Module WF-RAC devices.
I’m not @rubenejbr, but I will answer your question.
If you want to change the name of the air conditioner displayed in the app, tap “Details” to display the detailed air conditioner window.
Hold the air conditioner name (1 second). The “Edit air conditioner name” dialog box opens. Here you can change the name.
I tried the Better Thermostat too. But were not able to heat it cook the MHI ac’s. Are you still using the Better Thermostat?
Yes I am. Not used the AC much lately, I guess something to further investigate when outside temperatures go up again.
Hi all,
I plan to create an automation to set the target temperature. What is the sensor of this itegration where save the wanted target temperature?
Maybe something like this?
- service: climate.set_temperature
data:
temperature: '{{ temperature }}'
hvac_mode: '{{ hvac_mode }}'
target:
entity_id: 'climate.{{ unit_name }}'
Is it posible to change the Fan Mode when a target has been reached?
Do you mean the Fan speed or the (Hor/Vert) Swing mode?
Both can be changed.
Nice, can you telll me how?
Does this help you?
# Fan speed
- service: climate.set_fan_mode
data:
fan_mode: '{{ fan_mode }}'
target:
entity_id: 'climate.{{ unit_name }}'
# Vertical swing direction
- service: climate.set_swing_mode
data:
swing_mode: '{{ ver_swing }}'
target:
entity_id: 'climate.{{ unit_name }}'
# Horizontal swing direction
- service: select.select_option
data:
option: '{{ hor_swing }}'
target:
entity_id: 'select.{{ unit_name }}_horizontal_swing_direction'
I now have this and does not work:

You can control all with the code I’ve shared above and with the “Simple Thermostat” Card (including vertical swing mode). Horizontal swing is a bit different since it’s a drop down list. Thererfore you have to put the “Simple Thermostat” card and this dropdown list into a vertcal stack in card.
FYI, the last 2024.01 HA update brings a new feature to the “Thermostat Card”. It is now possible to add the fan mode to the card. But vertical swing mode is still not there.
